“…Current and future species distribution predictions were conducted via the raster [50] and sdm [51] packages in the R environment [52] for the 14 species of Acrididae with pest potential in Anatolia. The species' occurrence data (Table S1) were gathered from various sources [13,[19][20][21][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67], with the majority of localities coming from samples preserved in the author's personal collection at AUZM (Akdeniz University Zoology Museum, Antalya, Turkey) and MEVBIL (Molecular Evolution and Biogeography Lab.) at Akdeniz University.…”

“…This study was planned in three successive modules, with the first aimed at providing an updated checklist for Anatolian short-horned grasshoppers. Previous checklists, mainly those presented in [13,20,21,31], as well as recent ones [22,23], were considered as a starting point. Species/subspecies from these publications were adopted to establish new lists, and the taxa were cross-checked against Orthoptera Species File 2 (OSF2) [48] for nomenclatural changes and taxonomic clarification.…”

“…Weidner [20] specifically reviewed Caelifera from Turkey and listed 187 species (206 species/subspecies); soon after, this number increased to 229 as per the study by Demirsoy [21]. Currently, the number of taxa (species/subspecies) belonging to Caelifera in Turkey run into 300 species (244 according to Çıplak et al [22] and 288 according to Ünal [23]). Although there are taxonomical uncertainties for some taxa, the current picture of Anatolian short-horned grasshopper fauna is more or less clear and allows us to draw general conclusions about their ecology, biogeography, evolution, and pest potential.…”

“…Third, several orthopteran lineages possess imprints of the tempestuously dynamic geographic history of Anatolia in their phylogeny. Connected to this radiation history, Anatolia harbours a considerable number of tribal, generic, or species taxa that are endemic or predominantly Anatolian in distribution [21,[25][26][27][28][29]. Thus, studies on the biophylogeography of Anatolian Orthoptera provide a multidimensional perspective, extending from taxonomy to evolution and ecology.…”

Biogeographically, Anatolia harbours a rich diversity of short-horned grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Caelifera). The number of species recorded from Anatolia so far stands at 300. They inhabit diverse habitats ranging from arid Eremial to Euro-Siberian-like montane meadows, aligning with the topographical and climatological heterogeneity of Anatolia. Alongside some swarming species, the pest potential of several pullulating species needs attention. This is especially important concerning global warming, a scenario expected to be more severe in the Northern Mediterranean Basin in general and Anatolia specifically. A faunal list of biogeographic Anatolia, the area extending from the Aegean Sea in the west to the intermountain basin of the Caucasus in the northeast, the lowlands of Lake Urmia in the east, and Mesopotamia in the southeast, was developed. The recorded species were classified according to the phytogeographical provinces of Anatolia. Distributions of the species with the potential for pullulating were modelled using ecological-niche-modelling approaches for the present and future. The results have the potential to lead to the development of a concept that merges biogeography and the pest potential of certain Anatolian grasshopper species. Our results reveal the following: (i) Acrididae and Pamphagidae are the most diverse families represented in Anatolia; (ii) roughly 40% of Caelifera and 71% of Pamphagidae are endemics, suggesting Anatolia is a biodiversity hotspot; (iii) according to Caelifera diversity, the phytogeographical provinces of Anatolia follow an order of Irano-Anatolia, Euro-Siberia, Mediterranean, and Mesopotamia; and (iv) based on ecological modelling and personal observations, Dociostaurus maroccanus, Locusta migratoria, Calliptamus italicus, Heteracris pterostichus, Notostaurus anatolicus, Oedipoda miniata, and O. schochii should be monitored regarding their pest potential.

“…The current study aimed to determine the benthic macroinvertebrate fauna of the Güzeldere Stream and Waterfall. In the area, there have been no studies about benthic macroinvertebrate fauna, although there are a few faunistic studies about the insect fauna in the area [18][19][20].…”

In this paper, the benthic macroinvertebrate fauna of the Güzeldere Stream and Waterfall were investigated. Samples were collected in October 2020 at 3 stations. A total of 41 taxa including Gastropoda, Oligochaeta (9 species), Ephemeroptera (7 species), Odonata, Coleoptera, Chironomidae (15 species), Simuliidae, Blephariceridae (2 species), Plecoptera (3 species), and Trichoptera (1 species) were identified in the area. The dominant taxon was Chironomidae at all three stations followed by Oligochaeta and Ephemeroptera, respectively. The second station had the highest individual numbers (195) and the highest species diversity (32). All of the identified taxa were the first records for the study area because there have been no studies conducted for the determination of the Güzeldere Stream and Waterfall.
