Bolkar Dağları (Türkiye) Akreplerine Katkılar

Bolkar Dağları, Akdeniz ve İç Anadolu Bölgeleri arasında ve Niğde, Adana, Karaman, Konya ve Mersin il sınırları içinde yer alan Orta Toroslar’ın oluşturduğu dağ grubudur. 2010 yılı Temmuz-Eylül ayları arasında 31 farklı lokaliteden 151 akrep örneği toplanmıştır. Araziden elde edilen örneklerin değerlendirilmesi sonucu Euscorpiidae’ye ait 18 örneğin Euscorpius koci; Buthidae’den 88’i ergin olmak üzere 113 örneğin Aegaeobuthus gibbosus; Luridae’den 13 örneğin Protoiurus asiaticus ve Scorpionidae’den 7 örneğin Scorpio fuscus olduğu belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda, Bolkar Dağları’nda dağılım gösteren akrep türlerinin sistematikleri, morfolojik ve morfometrik özellikleri ile her türe ait biyo-ekolojik gözlemler hakkında bilgi verilmesi hedeflenmektedir.

Contributions to the Scorpions of the Bolkar Mountains (Turkey)

Bolkar Mountains that is mountain group located between Inner Anatolia and Mediterranean region in the city borders of Niğde, Adana, Karaman, Konya and Mersin Provinces. 151 scorpion samples collected from 31 different localities from July to September in 2010. As a result of the evaluation of samples of terrain, 18 Euscorpius koci samples from Euscorpiidae; 113 Aegaeobuthus gibbosus samples from Buthidae (88 adult); 13 Protoiurus asiaticus samples from Luridae and 7 Scorpio fuscus samples from Scorpionidae were determined. Finally, this study gave information about systematics, morphological characteristics and bioecological observation of scorpions distributed in Bolkar Mountains.
