“…In our analysis the rosae group, which consists of D. rosae , D. mayri , D. fructuum , and Diplolepis sp.1 all have distinct gall morphology, but lack genetic variation based on COI data. In the past D. fructuum has been considered a geographic race of D. mayri (Güçlü et al 2008), and our result once again casts doubt on the validity of these species. As D. rosae and D. mayri have been introduced to North America (Shorthouse 2001), we included samples of D. rosae from both its native and introduced range, which exhibited little genetic distance between populations.…”

“…Finally, there is a mixed leaf gall subclade including both Palearctic [ D. eglanteriae , D. japonica , D. nervosa (Curtis)] and Nearctic species [ D. bicolor (Harris), D. polita , D. bassetti , D. rosaefolii , D. fusiformans ] (Güçlü et al 2008; Shorthouse 2010). Almost all members of this group induce galls on leaf tissue, with the only exception being D. fusiformans , a species that forms small, fusiform galls on immature rose stems (Shorthouse 2010).…”

Rose gall wasps Diplolepis induce structurally distinct galls on wild roses, which provide gallers with food and shelter. These galls are attacked by a wide variety of micro-hymenopterans including another cynipid Periclistus that act as inquilines. Both Diplolepis and Periclistus are difficult to distinguish based on adult morphology, instead the structural appearance of galls is often used to distinguish species. Using the mitochondrial gene COI, we built phylogenies of both Diplolepis and Periclistus, while also estimating the ancestral host use of the inducers. Our phylogeny recovered the monophyly of Diplolepis, which have likely diverged from single-or multi-chambered leaf gallers to other plant organs. Periclistus exhibits a divide between the Palearctic and Nearctic clades, and ranges from specialists to generalists in terms of host specificity. The molecular results have largely supported the validity of species described in the literature, with notable exceptions in four species groups. While it is premature to enact any taxonomic changes without additional molecular markers, this incongruence between morphological and molecular data indicates these groups need taxonomic revision and gall morphology alone may be inadequate to delimit species.

“…Here, D. fructuum was observed to be very common on dog roses (Rosa spp., Rosa canina in this study), as mentioned by Güçlü et al (2008). During the study, a total of 5197 D. fructuum galls were collected, and 14,256 gall wasps were obtained from these samples; these numbers were limited to 95 galls and 117 gall wasps for D. rosae.…”

IntroductionGall wasps (Cynipidae), one of the successful groups in Hymenoptera, are known for their ability to induce complex plant galls (Csóka et al., 2005). The species Diplolepis fructuum (Rübsaamen, 1895) and Diplolepis rosae (Linnaeus, 1758) from this family induce galls on fruits and leaf buds of dog roses (Rosa spp.), and are known to be the two most important pests of dog roses in Turkey (Güçlü et al., 2008).Diplolepis galls, like other cynipid galls, support species-rich communities (Shorthouse, 1973;Stone et al., 2002;Csóka et al., 2005), and this feature makes them model systems for community ecology (Shorthouse, 1973). These communities include gall makers, phytophagous inquilines, primary and secondary parasitoids, and various predators (Stone et al., 2002;Csóka et al., 2005;László et al., 2014).Anatolia was an important refugium for rose gall wasps and their host plants, as it was for many other terrestrial animals and plants, during the glacial periods in the Pleistocene, along with some of the southern parts of Europe (southern Iberian Peninsula, Italy, and the Balkans) and the Caucasus (Stone et al., 2001;Rokas et al., 2003;Demirsoy, 2008). The results of some important studies on gall wasps have indicated that Anatolia has been the main speciation center of the gall wasps in the past (Stone et al., 2001;Rokas et al., 2003). In order to make a precise estimation of the communities associated with Diplolepis galls in the western Palearctic, it is necessary to perform a comprehensive investigation of the community composition in Anatolia. Therefore, the community compositions associated with D. fructuum and D. rosae were investigated in Tokat, Gümüşhane, Erzincan, and Sivas provinces, which are some of the most important distribution areas of Rosa species in Turkey. The aim of this research was to provide insight into the community components associated with Diplolepis species, as well as data for future studies on this subject in Turkey. Materials and methodsField studies were carried out in April, October, and November 2013, and March and October 2014 in Gümüşhane, Tokat, Sivas, and Erzincan provinces of Turkey. Gall samples of D. fructuum and D. rosae on Rosa canina L. host plants were collected (Table 1). The gall samples were stored in jars and they were kept outdoors to provide external environment conditions. After a 2-month period, the gall specimens were taken into the laboratory and kept at room temperature. During this period and afterwards, the emergence of adult wasps was checked 3

“…Galls used in this study occured in R. canina rosehips; only Diplolepis fructuum Rübsaamen (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) is known to infect rosehips in Turkey. As much as 90% of the rosehips in areas of Central Anatolia are infected by D. fructuum each year, leading to economic hardships in the rosehip industry (Güçlü et al, 2008).…”

Ant-diarrheal Plants of Central Anatolia: Do They Inhibit Diarrhea-causing Bacteria?

Turkey. Folk concepts and etiologies surrounding diarrhea were analyzed, as were salient plant-based remedies for diarrhea. Reviewing the literature, 91 plant species were described as anti-diarrheal in all of Turkey. In Central Anatolia, villagers described 35 species. For continued research via bactericidal and bacteriostatic bioassays, 15 plants were selected. Methanolic and aqueous extracts of medicinally used plant parts were evaluated for inhibitory properties against 10 diarrhea-causing bacteria in the first bioassay, and later 21 bacteria in a second assay utilizing spectrophotometry. The cytotoxic properties were also evaluated in an Alamar Blue Assay using HepG-2, PC-3, and SkMEL-5 human cell lines. While several extracts showed bactericidal and bacteriostatic properties, the methanolic extract of R. canina galls inhibited the most bacteria at the lowest concentrations. They were not cytotoxic. Thus, R. canina methanolic gall extracts were selected for bio-assay guided fractionation. Antibacterial viii activity was maintained in the third fraction which was composed of almost pure ellagic acid. The bioassay was repeated with standard ellagic acid, and the polyphenol retained potency in inhibiting multiple bacterial strains. Several other extracts showed promise for safe, effective anti-bacterial remedies for diarrhea.
