    Persian Journal of Acarology, Vol. 3, No.2, pp. 137–143. Article A new record for the Turkish fauna: Eustigmaeus dogani (Acari: Stigmaeidae) İsmail Uluçay1* & Kamil Koç2 1 Hakkari University, Colemerik Vocational School, Hakkari, Turkey; E-mail: iulucay @gmail.com 2 Celal Bayar University, Faculty of Science and Arts, Department of Biology, Manisa, Turkey; E-mail: [email protected] * Corresponding Author Abstract In this study, on the basis of specimens collected from Kütahya, the characteristics and distribution of Eustigmaeus dogani, which is a new record for the Turkish fauna, are given. Keywords: Trombidiformes, Prostigmata, female, taxonomy, Raphignathoidea. Introduction Stigmaeidae is a family within the superfamily Raphignathoidea. These mites live in or on soil, grass, leaf, mulch, lichen, bark trees, crevices in rock and leaf cavities, and a few of them are parasitic on phlebotomine flies (Ueckermann & Meyer 1987; Noei et al. 2007; Doğan & Ayyıldız 2003; Akyol & Koç 2007; Dönel & Doğan 2011). Currently this family consists of 32 valid genera (Doğan et al. 2011; Bagheri et al. 2012). Eustigmaeus is one of the largest genera in this family (Fan & Zhang 2005; Doğan 2005; Faraji et al. 2007; Cheng & Fan 2008; Dönel & Doğan 2011). Up to now, 21 species have been reported from Turkey (Doğan 2007; Doğan et al. 2011; Dönel & Doğan 2011). This paper presents new distribution and adds a species to the Acari fauna of Turkey. Materials and methods The litter, soil and moss samples were taken from mixed habitats in Kütahya province (Turkey) and brought to the laboratory in nylon bags, and extracted in Berlese-Tullgren funnels for five to seven days.

Viticulture is characterized by relatively high pesticide inputs, which could decrease arthropod populations and biological pest control in vineyards. This problem could be counteracted with management practices such as the implementation of diverse vegetation cover in the vineyard inter-rows, reduced pesticide input in integrated or organic vineyards, and a di- verse landscape with trees and hedges.

  • Henry Namesakes
    The Joseph Henry Papers Project Page 1 of 10 Henry Namesakes By Frank Millikan Historian, Joseph Henry Papers Project Images scanned by Jennifer Nichols Program Assistant, Institutional History Division Over the years, people have honored Joseph Henry by naming a variety of things after him, including a laboratory, a professorial chair, ships, and even a mountain range. Featured below is a selection of Henry namesakes, given in chronological order. Note that the naming began during Henry's own lifetime (1797-1878). (Please click on photographs for larger images.) ca. 1854 Schooner Joseph Henry This U.S. Coast Survey schooner is the first item we have identified as a Henry namesake. The superintendent of the Coast Survey, Alexander Dallas Bache, was a close friend of Henry's and named the schooner after him. The ship was used in topographical work, as were the schooners [Louis] Agassiz and Benjamin Peirce, which Bache also named after prominent American scientists of the day. The crew of the Joseph Henry surveyed the coast of Key Largo during the 1850s. We have not been able to locate an image of the Joseph Henry; pictured at right is the Coast Survey schooner Experiment, ca. 1835 (courtesy of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Early Coast Survey schooner. Commerce).1 ca. 1855 Cape Henry Henry backed several expeditions to the North Pole from the 1850s to the 1870s. One of the most famous of these was the Second Grinnell Expedition (1853-1855), organized and led by surgeon/explorer Elisha Kent Kane. Although the expedition failed in its main mission--to locate the missing polar explorer Sir John Franklin--it did gather meteorological and other scientific data while penetrating previously unexplored regions.

A random survey was conducted to explore the predatory mite fauna from Punjab, Pakistan. The holotype female (male unknown) of the new mite species Pseudostigmaeus sorghumus sp. nov was collected from city Dera Ghazi Khan on Sorghum bicolor (L.) and described.
