Öğe CONTRIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE ZYGAENIDAE (LEPIDOPTERA) OF TURKIYE(Trakya Univ Balkan Yerlesesi Enstituler Binasi, 2022) Can, Feza; Ulasli, Basak; Karacetin, Evrim; Akar, SerdarThe aim of this study is to contribute to the recent distribution and systematic classification of Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera) in 12 provinces in the Aegean, eastern Anatolia, and Thrace regions of Turkiye, with the records obtained from May 2020 to September 2021. Specimens were collected or photographed at 49 out of 132 localities. Twenty Zygaenidae species from five genera belonging to Procridinae and Zygaeninae subfamilies were recorded: Theresimima Strand, 1917 (1 species), Rhagades Wallengren, 1863 (1 species), Adscita Retzius, 1783 (1 species), Jordanita Verity, 1946 (5 species), and Zygaena Fabricius, 1775 (12 species). Zygaena (Zygaena) ephialtes (Linnaeus, 1767) was recorded again nearly 200 years later since after Herrich-Schaffer's first record in 1845. Zygaena (Mesembrynus) lydia Staudinger, 1887 endemic to Turkiye, was also recorded in this study. In addition, new localities of Zygaena (Agrumenia) armena Eversman, 1851, which is known only in Turkiye and Georgia, were also recorded from the Ardahan province in the eastern Anatolia region of Turkiye.Öğe Determination of Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera) species by morphological and molecular methods in the Eastern Mediterranean Region of Turkey(Entomological Soc Turkey, Ege Univ, 2021) Ulasli, Basak; Can, FezaMorphological identification of the majority of Zygaenidae species in the Eastern Mediterranean Region of Turkey was undertaken and a phylogenetic tree of these species was generated. Sampling was performed between May and September in 2017 and 2018 in Adana, Hatay, Kahramanmaras, Mersin and Osmaniye Provinces. This area is a zoogeographical junction between central Anatolia and the Levant. The species were collected by sweep net and visual control methods. Thirteen Zygaenidae species identified: Theresimima ampellophaga (Bayle-Barelle, 1808), Adscita (Adscita) obscura (Zeller, 1847), Jordanita (Tremewania) notata (Zeller, 1847), Jordanita (Praviela) anatolica (Naufock, 1929), Jordanita (Solaniterna) subsolana (Staudinger, 1862) (Procridinae), Zygaena (Mesembrynus) diaphana Staudinger, 1887, Zygaena (Mesembrynus) graslini Lederer, 1855, Zygaena (Mesembrynus) punctum Ochsenheimer, 1808, Zyganea (Agrumenia) olivieri Boisduval, 1828, Zygaena (Agrumenia) carniolica (Scopoli, 1763), Zygaena (Agrumenia) viciae (Denis & Schiffermuller, 1775), Zygaena (Agrumenia) loti (Denis & Schiffermuller, 1775) and Zygaena (Zygaena) filipendulae (L., 1758). Macherey-Nagel NucleoSpin kit was used for DNA extraction and PCR was performed with LCO1490/HCO2198 primer pair for the mtCOI gene region. This analysis effectively separated these genera and species in the phylogenic tree, and these data supported the morphological identification.Öğe An Ethical Approach to Sericulture: Production of Peace Silk in Hatay/Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Adanir, Elvan Ozkavruk; Ileri, Berna; Can, Feza; Ulasli, BasakOne of the earliest fibers used by mankind is silk, which was first cultivated in China. Mulberry silk is produced from Bombyx Mori which feeds on mulberry tree leaves. Bombyx Mori silkworm, hatching from its egg after 8-10 days of incubation, starts spinning its cocoon around itself on the 25th or 28th day. These cocoons are subjected to dry heat or boiling water which kills the pupae. Most of the silk consumers in Turkey are not aware of the fact that the silkworms are killed before completing their natural life span. On the other hand, the number of consumers has been rising in the world who wants to wear silk without harming the animals. In this study sericulture was done in an ethical way to produce peace silk fabrics and some of the mechanical properties of the fabrics were determined. This study is of value, raising awareness about peace silk and ethical production.Öğe First discovery of the natural egg parasitoid of Cydalima perspectalis (Walker, 1859) in Turkey with molecular methods (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)(Soc Hispano-Luso-Amer Lepidopterologia-Shilap, 2022) Can, Feza; Ercan, Fahriye; Ulasli, BasakThe genus Trichogramma Westwood, 1833 are important biological control agents of especially Lepidoptera pests in all around the world. These tiny wasps can't be reliably identified owing to their small size and lack of definable morphological characters. ITS2 (Internal transcribed spacer 2) sequence-based identification has been performed successfully for years for parasitoids of the genus Trichogramma. The use of indigenous Trichogramma species against pests is very important for the success of biological control. Therefore, accurate and precise species identification of Trichogramma plays a key role in biological control programs. In the study, egg parasitoids were obtainedfrom parasitized egg masses of Cydalima perspectalis (Walker, 1859) collected in Hatay province of Turkey in May 2021. Trichogramma wasps were collected and only one species was determined by using both ribosomal and mitochondrial sequences. According to ribosomal and mitochondrial sequence results, all of the collected samples were determined to be Trichogramma evanescens Westwood, 1833. This is the first report of T. evanescens as egg parasitoid of C. perspectalis in the worldwide.Öğe First record of the egg parasitoids of Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in Turkey using DNA barcoding(Entomological Soc Turkey, Ege Univ, 2016) Can Cengiz, Feza; Kaya, Kamuran; Ulasli, Basak; Moriniere, JeromeChilo partellus (Swinhoe) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is an invasive insect species attacking maize (Zea mays L.) and other cereal crops causing important yield losses. The occurrence of this insect in Turkey was first reported in maize growing areas of some provinces in the East Mediterranean region of Turkey in 2014. Chemical or other pest control methods do not always provide acceptable control of this pest, so biological control is considered an important alternative. However, for a successful biological control, the first step is to reliably identify the natural enemies of a target pest, which is difficult to achieve using methods based on morphology. Recent developments in molecular techniques allow more reliable identification of insect species and their parasitoids. