The aim of this study was to research the bat species and their distribution in the Ankara province from June 1974 to May 1976.This study is hased on a total of 265 specimens and related field notes. Ali external measurements and weights were taken in the flesh. The specimens were prepared in the field in conventional museum type.Notes on habitat, colour and distribution of each species were recorded. The specimens were divided into three age groups: infant, juvenile and adult. The tables present only the measurement of the adult groups. The secondary sexual differences between adult males and females were examined statistically. Statistical comparisons were carried out only adequate specimens. Keys were also prepared. on the samples with Our specimens inciude Rhinoîophusferrumequinum, Rhinolophus hipposideros, Rhinolophus mehelyif Myotis myotis, Myotis biythi, Pipistrellus pipistrellus^ Pipistrellus savii, Eptesicus serotinus and Miniopterus schreibersi. This is the first record of Pipistrellus savii (or Central Anatolia. However, its first record for Anatolia was from Southern Turkey. From the above species only Rhinolophus ferrumequinum and Pipistrellus pipistrellus were recorded earlier and ali others are new records for the Ankara province.
AÞAN BAYDEMÝR N., ALBAYRAK Ý., GÖZÜTOK S. 2011. Cytogenetic study on Microtus guentheri (Danford and Alston, 1880) (Mammalia: Rodentia) from Turkey: Constitutive heterochromatin distribution and nucleolar organizer regions. Folia biologica (Kraków) #': 35-40. Conventionally stained, C-and Ag-NOR banded karyotypes of Guenthers vole, Microtus guentheri were studied from Turkey. The species possesses a karyotype of 2n=54, NFa= 52 and NF=54 in specimens from Kahramanmaraº and Gaziantep provinces, whereas NF= 56 in females and NF=55 in males were found in individuals from Kýrýkkale and Nevþehir provinces. The X chromosome was a large acrocentric (NF=54) or submetacentric (NF=55, 56) while the Y chromosome was a small telocentric in all specimens examined. Blocks of constitutive heterochromatin were located in the pericentromeric areas of autosomes including the X chromosome. Nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) were located at the telomeric regions of the short arms of five acrocentric pairs and centromeric regions of two telocentric pairs in the Nevþehir and Kýrýkkale specimens.
The aim of this study was to determine and compare some morphometric characteristics of Microtus species occurring in the central Anatolia, Turkey. This study is based on 209 specimens of Microtus spp. collected the central Anatolia between 2003 and 2010. Some features concerning pelage coloration, cranial characters, tooth morphotype, and baculum morphology of the species were recorded to determine and evaluate their taxonomic characteristics. It was determined that four species of the genus Microtus occur in the study area, including Microtus dogramacii, Microtus guentheri, Microtus hartingi, and Microtus mystacinus. Microtus hartingi has been found to be widespread throughout central Anatolia. Microtus guentheri is located in the type locality and nearby provinces. M. guentheri and M. hartingi were not found to be sympatric. Among species, M. hartingi has the longest hind foot and M. mystacinus has the longest tail. The UPGMA trees were constructed for each sex, using skull and external measurements of Microtus specimens. As a result, M. dogramacii and M. guentheri being the most similar, and M. mystacinus is the sister species to these. But, it was determined that M. hartingi is distinctively from the these species.
