    Algae of Turkey from the Herbarium Forsskålii
    (Academic Journals Inc., 2008) Taşkin E.; Pedersen P.M.
    The naturalist, Pehr Forsskål collected samples (phanerogams and cryptogams) from Estac (France), Turkey, Egypt and Yemen between 1761-1763. The collected plants were published in Flora Aegyptiaco-Arabica in 1775 including a list of 16 algal species from Turkey. In the present work, algae of Turkey from the Herbarium Forsskålii were studied. Several herbarium sheets have been lost and therefore, we were unable to identify some of Forsskål's collections. The aim of this research was to identify some of the remaining species and to annotate with regard to taxonomy and nomenclature. © 2008 Academic Journals Inc.

    First report of the alien brown alga Botrytella parva (Takamatsu) H.-S. Kim (Chordariaceae, Phaeophyceae) from the eastern Mediterranean Sea
    (2012) Taşkin E.; Pedersen P.M.
    Botrytellaparva (Chordariaceae, Phaeophyceae) is reported for the first time from the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The species was collected from the Dardanelles (Sea of Marmara, Turkey) in the sublittoral zone. Data concerning its habitat, morphology and worldwide distribution are presented. The justification for transfer of Polytretus reinboldii to Botrytella is discussed, and we found morphological arguments to resurrect the generic name Polytretus. A key to the species of Botrytella and Polytretus is provided.
