Objective: The Bille’s Lycian Salamander, Lyciasalamandra billae is an endemic salamander species of Turkey and it has a very narrow distribution area in the Antalya province of the country. A limited number of the reported populations of this critically endangered species are known. The present study aims to show that the distribution of the species extends towards the northeast of Antalya province. Materials and Methods: Two adult individuals (1 ♂ and 1 ♀) were caught from the Sarisu (Antalya, Turkey) population. The morphometric features of the individuals were measured using a digital caliper. After morphometric measurements of the individuals were taken without performing any anesthetic procedure and killing any animals, the salamanders were released back to the habitat where they were caught. Results: We recorded a new locality of the species located about 11 km northeast of Gedeller village. The habitat of the individuals from Sarisu consisted of a forested area. Vegetation of the habitat generally comprised pine trees and dwarf scrub plants. Rostrum– Anus length (RA) was 59.68 mm in the female individual and 59.03 mm in the male. The tail length (TL) was 50.14 mm in the female and 47.12 mm in the male. Conclusion: The morphometric characters and color-pattern features of the specimens were compared with the specimens reported in the literature. We found that the morphometric proportions and ratios of the Sarisu population were similar to the results of the specimens in literature, except a slightly higher HW/HL ratio of the Sarisu population. Based on our morphological findings, we concluded that our specimens belonged to the L. b. billae. However, our conclusion was not dependent on molecular data.

Objective: The genus Rumex is represented by 183 taxa across the world, with 48 taxa in Turkey. The most common species are R. acetosella L., R. acetosa L., R. alpinus L., R. crispus L., R. nepalensis Spreng., R. patientia L., R. pulcher L., R. tuberosus L. and they are known by local names such as Kuzukulagi, Sortah, Tastursusu, Eksikulak, Labada, Dibikizil, Efelek, Eksilik, Kuzuoglagi, Kuzukikirdagi, Ak labada, Eksi yemis. In this study, those Rumex species used for medical and food purposes by people in Turkey were compiled. The aim of this study is to provide a basis for chemical, physiological, molecular or agricultural studies and to support them in easily accessing the bibliography without wasting time. Materials and Methods: Approximately 250 ethnobotanical articles were examined from Turkey and other countries around the world about the local usages of the genus Rumex. The data were listed as a table and according to the data compiled from these articles, the Use-Value (UV) index among species was calculated. Results: In the ethnobotanical studies compiled, it was determined that the species most used by people were R. crispus, R. acetocella and R. acetosa. 174 ethnobotanical usages in Turkey, 152 ethnobotanical usages from different countries for 27 Turkish Rumex taxa have been recorded. When the parts used were compared, it was seen that the leaves and roots are mostly used. Considering the usage purposes of the Rumex genus, it was revealed that there are many different uses, however, the most common uses are for food purposes. In the compiled study, the species with the highest UV values were calculated as R. crispus, R. acetosella, R. acetosa, R. patienta, and R. scutatus. Conclusion: Rumex taxa are used widely by people for reasons such as having a wide distribution area, growth around agricultural areas and being in areas where people can easily reach them. Also, they do not need special conditions for germination and growth. However, since they have a sourish flavour, consuming them raw as a salad can trigger some health problems. Although there are studies reporting that levels of oxalic acid, which is the source of this sour taste, decrease in cooking, there are also clinical studies that show that it can accumulate in the body and have some long-term toxic effects.

Istanbul University (I.U.) plays an important role in handing down the valuable to the next generations by protecting its scientific and cultural assets with the museums it possesses. Fish collection have inherited from I.U. Hydrobiology Institute to I.U. Faculty of Aquatic Sciences and preserved until today in I.U. Faculty of Aquatic Sciences, Inland Fisheries Production and Research Unit located in Sapanca (Sakarya, Turkey). In course of time, the protective liquid of fish material has begun to evaporate from the jars; or they have somehow lost their efficiency in protection. For this reason, it was aimed to recover this collection, which contains rare samples from Turkish seas and freshwater habitats, to update the jar labels, and to replenish the preservative fluids. During this venture, we came across some fish samples that were collected and examined by Prof. Dr. Fahire Battalgazi, the first Turkish woman ichthyologist, who occupies an important position in the history of science of Turkey. Here, we introduce the fish species ( Alburnus kotschyi, Capoeta barroisi, C. trutta, Carasobarbus luteus, Garra kemali, Gobio microlepidotus, G. insuyanus, Oxynoemacheilus eregliensis, Petroleuciscus borysthenicus, Squalius fellowesii and Vimba vimba ) collected and/or examined by Prof. Dr. Fahire Battalgazi and labeled with her own handwriting.

