Türkiye’deki Bazı Akreplere ait Kromozomal Veri Kayıtları

Bu çalışmada, Niğde’de dağılım gösteren Buthidae familyasından Mesobuthus eupeus ve Mesobutus gibbosus ile Euscorpiidae familyasından Euscorpius (Euscorpius) aladaglarensis türlerinin karyolojik özellikleri incelenmiştir. Yapılan karyolojik çalışmalara göre Mesobuthus eupeus, Mesobuthus gibbosus ve Euscorpius aladaglarensis türlerine ait diploid kromozom sayıları sırasıyla 2n=20; 2n=28 ve 2n= 88 olarak belirlenmiştir. İki buthid türü holosentrik kromozomlara sahip iken, euscorpiid türü monosentrik kromozomlara sahiptir. E. aladaglarensis türüne ait bir erkekte birinci mayoz bölünme sırasında multivalent gözlenmiştir.

Records of Chromosomal Data of Some Scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones) from Turkey

In this study, the karyological features of three species Mesobuthus eupeus and Mesobuthus gibbous was investigatedfrom the family Buthidae and Euscorpius (Euscorpius) aladaglarensis from the family Euscorpiidae, ranging in NiğdeProvince. As a result of karyological studies, it was determined that the diploid chromosome number of Mesobuthus eupeus,Mesobuthus gibbosus, and Euscorpius aladaglarensis as 2n= 20, 28 and 88 respectively. Two buthid species have holocentricchromosomes, while the euscorpiid species has monocentric chromosomes. During first meiotic division, we observedmultivalent in one male of E. aladaglarensis.
