The Hydrobiidae family is the most common and diverse taxa of freshwater gastropods in the aquatic ecosystem. Among Hydrobiidae, Grossuana Radoman, 1983 is a tiny spring-inhabitant genus which is mainly distributed in Balkan countries. We surveyed various freshwater ecosystems in the Çanakkale Province, northwestern Turkey, including Mount Kazdağı, and found eight of Grossuana which are new to science: G. azizsancari, G. kazdagiana, G. onderi, G. bayramicensis, G. kirkgozlerensis, G. canakkalensis, G. arslanarum, and G. tunceri. The species are described here. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:2092E33B-A83E-4B20-826B-A70B0E11AB1D

The Black Seabream (Spondyliosoma cantharus) and the White Seabream (Diplodus sargus) of the Sparidae family occur in the same habitat and the aim of this study was to examine the feeding ecology and reveal dietary overlap between these two species. For this purpose, individuals were obtained from commercial longline fishermen from Gökçeada Island, North Aegean Sea. Algae, hydrozoans and Cnidaria (Anemonia sp.) were the most preferred food items for the Black Seabream, whereas Gastropoda (Prosobranchiata), Brachyura (Goneplax rhomboides) and Echinodermata (Paracentrotus lividus) were most frequent food items for the White Seabream. Feeding activity and diet diversity were higher in summer. A clear dietary shift from smaller and semi-mobile prey (such as Gastopoda) to large and mobile prey (such as Brachuya) was found for both species with the increase in length. No dietary overlap was found between the two co-occuring species.

The phylogenetic, phylogeographic and evolution history of Sciurus anomalus was studied in the Anatolian Peninsula using a 1726 bp region of the mitochondrial genome. The phylogenetic and network analyses of 32 specimens suggested that S. anomalus consists of two main mitochondrial lineages, an eastern and a western lineage. Both lineages are nested within the Greek and Lebanese populations, but not within the Syrian or Iranian populations. Coalescence analyses indicated that both lineages originated during the Chibanian geological stage under the climatic fluctuations, one of them within western Anatolia or the Aegean islands and the other one in eastern Anatolia or the Caucasus region. The neutrality and mismatch analyses offered a possible scenario suggesting the existence of different lineages in the Anatolian Peninsula. Isolation by distance typically represented a significant positive correlation between geographic distance and genetic divergence in both lineages. The analyses also suggest that the eastern and western lineages of S. anomalus may represent a metapopulation in Anatolia.

Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) are globally endangered and very little is known about their population in Egypt’s Red Sea. Abu Dabbab Bay was believed to contain one of the most dense and important green turtle feeding grounds in the Egyptian Red Sea. The results of our surveys suggest that Abu Dabbab Bay is a high density feeding ground with 612±61.9 turtles/km2 and a mean population size of 104±10 turtles. The density and abundance of green turtles in Abu Dabbab bay has at least doubled, depending upon survey month, in a ten year span This increase could be the result of reduced shark populations in the Red Sea, a temporary reduction of tourist numbers from the Covid 19 pandemic, and/or local initiatives by private stakeholders to reduce disturbance. Regular monitoring the is needed to better understand the reasons for future population trends.

We assessed vegetation cover density and distribution in Eastern Jordanian rangeland reserves (2411 km2) using a series of Landsat images (34 year’s period) and ground cover survey (2020) to identify proper sites for reintroducing Arabian Oryx (Oryx leucoryx). The natural reserves were Burqu Nature Reserve site-1, and site-2 (Dmetheh), and Al Dahek Nature Reserve. Satellite sensor data from Landsat-8-OLI and Landsat- 5-TM were used to derive Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) between 1986 and 2020 and across growing seasons (March and April). The Dmetheh site had the highest vegetation cover density over the growing season and across years (1986-2020). Scattered shrubs and grasses (NDVI: 0.1–0.2) consistently covered more than 40% (600-700 km2) of the Dmetheh reserve, while in the other reserves vegetation cover were inconsistent and covered less than 500 km2. Considering the Landsat- NDVI results, Dmetheh site was selected for further assessment. Ground survey of Dmetheh site showed that there were 54 palatable species (53% of total plants) and total ground vegetation cover (%) of the site in March was about 22.5%. The relationship between Landsat-NDVI values and ground vegetation cover was significant (R2=73.3, P<0.001). Overall, remotely-sensed data hold promise for the assessment process of identifying proper sites to reintroduce Arabian Oryx in arid environments.