Along with the literature information obtained from previous studies, the determination of species in herpetofauna studies gives information about the herpetofauna of the research area. Researching the herpetofauna of regions is very important in terms of conservation of species, revealing biodiversity, identifying possible threats, and determining the preventitive measures to be taken against these threats. The study area is the southwestern coastal regions of Canakkale, which is also the westernmost coast of Anatolia. This area consists of the localities of Ahmetce, Sazli, Kozlu, Behram, Bektas, Koyunevi, Babakale, Gulpinar, Tuzla, Kosedere, and Tavakli. Because it has the potential to be a coastline separated by the end of the Kaz Mountains, this study area has different habitats and has the potential to host species that exceed isolation of the Kaz Mountains. In this study, the amphibian and reptile diversity of terrestrial and aquatic areas along the coast of Southwest Anatolia starting from the end of the Kaz Mountains, which is the habitat preferences of the species, and the effects of environmental and anthropogenic factors on the herpetofauna of the region were investigated. A total of 5 amphibian species and 16 reptile species have been identified in the southwestern coastal areas of Canakkale, and the Testudo graeca species are vulnerable according to the IUCN categories.

Microorganisms inhabit extreme environments such as high nickel rich soils are novel in terms of diversity and also valuable source of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes. The present study focused on isolation and characterization of heterotrophic bacteria from Nickel rich soils in Canakkale, using culture dependent method and assessment of their heavy metal, antibiotic resistance and potential for production of some industrially important enzymes. Total 35 bacterial isolates were characterized morphologically, biochemically and these analysis of strains revealed that these strains were able to grow between 4-50 °C. These isolates also showed high heavy metal and antibiotic resistance and ability to produce one or more extracellular enzymes like amylase, protease, lipase and DNAse. Thus, the isolates from Ezine, Canakkale could be potential candidates for industrial applications.

Prof. Dr. Fahire (Battalgil) Battalgazi was born as an Ottoman Empire subject in Istanbul at the turbulent beginning of the 20th century (1902/1905?-1948). She had a short but very successful academic career at Istanbul University and Paris Sorbonne University. Since her field of study was the fresh water fish biodiversity and systematic in Turkey she travelled a lot, inspecting the rivers of Anatolia. She was the first zoologist of Turkey and had identified 30 new fish species in 5 manuscripts between the years 1940-1944. Today 15 of her foundings are valid. With this study we will be giving information about her academic career and family life.

The Spotted whip snake, Hemorrhois ravergieri, has been known to be present in the Mediterranean, Central Anatolia, Southeastern Anatolia, Eastern Anatolia and Black Sea regions in the literature. Until now, its presence has only been reported in Artvin, Trabzon and Bayburt provinces in the Black Sea region of Turkey, in the literature. The locality record of the H. ravergieri from Gumushane Province in the Black Sea region was provided in the current study. The record extended the distribution of this species in Turkey. The pholidolial and morphometric characters, and color-pattern features of two female specimens are given in detail and compared with the specimens in the literature. The specimens examined were similar to Hemorrhois ravergieri specimens mentioned in the literature. Only a morphological character (the undivided anal plate) was observed to be different from the features given in the literature. The findings show that the Spotted whip snake can be found in other provinces with suitable habitats in the Black Sea region in Turkey.

Until now, its presence has only been reported in Artvin, Trabzon and Bayburt provinces in the Black Sea region of Turkey, in the literature. The locality record of the H. ravergieri from Gumushane Province in the Black Sea region was provided in the current study. The record extended the distribution of this species in Turkey. The pholidolial and morphometric characters, and color-pattern features of two female specimens are given in detail and compared with the specimens in the literature.
