Circum-Mediterranean phylogeography of a bat coupled with past environmental niche modeling: A new paradigm for the recolonization of Europe?
Bilgin, Rasit; Gurun, Kanat; Rebelo, Hugo; Puechmaille, Sebastien J.; Maraci, Oncu; Presetnik, Primoz; Karatas, Ahmet (ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2016)The isolation of populations in the Iberian, Italian and Balkan peninsulas during the ice ages define four main paradigms that explain much of the known distribution of intraspecific genetic diversity in Europe. In this ... -

The dorsal fur of the Greater Noctule, which also covers the underpart of the wing membrane, along with the forearm and ... -
An extremely low genetic divergence across the range of Euscorpius italicus (Scorpiones, Euscorphdae)
Fet, Victor; Gantenbein, Benjamin; Karatas, Aysegul; Karatas, Ahmet (AMER ARACHNOLOGICAL SOC, 2006)Little or no genetic divergence is detected using mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequence comparisons across the entire geographic range of the scorpion Euscorpius italicus (Herbst 1800) from Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Greece ... -
Food and feeding habits of some bats from Turkey
Whitaker, John O., Jr.; Karatas, Ahmet (MUSEUM & INST ZOOLOGY PAS-POLISH ACAD SCIENCES, 2009)Food habits data were obtained from 26 species of bats from Turkey. Barbastella barbastellus, Myotis capaccinu, M mystacinus Plecotus auritus, P austriacus, P kolombatovici, P macrobullaris, and Rhinolophus euryale were ... -

Karyotypes of Bats (Chiroptera: Rhinolophidae, Vespertilionidae) from Jordan
Karatas, Ahmet; Wedyan, Mohammed; Sozen, Mustafa; Shehab, Adwan; Amr, Zuhair (ARABIAN GULF UNIV, 2008)The karyotypes of four bat species of two families (Rhinolophidae and Vespertilionidae) were examined from Jordan. Bat specimens were captured by use of mist-nets and hand-nets from three localities in Jordan in June 2006. ... -
Karyotypes of seven rodents from Jordan (Mammalia : Rodentia)
Soezen, Mustafa; Karatas, Ahmet; Alsheyab, Fawzi; Shehab, Adwan; Amr, Zuhair (MAX KASPAREK VERLAG, 2008)We present here data on the karyotypes of seven species of rodents from Jordan. The karyotype of Acomys dimidiatus was found to be 2n= 38, NF =70; Acomys russatus russatus and A. r. lewisi 2n= 56, NF= 94; Apodemus flavicollis ... -
Karyotypes of two Iranian bat species, Myotis blythii and Miniopterus schreibersii (Chiroptera : Vespertilionidae, Miniopteridae)
Karatas, Ahmet; Charakheloo, Muhammed Mouradi; Kankilic, Teoman (TUBITAK SCIENTIFIC & TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL TURKEY, 2008)The karyotypes of 2 bat species from Iran were examined. The diploid number of chromosomes (2n) and the fundamental numbers of chromosomal arms (NFa) were determined to be 2n = 44 and NFa = 54 for Myotis blythii and 2n = ... -
Molecular ecology and phylogeography of the bent-wing bat complex (Miniopterus schreibersii) (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) in Asia Minor and adjacent regions
Furman, Andrzej; Coraman, Emrah; Bilgin, Rasit; Karatas, Ahmet (WILEY, 2009)In this study we investigate population genetic structure and phylogeography of the bent-wing bat complex (Miniopterus schreibersii) in Asia Minor and adjacent regions. PCR amplification and sequencing of the first ... -
On the karyology, morphology and biology of Chionomys gud (Satunin, 1909) (Mammalia: Rodentia) in Turkey
Sozen, Mustafa; Ozkurt, Sakir Onder; Karatas, Ahmet; Colak, Ercuement; Matur, Ferhat (UNIV ORADEA PUBL HOUSE, 2009)We examined the karyotype of Chionomys gud for the first time from Turkey, and found the values 2n=54, NF=58 and NFa=54. The X chromosome was found to be submetacentric and the Y chromosome acrocentric. Counts of embryos ... -
Optimization of ELISA and Immunoblot Methods for the Detection of IgG Antibodies Against Old World Hantaviruses in Wild Rodents
Polat, Ceylan; Karatas, Ahmet; Sozen, Mustafa; Matur, Ferhat; Abacioglu, Hakan; Oktem, Mehmet Ali (ANKARA MICROBIOLOGY SOC, 2016)Hantaviruses infect humans via inhalation of viral particles in infected rodents' secretions such as saliva, urine and faeces or via direct contact with infected rodents. The rodent species that are known as the carriers ... -
Phylogeographic analysis of Anatolian bats highlights the importance of the region for preserving the Chiropteran mitochondrial genetic diversity in the Western Palaearctic
Coraman, Emrah; Furman, Andrzej; Karatas, Ahmet; Bilgin, Rasit (SPRINGER, 2013)Identification of intraspecific conservation units and incorporating the distribution of genetic diversity into management plans are crucial requirements for assessing effective protection strategies. This study investigates ... -
Phylogeography of the greater horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum (Chiroptera: Rhinolophidae), in southeastern Europe and Anatolia, with a specific focus on whether the Sea of Marmara is a barrier to gene flow
Bilgin, Rasit; Coraman, Emrah; Karatas, Ahmet; Morales, Juan Carlos (POLISH ACAD SCIENCES, 2009)Population differentiation during the ice ages, followed by range expansions has significantly contributed to the geographic distribution patterns of the genetic diversity in Europe. In this regard, the Iberian, Italian, ... -
Regionally and climatically restricted patterns of distribution of genetic diversity in a migratory bat species, Miniopterus schreibersii (Chiroptera : Vespertilionidae)