The genetic structure of four populations of Androctonus crassicauda (Olivier, 1807) from different ecogeographical regions of Saudi Arabia was studied. To detect genetic differences among populations, the sequences of the cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene of 21 individuals of A. crassicauda from Saudi Arabia, and 11 sequences from Iran were utilised. The nucleotide and haplotype diversity were constructed. The results revealed a high level of haplotype and nucleotide diversity within all populations. A total of eighteen haplotypes were identified, 17 of which were unique. Molecular variance analysis (AMOVA) indicated a high genetic diversity reflecting differences between the populations. Fixation indices revealed significant genetic structure among all populations from Saudi Arabia and Iran. Also, the phylogenetic tree and the haplotype network analyses show the existence of three distinct clusters of A. crassicauda in Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Sharks are one of the most threatened groups of marine animals because of high exploitation rates coupled with low resilience to fishing pressure. We provide information on the current status of the young sharks caught in fishing nets in Iskenderun and Mersin Bays in the eastern Mediterranean, based on fishery-dependent surveys conducted between 2010 and 2021. Sharks were found in bycatches in trawling nets, trammel nets, bottom longlines and fishing lines. Incidental captures of young-of-the-year or juvenile specimens (n=269) included 15 species and the data indicate that İskenderun and Mersin Bays may serve as a nursery ground for the new-born and young individuals especially for the Blackmouth Catshark (Galeus melastomus), the Lesser Spotted Dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula), and the Velvet Belly (Etmopterus spinax). If necessary measures are taken, bycatch can be reduced to a certain limit, or even eliminated for shark species in the Mediterranean Sea.

Caucasia is a global biodiversity hotspot, rich in amphibians, including several endemic species. We sequenced samples from Parsley frogs (genus Pelodytes) across their Anatolian range to generate a barcode reference database and to assess patterns of genetic diversity in the species. Different species delimitation methods (ABGD, ASAP, GMYC and PTP) were applied to assess species diversity in the genus Pelodytes based on published and newly obtained mtDNA sequences. A majority of the species delimitation tests (ABGD, GMYC and ASAP) recovered four taxonomic units corresponding to currently accepted taxonomy (P. atlanticus, P. caucasicus, P. ibericus and P. punctatus). PTP, on the other hand, recovered only two taxonomic units, one combining the three Iberian taxa (P. atlanticus, P. ibericus, and P. punctatus), and the other, P. caucasicus. In Anatolia, individuals from Giresun and Trabzon were found to be genetically closer to each other compared to those from Rize and Artvin, based on genetic distances and phylogenetic and haplotype network analyses.

The genus Camponotus Mayr is the second speciose ant genus after Pheidole Westwood and includes two parasitic species, Camponotus ruseni Karaman and C. universitatis Forel which are known only from Turkey to co-exist. We present new records with some biological notes of this parasitic species from Turkey and describe the hitherto unknown queen of C. ruseni. Also, the parasitism status of C. ruseni is discussed.
Camponotus Mayr属是继Pheidole Westwood之后的第二个物种蚂蚁属，包括两个寄生物种，Camponotuss ruseni Karaman和C.universitatis Forel，这两个物种只在土耳其共存。我们提供了来自土耳其的这种寄生物种的新记录和一些生物学笔记，并描述了迄今为止未知的C.ruseni女王。此外，还讨论了鲁塞线虫的寄生状况。
