    The first record of karyotypes in Leiurus abdullahbayrami and Compsobuthus matthiesseni (Scorpiones: Buthidae) from Turkey
    (UNIV ORADEA PUBL HOUSE) Stahlavsky, F; Koç, H; Yagmur, EA
    The karyotypes of Leiurus abdullahbayrami Yagmur, Koc & Kunt, 2009 and Compsobuthus matthiesseni (Birula, 1905) from Turkey are presented for the first time. Both analyzed species have achiasmatic meiosis and the same number of holocentric chromosomes (2n=22) gradually decreasing in size. During the first meiotic division we observed tetravalent in one male of L. abdullahbayrann and octovalent in one male of C. matthiesseni. These types of multivalents may increase genetic variability and indicate reciprocal translocations within these species.

    Genetic diversity within Scorpio maurus (Scorpiones: Scorpionidae) from Turkey
    (UNIV ORADEA PUBL HOUSE) Koç, H; Sipahi, H; Yagmur, EA
    In this study, DNA sequence diversity of the mitochondrial (mt) cytochrome oxidase 1 (CO1) gene was investigated in Scorpio maurus specimens from across southeastern Turkey. Nucleotide sequences included 508 conserved sites and 126 variable sites, and the mean nucleotide variation within species was 7.9%. Intraspecific pairwise divergences ranged from 0.5% to 10.7%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated high divergence among specimens. This study is the first mtDNA sequence analysis for Turkish scorpions.
