Bartın İli Coccinellidae (Insecta: Coleoptera) Türleri

Biyolojik mücadelede yararlanılan önemli insektivor gruplarından biri uğur böcekleri olarak bilinen Coccinellidae familyasından yırtıcı böceklerdir. Bartın ilinde daha önce Coccinellidae familyasına ait türlerin belirlenmesine yönelik kapsamlı bir araştırma bulunmamaktadır. Bu nedenle Coccinellidae türlerini tespit ve teşhis etmek amacıyla 2014-2015 yılları arasında bu çalışma yapılmıştır. Örnekler atrap kullanma ve elle toplama yöntemleriyle toplanmış; preparasyonu ve teşhisleri yapılmıştır. Batı Karadeniz Bölgesi'nde bir şehir olan Bartın’da Coccinellidae familyasına ait 14 tür saptanmıştır. En yüksek yoğunluk ve en geniş dağılım alanına sahip olan türler; Coccinella septempunctata (L.), Harmonia axyridis  (Pallas)’dır. En nadir bulunan türler Scymnus quadriguttatus (Capra), Halyzia sedecimguttata (Linnaeus), Oenopia conglobata (Linnaeus), Propylea quatuordecimpunctata (Linnaeus) ve Adalia decempunctata (Linnaeus) idi. Buna ek olarak, Kumluca'da Coccinella septempunctata (L.) parazitoidi olan Dinocampus coccinellae (Schrank, 1802) (Hymenoptera; Braconidae: Euphorinae) tespit edilmiştir. Kaynaklar, Scymnus quadriguttatus'ların yalnızca Batı Karadeniz Bölgesi'ndeki Kastamonu'da bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Ancak, Adalia fasciatopunctata revelieri'nin (Mulsant, 1866) ve Adalia decempunctata'nın (Linnaeus, 1758) Batı Karadeniz'de bulunduğuna dair kayıt bulunmamaktadır

Lepidoptera fauna in Bartin province, in western black sea region of Turkey

This research was performed in the field and laboratory between the years 2007 and 2008 with the aim of identifying species of the order Lepidoptera in Bartin region. The butterfly species that were existing in Bartin centrum, Amasra, Ulus, Kurucasile and in nearby regions like Inkum, Mugada, Kumluca, Kozcagiz, Cakraz etc and plus in the campus of Bartin Faculty of Forestry were brought to the laboratory after having been obtained by various methods such as butterfly net, light traps and pheromones traps. Those species having been examined under a lup and microscope were identified and protected in the laboratory. In the end of the study, the data obtained were 90 species from 21 families of Lepidoptera class. Among these species 15 have been mostly observed in agricultural areas. The samples mostly identified were Lycaenidae, Noctuidae, Nymphalidae and Satyridae

Insect Species Damage on Ornamental Plants and Saplings of Bartin Province and Its Vicinity in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey

Abstract: The objectives of this study were to identify harmful insect species, understand their biology, assess their damage potential and target plants and define distribution areas. There are a lot of native or cultured ornamental plants in Bartın and its surrounding (Çaycuma, Zonguldak, Karabük, Mengen, Devrek). These plants are herbaceous and woody species. Specimens were collected from various cultured and non-cultured plants. A total of 34 species belonging to 20 families of 5 orders were identified. The order Hemiptera was represented by the highest number of species (19 species), followed by Coleoptera (8), Lepidoptera (4), Orthoptera (2), and Dermaptera (1). Insect samples were collected from plants by net traps, special insect aspirators, and various insect traps. The identified species have been stored in the collection room of the Forest Entomology and Protection Unit, Bartın Forestry Faculty, Zonguldak Karaelmas University (Z.K.U.), Turkey. This is the first detailed study about insect species causing damage on ornamental plants and saplings of Bartin province and its vicinity, although similar studies of different regions exist. This research makes a very important contribution to the insect fauna of Bartin, its environs and Turkey. Twenty four of the identified species were new for BartınInt. J. Mol. Sci. 2008, 9 52
