    A detailed evaluation of the skeletal elements of the skull in the grey heron (Ardea cinerea)
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2014) Atalgin, Sukru Hakan; Buyukcopur, Emine Umran Bozkurt; Kurtul, Ibrahim
    This study was designed to reveal, in detail, the features of the skull bones in the grey heron, a species of the family Ardeidae, and to compare the findings with previous related literature reports and with Nomina Anatomica Avium. The articulation between the nasal and frontal bones was observed to be through the movable frontonasal joint. The upper beak fused with the neurocranium via this joint and with the palatine and vomer. It was also bound indirectly through the zygomatic bone articulating with the quadrate bone. The frontal bone possessed the frontal depression dorsally. Wideness of the frontal bone and supranasal pila seemed to be unique for the grey heron. The quadrate bone was observed to play a primary role in the beak action. No medial process was present in the mandible. Overall, the results hereby indicate that the wider jaw opening and sharp and pointed nature of the beaks in the grey heron enable it to feed on such creatures as fish, frogs, and crustaceans.

    The effect of the daylight length on, mass and vascularization of the quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica): an experimental study
    (Agricultural Research Communication Centre, 2016) Atalgin, Sukru Hakan; Kurtul, Ibrahim; Karagoz, Yalcin; Ates, Sevinc
    A number of 24 Japanese quails were divided into two groups in order to observe changes in vascularization and weight of the testes during the reproductive and quiescent periods. Group1 was exposed to a long photoperiod of (Light, Dark) 20hL:4hD (20 hour Light:4hour Light) at 18-24 degrees C while the Group 2 received a short photoperiod of 7hL:17hD at 8-12 degrees C. The blood vessels were filled with colored latex for examination. The results revealed that each testis was mostly nourished by a single testicular artery which was arising solely from the descending aorta. The simple nature of the vessels in the quiescent period became very complex as the testes enlarged in the reproductive stage. Weights of the testes between the groups indicated the fact that the left testis was significantly larger during the reproductive and quiescent sexual periods. Consequently, our study showed that long photoperiods and temperatures significantly affect the vascular development of the testes as it is in the reproductive development.

    Mineralization in the syrinx and caudal tracheal rings in the ostrich
    (Agricultural Research Communication Centre, 2018) Atalgin, Sukru Hakan; Ates, Sevinc; Kurtul, Ibrahim; Terzi, Hakan
    This study documented macroscopic and microscopic features and mineralization of the caudally located tracheal rings and syrinx in two ostrich (struthio camelus) having three years of age. The syrinx and trachea of the birds were stained in toto with alcian blue and alizarin red for cartilage and mineralization. Observations on the syrinx and trachea, measurements and photography were performed under stereo-microscopy. They were stained grossly using alizarin red and alcian blue to visualize mineralization and histologically by hemotoxylin and eosin (H&E) to detect ossification areas, if any. Results revealed incomplete tracheal rings located caudally in-between the intact ones. Alizarin red and alcian blue staining displayed mineralized regions grossly. Histological slides by H&E staining showed no ossification. Overall results proposed that alizarin red and alcian blue double staining is a good toll to determine mineralization which is calcium accumulation in the tissue before the formation of bone cells.
