Şahin, Mehmet Kürşat; Kurnaz, Muammer
The genus Lacerta, particularly the green lizard (Lacerta viridis), is a significant lizard group in the Western Palearctic. This study aims to predict its geographic range in Northern Türkiye and identify key habitat types based on the CORINE Land Cover classification. Occurrence records, gathered from published sources and on-site investigations, were analyzed using a 30 arc-second resolution layer and bioclimatic parameters from WorldClim v.2.1. The distribution was modeled in kuenm, and habitat use was assessed with generalized linear models. Results show that the green lizard’s occurrence is strongly influenced by precipitation dynamics and it prefers areas with little to no shade. These findings highlight the importance of precipitation in determining the species’ distribution and suggest further research on local dynamics for effective conservation.

Turkism and Populism movements have started to gain popularity through Turkish immigrants. In his follow-up, he participated in the II through the magazines Türk Yurdu and Halka Doğru. The basis for the intellectuals of the constitutional period to turn to the people, to get to know the people, to educate the people and to learn hars from the people was created with the conceptualization of Ziya Gökalp. Turkish intellectuals aimed to realize these ideals by turning to Anatolia. These goals are 21.century.and it has been continued. In this direction, idealistic intellectual figures have started to come to life in literary texts since the National literature movement. The planned study will focus on the fate of the intellectuals in the first period novels on the material and spiritual planes. By identifying the conflicts that intellectuals experienced with the impressions they put forward by staying foreign and foreign to Anatolia before going to Anatolia, the opportunities of literary sociology will be utilized. According to a chronological plane, text based on Ahmet Mithat Efendi's Bakhtiarlik (1885), Mizanci Murat's Turfanda or Turfa (1890), Abubekir Hazim Tepeyran's Kucuk Pasha (1910), Halide Edip Adivar's Shoot Kahpeye (1923), Resat Nuri Güntekin's Green Night (1928) and Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoglu's Yaban(1932) novels analysis will be performed. Scientific data will be presented to the literature through the planned analysis of literary texts created during the period from the Tanzimat years to the beginning of the National Struggle and the establishment stages of the Republican regime, which are the result of victories in its follow-up.

Kurnaz, Muammer
Ecological niche modeling predicts the potential distribution areas of species and contributes to measuring the niche differentiation among taxa. Montivipera albizona and M. bulgardaghica are two mountain viper taxa distributed in Anatolia. In the present study, the habitat suitability of M. albizona and M. bulgardaghica was assessed, and ecological niche ranges between these taxa were compared. According to species distribution models, while the distribution area of M. albizona covers a relatively large region in central Anatolia, M. bulgardaghica has a relatively narrow distribution over the eastern Taurus mountains. The species distributional results showed that the annual temperature range and mean temperature of the coldest quarter were the highest contributing variables, with 62.5% for M. albizona and 67.9% for M. bulgardaghica. Montiverpa albizona prefers 13 different habitat types, while M. bulgardaghica prefers 6 different habitat types in their distribution areas. Niche differentiation analysis revealed that there was no overlap between the two taxa in terms of their ecological niches.

Altuntaş, Ümit; Güzel, İsmail; Özçelik, Beraat
This study aimed to evaluate the biochemical composition and biological activity of propolis samples from different regions of Türkiye to characterize and classify 24 Anatolian propolis samples according to their geographical origin. Chemometric techniques, namely, principal component analysis (PCA) and a hierarchical clustering algorithm (HCA), were applied for the first time to all data, including antioxidant capacity, individual phenolic constituents, and the antimicrobial activity of propolis to reveal the possible clustering of Anatolian propolis samples according to their geographical origin. As a result, the total phenolic content (TPC) of the propolis samples varied from 16.73 to 125.83 mg gallic acid equivalent per gram (GAE/g) sample, while the number of total flavonoids varied from 57.98 to 327.38 mg quercetin equivalent per gram (QE/g) sample. The identified constituents of propolis were phenolic/aromatic acids (chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and trans-cinnamic acid), phenolic aldehyde (vanillin), and flavonoids (pinocembrin, kaempferol, pinobanksin, and apigenin). This study has shown that the application of the PCA chemometric method to the biochemical composition and biological activity of propolis allows for the successful clustering of Anatolian propolis samples from different regions of Türkiye, except for samples from the Black Sea region.

