Objective: The genus Liquidambar , is one of many woody genera with morphologically similar species in America, Southeast Europe, and Asia and is thought to have existed on Earth for about 65 million years. Liquidambar orientalis (Anatolian sweetgum tree) is distributed in southwestern Türkiye. With this study, it was aimed to reveal the sequence differences of the psaA/ycf3 inter-gene space region of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) in L. orientalis populations for the first time in the scientific literature. Materials and Methods: In addition, the polymorphism levels, and the molecular evolution of the studied gene region of the L. orientalis populations were investigated. 154 samples were collected from 12 different populations belonging to four provinces, Muğla, Burdur, Antalya, and Aydın, and were studied and the psaA/ycf3 gene encoded by chloroplast DNA was analysed by partial base sequence analysis. Results: Haplotype diversity ( h ) and the average nucleotide diversity (π) values for all populations were found to be 0.52933 ± 0.011, and 0.00086 ± 0.0001, respectively. According to the results of our research, the gene flow level ( N m ) among the populations was 1.40. F ST values revealed statistically significant genetic differences between the Fethiye-Yanıklar population of Muğla province and other studied populations. Conclusion: According to the results of the study, Fethiye-Yanıklar, Marmaris-National Park, and Fethiye-İnlice locations, where the highest genetic diversities detected among the studied populations, were found to be important in terms of conservation studies.

Objective: There are millions of specimens in biodiversity collections and museums. The conversion of these specimens in collections to digital data started in the last quarter century and has increased rapidly. This process has caused museums to create digital specimens. In this study, it is aimed to simplify digital photography and to standardize the creation of data sets in digitizing the existing biodiversity collections in our country and to present them to open access by combining them with different collections. Materials and Methods: In the study, the methods used for obtaining digital images of vertebrate and invertebrate animals in the collection of the ESOGÜ Zoology Museum and creating data sets are shared. A lighting cabinet consisting of 60 × 60 cm 40 W LED panels was designed and used to take the digital images of the samples. Results: A registration code of six letters and six numbers, which will be used to create inventories of biodiversity samples, and three different sample data labels for the exhibited samples were designed in the study. A naming rule has been established for archiving all digital images in a digital environment. Conclusion: Information on using the designed lighting cabinet in different animal museum specimens is provided and the results are shared.

Objective: In the present study, the morphological features of common tortoise ( Testudo graeca Linnaeus, 1758) found in the Pamukkale ruins and determined to be two-headed Siamese twins, were investigated using computed tomography. Material and Methods: The size and weight of the twin tortoise were measured and placed under care in a terrarium similar to their natural habitat. The anatomical features of the two headed Siamese twins were evaluated by three-dimensional volumetric computed tomography. Results: The Siamese twins combined from the end of the shell have 4 anterior extremities and 2 posterior extremities. Even though tortoises were conjoined, they were reacting independently, but had to move together due to their abnormal shell structures. The Siamese twins weighed 13.2 grams when they were found. They survived 47 days in the terrarium. The tomography scanning showed that that one of the twins was fused from the 7 th vertebrae and the other from the 8 th vertebrae. Although the internal organ structure is not clear, it has been observed that they use a shared cloaca. Conclusion: The anomalies rarely seen in reptiles can be caused by many factors, including environmental and genetic factors.
目的:利用计算机断层扫描技术,对Pamukkale遗址中发现的一种被确定为双头连体双胞胎的普通龟(Testudo graeca Linnaeus, 1758)的形态特征进行了研究。材料和方法:测量了双龟的大小和重量,并将其放在一个类似于其自然栖息地的玻璃容器中。双头连体双胞胎的解剖特征被评估三维体积计算机断层扫描。结果:从壳端结合的连体双胞胎有4个前肢和2个后肢。尽管龟是连体的,但它们的反应是独立的,但由于它们的外壳结构异常,它们不得不一起移动。这对连体双胞胎被发现时重13.2克。它们在玻璃容器中存活了47天。断层扫描显示双胞胎中的一个是从第7节椎骨融合而来,另一个是从第8节椎骨融合而来。虽然内部器官结构不清楚,但已经观察到它们使用一个共同的泄殖腔。结论:爬行动物中罕见的畸形是由多种因素引起的,包括环境因素和遗传因素。

Objective: Plants have long been used for medicinal purposes and to treat various illnesses. Despite the rich potential of the Argo District in the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan, no studies have attempted to study its medicinal plant diversity. This study aims to fill this gap and identity the diversity of medicinal plants in the study area. Materials and Methods : Field surveys and interviews were conducted between May and October 2021, by using semi-structured questionnaires. 136 informants, from 113 households in 16 villages, were interviewed and respondents were selected randomly. Additionally, transect walks in the field were used to collect medicinal plants in the study area and the collected specimens were stored in the laboratory of Biology Department at Badakhshan University. Results: The study found 49 medicinal plant species, belonging to 44 genera and 26 families, to have medicinal properties. The largest percentage of herbal plants belonged to the families of Rosaceae 10%, Fabaceae 10%, Asteraceae 8%, Apiaceae 6%, Brassicaceae 6%, and Amaranthaceae 4% in reducing order of frequency of reported use. The highest genera were Ziziphora and the lowest genera were Portulaca . In terms of habit formation, herbs were the highest percentage at 80%, followed by trees at 14%, and shrubs at 6%. The highest percentage of utilizable plant parts were the leaves (24%), roots (23%), fruits (17%), flowers (14%), seeds (12%), and shoots (10%). Conclusion: The local people used 49 different species of medicinal plants to treat a variety of ailments, including headaches, dysentery, cough, fever, gastritis, hypertension, diarrhea, anemia, and wounds.
