However, despite their importance, only a few genetic studies have been conducted so far in ostracoda due to isolation of insufficient amounts of DNA. We present a simple, efficient and cost-effective total DNA extraction protocol from freshwater ostracods for PCR amplification. Total DNA was extracted from four freshwater ostracods; Heterocypris incongruens, Cypridopsis vidua, Eucypris virens and Herpetocypris chevreuxi. We also compared the performance of our protocol with two manual DNA extraction protocols (HotSHOT, Chelex-100) and a commercial kit (Highpure PCR template preparation kit-Roche). The success of the isolation protocol was tested by PCR and sequencing of 18S rRNA and COI regions. Although our technique, Roche and HotSHOT methods resulted in acceptable DNA concentrations and showed an amplifiable band of expected size, both our protocol and Roche generally gave better results than HotSHOT, whereas the poor results were obtained from Chelex protocol. Therefore, we suggest that filter-based DNA isolation is more reproducible than other protocols. Our protocol requires no hazardous organic solvents and adaptable to 0.5 mL 8-strip PCR tubes format facilitating DNA extraction from a large number of samples.

Alburnus istanbulensis has a remarkably limited geographic distribution, and no genetic data have been available on this species until now. The mitogenome (16,612 bp) had the typical mitochondrial characteristics of other Leuciscinae fishes. This mitogenome sequence can help to further resolve phylogenetic relationships among Cyprinidae.

The circular mitogenomes of A. tarichi was 16,602 base pairs in size, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 major non-coding control regions (D-Loop and OL). Congurence was observed between the Alburnus mtDNAs in terms of genome organization, base composition, gene arrangement, and tRNA structure. Mitogenome sequences may be useful for conservation efforts of this endangered species.

Methods: The study was carried out between April 1, 2010 and September 28, 2010. Temperature and humidity were measured daily; eggs left by diptera species, developing maggots, pupas and the adults that came to leave eggs to the trial device were all collected. Samples grown under laboratory conditions were investigated. Individuals belonging to the most important three families relevant in forensic entomology, Calliphoridae, Muscidae and Sarcophagidae, were in the region’s forensic entomology fauna. Afterwards, we investigated the duration of development of the identified samples under 25°C temperature and 60% humidity. Of the three families observed in our study, Calliphora vicina,...

The new species can be distinguished both from each other and from all their congeners by having a maxilliped with two coupling hooks; length of the appendix masculina on pleopod II; and an antennal flagellum with 12 articles in Stenosoma aaseni sp. nov.; and by having a pair of distinctive lateral spinous tubercles on pereonites I-II; and a pereon with a part of a mid-dorsal carina on the posterior half of each of the pereonites in Stenosoma inonuei sp. nov.; the two new species also differ in the morphology of mouthparts, pleotelson, and pereopods. Both new species were collected from seagrass meadows, colonized predominantly by Zostera (Zostera) marina Linnaeus, 1753 and Posidonia oceanica (Linnaeus) Delile, 1813, in the Sea of Marmara, Turkey. An up-to-date morphological identification key to species level for to genus Stenosoma is also provided.

Four specimens of Stereomastis were caught by beam-trawl on 07 August 2011 at a depth of 1000 m in the western deep basin, around the submarine thermal vent site, along the North Anatolian Earthquake Fault, in the Sea of Marmara. These specimens appeared to belong to an as yet undescribed species. As a result, Stereomastis artuzi sp. nov. is described in this study as a new species in the family Polychelidae (Decapoda, Polychelida; also alternatively classified under Decapoda, Palinura, Eryonoidea).

Prestudies for this survey were completed in May, June and July 1999 in order to determine the spots for transect counts. Gokgeada is an Aegean island that is not much known in ornithological aspects historically. During the study, transect counts were undertaken in
ten different transects, representing different habitat types. Authors recorded 63 nonpasseriformes species all of which were determined to be breeding during the study. In addition to its Mediterranean type of maquis, other habitats such as rangelands, .croplands and plantations present suitable breeding habitats to birds. Consequently, the island has an important conservation value and open to future ornithological researches.

By means of this study, a part of “Ostracoda fauna of the Agean sea” has been completed.Since some the4 genera are old records for Turkey,so that their Turkey disterbution too has been given in this study. So,The Agean Sea has been added to the zoogeographical distribution of the reported genera, in the literature, by this study.

The material for this research was obtained from ten areas during the months of autumn, 1988 and winter, 1989 and evaluation and classification of materials were made as follows:
Two suborder (Platycopa, Podocopa), one superfamily (Cytheracea), ten families (Cytherellidae, Leptocytheridae, Cytherideidae, Trachyleberididae, Hemicytheridae, Loxoconchidae, Paracytherideidae, Cytheruridae, Xestoleberididae, Paradoxostomatıdae), sixteen genera (Cytherelloidea, Callistocythere, Cyprideis, Trachyleberis, Cythereis, Carinocythereis, Costa, Buntonia, Urocythereis, Loxoconcha, Paracytheridea, Pseudocytherura, Semicytherura, Cytheropteron, Xestoleberis, Paradoxostoma), twenty-five species (Cytherelloidea sp., Calistocythere lobiancoi, Cyprideis torosa, Trachyleberis hystrix, Cythereis tuberculata, Cythereis dunelmensis, Cythereis jonesi, Carinocythereis sp., Carinocythereis aff. antiquata, Carinocythereis antiquata, Carinocythereis quadridentata, Costa edwardsii, Costa batei, Buntonia giesbrachtii, Aurila convexa, Urocythereis britannica, Loxoconcha sp., Loxoconcha rhomboidea, Paracytheridea parallia, Pseudocytherura calcarata, Semicytherura incongruens, Cytheropteron punctatum, Cytheropteron alatum, Xestoleberis sp., Paradoxostoma ensiforme) were determined.

Prestudies for this survey were completed in May, June and July 1999 in order to determine the spots for transect counts. Gokgeada is an Aegean island that is not much known in ornithological aspects historically. During the study, transect counts were undertaken in
ten different transects, representing different habitat types. Authors recorded 63 nonpasseriformes species all of which were determined to be breeding during the study. In addition to its Mediterranean type of maquis, other habitats such as rangelands, .croplands and plantations present suitable breeding habitats to birds. Consequently, the island has an important conservation value and open to future ornithological researches.

lateral spinous tubercles on pereonites I-II; and a pereon with a part of a mid-dorsal carina on the posterior half of each of the pereonites in Stenosoma inonuei sp. nov.; the two new species
also differ in the morphology of mouthparts, pleotelson, and pereopods. Both new species were collected from seagrass meadows, colonized predominantly by Zostera (Zostera) marina Linnaeus, 1753 and Posidonia oceanica (Linnaeus) Delile, 1813, in the Sea of Marmara, Turkey. An up-to-date
morphological identification key to species level for to genus Stenosoma is also provided.
Four specimens of Stereomastis were caught by beam-trawl on 07 August 2011 at a depth of 1000 m in the western deep basin, around the submarine thermal vent site, along the North Anatolian Earthquake Fault, in the Sea of Marmara. These specimens appeared to belong to an as yet undescribed species. As a result, Stereomastis artuzi sp. nov. is described in this study as a new species in the family Polychelidae (Decapoda, Polychelida; also alternatively classified under Decapoda, Palinura, Eryonoidea).