Zabci, Cengiz; Sançar, Taylan; Tikhomirov, Dmitry; Ivy-ochs, Susan; Vockenhuber, Christof; Friedrich, Anke M.; Yazici, Muge; Akçar, Naki
The active tectonics of Anatolia is mostly characterized by its westward motion with respect to Eurasia between the Hellenic subduction in the west and Arabia-Eurasia continental collision in the east. Although most of the deformation is suggested to be confined along Anatolias boundary elements, viz. the North and East Anatolian shear zones, recent studies indicate a higher magnitude of internal strain accumulation, especially along the parallel/subparallel strike-slip faults of its central province. We present the first morphochronology-based slip rate estimate for one of these strike-slip structures, the Ovacik Fault, by using cosmogenic 36Cl dating of offset fluvial deposits. At the Kcseler Site (39.3643 degrees N, 39.1688 degrees E), two faulted risers, bounding the alluvial fan with its subplanar surface (NF1/NF1') and the inset terrace tread (NF1/T2), are offset 19-24 and 15-22 m, respectively. The scattered surface ages and variability of 36Cl concentrations in depth profiles suggest strong evidence for inheritance in alluvial fan and terrace deposits; thus, we used modelled depth-profile ages for both surfaces. The modelled ages 8-10 ka for NF1 and 6-8 ka for T2 yield slip-rate estimates 2.4 +0.5/-0.4 mm/a and 2.8 +0.7/-0.7 mm/a, respectively, for the upper-tread reconstruction of the NF1/NF1'and the lower-tread reconstruction of the NF1/T2. Our results together with previous slip-rate estimates for other structures show a significant internal deformation for Anatolia, especially along its subparallel strike-slip faults. These secondary faults slice Anatolia into several pieces giving rise to the formation of the Malatya-Erzincan, Cappadocian, and Central Anatolian slices, where the geometry is strongly controlled by the distribution of the Tethyan accretionary complexes.

Kurnaz, Muammer; Şahin, Mehmet Kürşat; Eroğlu, Ali İhsan
Darevskia is a particularly species-rich radiation of Palearctic rock lizards from the Caucasus region. Thanks to intense systematic and taxonomic research, the knowledge of species-level diversity within this genus has increased over the last quarter century. Here, we described a new species, Darevskia salihae sp. nov. from northeastern Turkey. The new taxon is differentiated from other nearby taxon by the low number of dorsal scales in the middle of the body, the shorter body length, and the absence of blue dots both on the lateral region above the forelimbs and on the margin of the ventral plates. In addition to their morphological differences, the new taxon is phylogenetically different from close groups. It is located in a separate subclade from the rudis-valentini-portschinskii subclade. This distinction is supported by both a high bootstrap value (100) and a high posterior probability value (1.00). These two subclades are separated from each other by a genetic distance of almost 4%. This separation is supported not only genetically and morphologically, but also geographically. Since the habitat of the new taxon is limited to a high mountain and a narrow valley, it does not provide an opportunity for a different Darevskia species to shelter because it creates geographical isolation. However, Darevskia parvula that live closest to the habitat of the new taxon live only at the habitat boundaries and do not enter areas where the new taxon is found. Therefore, it might be possible that while it was separated from the rudis-valentini-portschinskii group during the evolutionary transformation, it remained as a refuge and relict in a narrow area as a result of the collapse of the valleys and the partial uplift of the Kaçkar Mountains.

Maden, Nafiz; Yıldız, Burak
Seydi Ali Reis first mentioned the declination angle in his book titled Kitab-ı Muhit in 1554. Kitab-ı Cihannüma (1654), Füyuzat-i Mıknatisiye (1731), and Mârifetname (1757) gave the magnetic declination angle values in Anatolia. We have compiled magnetic declination data from 1500 to the present day in Anatolia and Istanbul. The plot of the magnetic declination angle was drawn for the first time using historical data between 1500 and 1947 for Istanbul. Three new magnetic declination maps for the periods of 1909–1910, 1970 and 2009 were produced for Turkey. The annual change map based on the data of 1970 and 2009 is also given for whole Turkey. The agonic line extending in NW-SE direction between Sinop and Antep divides Anatolia into two regions in 1910. The mean declination values obtained from qibla direction measurements made by the Presidency of Religious Affairs in all mosques give 3.11° E for 1970 and 4.74° E for 2009 in Turkey.
- MakaleYalnız künye2022Predicted current and future distribution of the fire salamander, Salamandra infraimmaculata in Turkey
Kurnaz, Muammer
Although the fire salamander, Salamandra infraimmaculata, is relatively distributed in a broad area in the Middle East, it lives in a narrow area in southeast and south Anatolia in Turkey. The habitats of the species have been downgraded day by day, and its IUCN category is listed as "NT, and the population trend is decreasing. Within the scope of this study, a model was created with the existing locality records of the species using ecological niche modeling. As a result of this model, the current and future distribution of the species were compared. The results obtained from the analyzes made within the scope of this study showed that the current probable distribution of the species coincides with the existing locality records. However, for possible climate change scenarios, the possible future distribution of the species will be thought to be negatively affected by the increase in the greenhouse gas effect, the change in the amount of carbon dioxide, and the increase of many harmful gas concentrations in the atmosphere. If all four climate scenarios proposed in this study in the future occur sequentially, the species will have to limit or change its range, and even become will be extinct in some areas. Species conservation action plans should be initiated, and local governments should take necessary measures to prevent this from happening.

