Aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae) species in Burdur urban parks with three records for the fauna of Turkey, their host plants and predators

Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the aphid species on 34 ornamental plants in 16 urban parks in the provincial center of Burdur and their predators in April-November 2018-2019. Forty-eight species in 23 genera of Aphididae were detected.

New contributions to the Turkish aphid fauna and species composition (Hemiptera: Aphididomorpha) in Isparta forests

“…In 2020, it is notable that the detection of the most common species (A. robiniae with 360 specimens) on the host plant R. pseudoacacia, was from only two sampling areas using systematic sampling. It is concluded that A. robiniae was among the highest detected species as a result of its host plant-specific nature (Görür et al, 2014(Görür et al, , 2020Oğuzoğlu & Avcı, 2019;Kök et al, 2020Kök et al, , 2022Kök & Özdemir, 2021;Patlar et al, 2021).…”

“…Finally, Oğuzoğlu & Avcı (2019) determined the distribution, damage and natural enemies of C. cedri in the cedar forests of Isparta and Burdur Provinces. When looking at other studies, eighteen aphid species were detected in the Gölcük Nature Park in Isparta Province (Barjadze et al, 2014), 58 aphid species on P. nigra, Quercus spp., Juniperus spp., C. libani and A. cilicica were detected in Central Anatolia (Afyonkarahisar, Kütahya and Uşak Provinces) (Görür et al, 2014), 48 aphid species were detected in city parks in Burdur Province (Patlar et al, 2021) and 54 aphid species were detected in Antalya Province (Güleç, 2011). Comparing the number of aphid species to the number of host plants in the regions close to the study area, it was evident that the number of aphid species was high.…”

“…In Türkiye, to date Aphis craccivora, A. craccivora subsp. pseudacaciae Takahashi, 1966, A. fabae Scopoli, 1763, A. gossypii Glover, 1877, A. spiraecola Patch, 1914, A. nasturtii Kaltenbach, 1843, A. sambuci, Brachycaudus (Brachycaudus) helichrysi and Therioaphis riehmi (Börner, 1949) have been found on R. pseudoacacia (Schimitscheki, 1944;Yüksel, 1998;Bayhan et al, 2014;Aslan & Uygun, 2005;Toper Kaygın et al, 2008;Akyürek, 2013;Görür et al, 2014Görür et al, , 2018Kök et al, 2016;Patlar et al, 2021). The feeding of Appendiseta robiniae on the R. pseudoacacia is a new record for Turkish aphid fauna, thus the Turkish aphid fauna reached 615 species (Figure 2) (Görür et al, 2022).…”

“…It was noted that this aphid on the endemic oak, Q. vulcanica, was a first record in Türkiye with 10 aphid species detected on this host. Forty-two aphid species have been detected on oak trees in Türkiye (Çanakçıoğlu, 1975;Düzgüneş et al, 1980;Özkazanç & Yücel, 1985;Tuatay, 1999;Uygun et al, 2000;Aslan & Uygun, 2005;Eser et al, 2009;Görür et al, 2009Görür et al, , 2014Görür et al, , 2018Tepecik, 2010;Çalışkan et al, 2012;Akyürek, 2013;Kanturski et al, 2014;Öztürk, 2017;Kök, 2019;Patlar et al, 2021) and 23 (55%) of these species were detected in the present study. Cinara curvipes, C. matsumurana, C. pectinatae and Mindarus kinseyi Voegtlin, 1995 were observed on the A. cilicica in the present study.…”

New additional aphid (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea: Aphididae) records for Samsun province

“…The studies on aphids in Turkey that started in early 19th century were collected in the checklist prepared by Görür, 2012. After this checklist, Şenol et al (2014, 2015a, 2015b, Görür et al ( , 2020, Özdemir and Barjadze (2015), Akyürek et al (2019), Kök and Kasap (2019), Özdemir (2020), Blackman and Eastop (2021), Kök and Özdemir (2021), Patlar et al (2021) have added significant contributions to the the aphid fauna of Turkey. With these contributions, Turkey aphid fauna reached to nearly 605 species.…”