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the egg parasitoids of C. partellus by molecular methods. Parasitized eggs were collected from maize fields in Hatay province, Turkey, from September to October 2014 and in September 2015. Eggs were maintained in the laboratory and emerging adult parasitoids were subjected to molecular analysis. Using DNA barcoding, two native natural enemies, Trichogramma brassicae Bezdenko (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) and Telenomus busseolae (Gahan) (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) were identified as egg parasitoids of C. partellus for the first time in Turkey.Öğe An Integrative Approach to Understand the Biogeography, Taxonomy and Ecology of the Macroheteroceran Fauna of the Amanos Mountains in Southern Turkey(Gazi Entomological Research Soc, 2018) Can, Feza; Ulasli, Basak; Hausmann, AxelIn 2014 and 2015, Macroheterocera were collected in three altitudinal transects in the Amanos mountains from 0 m up to 1104 m above sea-level. Altogether, 249 specimens were registered. Tissues from 91 selected specimens (42 Noctuidae/Erebidae, 35 Geometridae, 14 others) were submitted to DNA barcoding, partly for identification purposes, partly to investigate zoogeographical questions about the relationships between Anatolian and Levantine populations. The sequencing was very successful (97%, only three failures) and revealed to include 81 BINs, 13 of them new for the BOLD database. Three species (Eublemma cf. gratissima, Erebidae, 3.4% from E. suppuncta; Dyspessa cf. ulula, Cossidae, 9.1% from D. ulula; Cryphia cf. ravula Noctuidae 4.7% from C. ravula) may be new for science and require further taxonomical analysis. All of them differ by more than 3.4% from their nearest neighbours, as currently present on BOLD database. In two other cases (genera Mythimna (Noctuidae) and Zeuzera (Cossidae), we found smaller genetic divergences (1.3-2.0%) from their European relatives, which require further taxonomic investigation. Geometra papilionaria (Linnaeus, 1758) and Macaria notata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Geometridae), previously only known from the Black Sea Region in Turkey, now were reported in the Amanos mountains, thus considerably extending the distribution areas southwards. Moreover, Lomaspilis marginata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Geometridae), is possibly new for Turkey as the only previous literature record (Kocak and Kemal, 2009) is doubtful as no authentic specimens have been traced. We present several cases where the DNA barcodes helped to clear up zoogeographical patterns.Öğe Isolation and identification of a fungal pathogen, Beauveria bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) Vuill. (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) from the Hatay yellow strain of silkworm, Bombyx mori L., 1758 (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) in Turkiye(Entomological Soc Turkey, Ege Univ, 2023) Gencer, Donus; Ulasli, Basak; Can, Feza; Demir, IsmailThe Hatay yellow strain of silkworm, Bombyx mori L., 1758 (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) which produces cocoons with an extraordinary yellow color range, is one of the most important endemic and endangered cultural assets in Turkiye. In this study, intense fungal infection and many deaths were detected in the breeding trays in the Hatay yellow breed production facility. An entomopathogenic fungus was isolated from Hatay yellow strain cadavers collected in 2020. According to the morphological and molecular analysis results of the isolate, which was brought into pure culture, it was identified as Beauveria bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) Vuill. (Ascomycota: Hypocreales), the isolate HS1. Phylogenetic analysis results showed that the HS1 strain was very similar (99 %) to the isolates of B. bassiana KJ6 (Iran) and ARSEF 300 (Europe). The concentration-response test using 1 x 104-8 conidia/ml concentrations produced LC50 values of the new strain of 1.2 x 103 and 0.6 x 106 conidia/ml within 7 days against the larvae of Hatay yellow strain and hybrid strain of silkworm, respectively. The results indicated that the virulence of the B. bassiana HS1 strain to the Hatay yellow strain was much more severe and that the Hatay yellow strain had to fight it to survive.Öğe A study of the Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera) fauna of Central Anatolia, Turkey(Entomological Soc Turkey, Ege Univ, 2019) Can, Feza; Efetov, Konstantin A.; Burman, Joseph; Kaya, Kamuran; Kucherenko, Elena E.; Ulasli, Basak; Tarmann, Gerhard M.The Zygaenidae fauna in some provinces (Aksaray, Karaman, Kayseri, Konya, Nevsehir and Nigde) of Central Anatolia was studied using attractant traps as well as by netting specimens in biotopes in 2017. The sex attractants for the Procridinae had been produced in the Crimean Federal University and were esters of 2-dodecenoic acid and isomers of 2-butanol: EFETOV-2 [racemic mixture of R- and S-enantiomers], EFETOV-S-2 [R-enantiomer] and EFETOV-S-S-2 [S-enantiomer]. Zygaena attractants were made at Canterbury Christ Church University using a range of acetate compounds with known attraction to various genera as originally identified by Priesner et al. (1984). Fourteen Zygaenidae species from four genera belonging to Procridinae and Zygaeninae subfamilies were found: Rhagades Wallengren, 1863 (1 species), Adscita Retzius, 1783 (1 species), Jordanita Verity, 1946 (4 species), and Zygaena Fabricius, 1775 (8 species).