Mehmet Orçun Karacan
Bu çalışmanın temel amacı frengi ve cüzzamın 19. yüzyılda Anadolu'daki menfi etkilerini tarih biliminin sınırları çerçevesinde incelemektir. Özellikle frenginin Anadolu'da sebep olduğu tahribatın ne dereceye ulaştığını araştırmak en önemli konulardan biridir. Ayrıca hem cüzzam hem de frenginin insanların hayatlarına olan etkisi de araştırmanın başlıca konuları arasındadır. Bu husus temelde toplumdan dışlanma veya tecrit edilme gibi konuların ele alınması şeklinde ortaya çıkmıştır. Özellikle cüzzama müptela olan hastaların karşılaştığı tecrit edilme ve toplumdan dışlanma hakkında somut bilgi edinmek daha kolay olmaktadır. Frengi özelinde ise hem hastalığa yakalanma biçimi hem de hastalığı bulaştıranlardan biri olmak tecrit veya toplumdan dışlanmada başlıca sebeptir. Mesela hastalığı genelevden ya da bir alüfteden bulaşma yolu ile almış olan kişinin toplumdan dışlanması mümkündür. Aynı şekilde alüftelerinde hastalığı bulaştıranlar olarak tecrit ve sürgüne yollanmaları ihtimal dahilindendir. Diğer taraftan bu çalışmada sözü edilen bu iki hastalığa karşı Osmanlı Devleti'nin aldığı tedbirler ve tedbir almayı güçleştiren hususlar da araştırılmıştır. Mezkur hastalıklara karşı alınan tedbirlerin benzerlikleri ve farklılıkları üzerinden Osmanlı sağlık teşkilatının tedbir alma ve organize olmadaki durumu da ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır.
- MakaleYayıncıda açık erişim2021Scopus SJRQ3A contribution to the biogeography and taxonomy of two anatolian mountain brook newts, neurergus barani and n. Strauchii (amphibia: Salamandridae) using ecological niche modeling
Kurnaz, Muammer; Şahin, Mehmet Kürşat
The Anatolian newt, Neurergus strauchii, is an endemic Anatolian species. Until recently, N. strauchii was represented by three subspecies. It has been discussed within a recent phylogenetic study in which the subspecies N. s. barani is recommended to be evaluated as a cryptic but distinct species. To address this subject, we aimed to discuss the niche differentiation between N. barani and N. strauchii using geographical and bioclimatic aspects. All georeferenced data of N. barani and N. strauchii were used to estimate the potential distributions of these species in the Anatolian Peninsula. To evaluate their ecological niche differentiation, point-based analysis and niche similarity tests were done. Ecological niche modeling outcomes demonstrated a significant niche differentiation between N. barani and N. strauchii. Moreover, since these species are distributed in the east and west of the Euphrates Basin, this river might be considered as a geographic barrier that can cause isolation for these species. Lastly, we demonstrated their potential distributions for future with several scenarios. Our findings strengthened the results of the recent phylogenetic study and indicated the necessity of handling “barani” taxa at the species level. Moreover, these results contribute, as a piece of evidence, to the biodiversity of Anatolia where another endemic species lives.

Kurnaz, Muammer; Yousefkhani, Seyyed Saeed Hosseinian
The Anatolian Peninsula is very richly biodiverse in terms of its location and with new studies, this wealth has gradually increased as new taxa of Anatolian origin are added to the literature. Ablepharusbudaki and A. anatolicus, formerly considered to be subspecies of A. kitaibelli and A. budakirespectively, are spread throughout the southern part of Anatolia. Although recent phylogenetic andmorphological studies revealed their species status, no information was given about the relation of thespecies with each other in terms of ecological niche. In this study, our primary goal was to discoverwhether the niches of these two taxa were different from each other. Considering the analyses madewithin the scope of this study, it has been revealed that both A. anatolicus and A. budaki are differentfrom each other in terms of their ecological niche. However, since these two taxa have very smallcontact regions, an example of parapatric speciation, and their distribution areas cover almostcompletely different geographies, we can say that they have different ecological niche requirements,according to the results of this study. As a result, this study supported the findings in literature and theidea that these taxa are two different species
