Hüseyin TÜRKER ÖZET BAZI KURT ÖRÜMCEKLERİN (ARANEAE: LYCOSIDAE) KARYOTİP ANALİZLERİNİN ARAŞTIRILMASI TÜRKER, Hüseyin Niğde Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Biyoloji Ana Bilim Dalı Danışman : Doç. Dr. Hakan DEMİR Ocak 2016, 56 sayfa Bu çalışmada, Lycosidae familyasına ait Alopecosa pulverulenta (Clerck, 1757) ve A. accentuata (Latreille, 1817) türlerinin karyolojik analizleri yapılmıştır. A. accentuata (Latreille, 1817) ile ilgili literatürde herhangi bir çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. A. accentuata (Latreille, 1817) türünün diploid sayısı ve kromozom morfolojisi ilk kez tanımlanmıştır. Türün diploid sayının 2n♂ = 28 (26+X1X2) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Alopecosa pulverulenta (Clerck, 1757) ve A. accentuata (Latreille, 1817) türlerinin karyotipik özelliklerinin diğer Alopecosa Simon, 1885 türleriyle aynı olduğu görülmüştür. Anahtar sözcükler: Sitogenetik, Karyotip, Kromozom, Lycosidae iv SUMMARY KARYOTYPE ANALYSIS OF SOME WOLF SPIDERS (ARANEAE: LYCOSIDAE) INVESTIGATION TÜRKER, Hüseyin Nigde University Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences Department of Biology Supervisor : Assoc. Prof. Hakan DEMİR Ocak 2016, 56 pages In this study the analysis of the caryology of Alopecosa pulverulenta (Clerck, 1757) and A. accentuata (Latreille, 1817) belonging to family of Lycosidae have been made. About the information of the species A. accentuata (Latreille, 1817) has not found any studies in the literature. Diploid number and chromosome morphology of the species A. accentuata (Latreille, 1817) has been identified for the first time. Diploid number of this species has been determined 2n♂ = 28 (26 + X1X2). Character of the karyotypes of the species of Alopecosa pulverulenta (Clerck, 1757) and A. accentuata (Latreille, 1817) were observed the same as other congener of the Alopecosa Simon, 1885 species. Keywords: Cytogenetic, Karyotype, Chromosome, Lycosidae v ÖNSÖZ İnsanların en çok karşılaştıkları ve ne işe yaradığı konusunda uzmanlar dışında pek bilgi sahibi olmadıkları örümcekler; eklembacaklıların (Arthropoda) arachnida sınıfında yer almakta olup bilinmeyen özellikleri bilinen özelliklerinden çok fazladır. Dünyada daha çok karalarda bazen de tatlı sularda yaşarlar. En önemli özellikleri böceklerle beslenerek biyolojik dengenin korunmasında görev almalarıdır. Anatomileri, ağ yapımında kullandıkları ipeğin yapısı, dayanıklılığı, ağ şekilleri ve sitogenetik yapısı gibi sahip oldukları birçok karakteristik özelliklerin biyoteknolojik çalışmalara yön göstermesi, yaşam alanlarının çok geniş olması gibi nedenlerden dolayı birçok bilim adamının ilgisini çekmeyi başarmıştır. Ülkemizin Palearktik bölgedeki konumu son derece önemlidir. Türkiye, kıtalar arasında köprü niteliğinde olmasından dolayı diğer canlı gruplarında olduğu gibi örümcek faunası bakımından da zenginlik arz etmektedir. Amerika ve Avrupa ülkelerinde örümcek karyotip analizlerinin çok uzun yıllar önce tespit edilmiş olmasına karşın bu konu hakkında ülkemizde halen çok az bilgi mevcuttur. Bu çalışma ile zengin bir biyolojik çeşitliliğe sahip ülkemizin bazı bölgelerinden temin edilen Kurt örümceklerin karyotip analizlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmış olup, bu çalışma ileride yapılacak sitogenetik ve sitotaksonomik araştırmalara ışık tutacaktır.

The predicted lethality of mesotrione on each spider species based upon soil association levels and species size. Toxicity is predicted to increase with smaller size and Mesotrione is a widely used agricultural herbicide and is frequently used alone or as an adjuvant for the Susquehanna University’s campus. Each spider was housed in a 473 ml (16oz) greater soil contact. Sample sizes for each species are indicated to the left. A total of 615 herbicides glyphosate and atrazine.

  • Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve
    Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve Arthropods are characterized by having jointed limbs and exoskeletons. They include a diverse assortment of creatures: Insects, spiders, crustaceans (crayfish, crabs, pill bugs), centipedes and millipedes among others. Column Headings Scientific Name: The phenomenal diversity of arthropods, creates numerous difficulties in the determination of species. Positive identification is often achieved only by specialists using obscure monographs to ‘key out’ a species by examining microscopic differences in anatomy. For our purposes in this survey of the fauna, classification at a lower level of resolution still yields valuable information. For instance, knowing that ant lions belong to the Family, Myrmeleontidae, allows us to quickly look them up on the Internet and be confident we are not being fooled by a common name that may also apply to some other, unrelated something. With the Family name firmly in hand, we may explore the natural history of ant lions without needing to know exactly which species we are viewing. In some instances identification is only readily available at an even higher ranking such as Class. Millipedes are in the Class Diplopoda. There are many Orders (O) of millipedes and they are not easily differentiated so this entry is best left at the rank of Class. A great deal of taxonomic reorganization has been occurring lately with advances in DNA analysis pointing out underlying connections and differences that were previously unrealized. For this reason, all other rankings aside from Family, Genus and Species have been omitted from the interior of the tables since many of these ranks are in a state of flux.

We have interpreted this in a broad sense, so that all islands from Trinidad to the Bahamas have been included. Furthermore, we have included Bermuda, even though it is well north of the Caribbean region proper, as a more logical extension of the island fauna rather than the continental North American fauna. This was mentioned by Banks (1902b) nearly a century ago. Country or region (e. g., pantropical) records are included for those species which have broader ranges than the Caribbean area. We have not specifically included the islands of the Florida Keys, even though these could legitimately be included in the Caribbean region, because the known fauna is mostly continental. However, when Florida is known as the only continental U.S.A.

Petr Dolejš Konzultant: prof. RNDr. Jan Buchar, DrSc. Praha, 2012 Poděkování Rád bych touto cestou poděkoval svému školiteli, Mgr. Petru Dolejšovi, za odborné vedení, podnětné rady a poskytnutí obtížně dostupné literatury. Bez jeho pomoci by pro mě psaní bakalářské práce nebylo realizovatelné. Díky patří také mému konzultantovi, prof. RNDr. Janu Bucharovi, DrSc., který svými radami a bohatými zkušenostmi přispěl k lepší kvalitě této bakalářské práce. Nemohu opomenout ani svou rodinu a přítelkyni Kláru, kteří pro mě byli během práce s literaturou a psaní rešerše velkou oporou a projevovali nemalou dávku tolerance. Prohlášení: Prohlašuji, že jsem závěrečnou práci zpracoval samostatně a že jsem uvedl všechny použité informační zdroje a literaturu. Tato práce ani její podstatná část nebyla předložena k získání jiného nebo stejného akademického titulu. V Praze, 25.08.2012 Podpis 2 Obsah: Abstrakt 4 1. Úvod 5 1.1. Taxonomie rodu Alopecosa 6 2.
