Plagiognathus ozgurkocaki sp. nov. is described based on a long series of specimens from Karaman, Turkey. The new species is remarkable among its congeners in Palearctic Region due to the combination of following characters: remarkably small size, dense and unicolorous pale yellow vestiture, darkened cuneus and yellow first antennal segment with a basal ring and pre-apical dots. The new species is associated with the endemic Phlomis leucophracta P.H.Davis & Hub.-Mor. (Lamiaceae) which makes it unique among all its congeners. Additionally, Plagiognathus bipunctatus albicans (Reuter, 1901) and Plagiognathus marivanensis Linnavuori, 2010 are recorded from Karaman, former constitutes a new record for Turkey.
The paper provides an updated checklist of the alien flora of Turkey with information on its structure. The alien flora of Turkey comprises 340 taxa, among which there are 321 angiosperms, 17 gymnosperms and two ferns. Of the total number of taxa, 228 (68%) are naturalized and 112 (32%) are casual. There are 275 neophytes (172 naturalized and 103 casual) and 61 archaeophytes (52 naturalized and 9 casual); four species could not be classified with respect to the residence time. In addition, 47 frequently planted taxa with a potential to escape are also listed. The richest families are Asteraceae (38 taxa), Poaceae (30), Fabaceae (23) and Solanaceae (22). As for the naturalized alien plants, the highest species richness is found in Asteraceae (31 taxa), Poaceae (22), Amaranthaceae (18) and Solanaceae (15). The majority of alien taxa are perennial (63.8% of the total number of taxa with this life history assigned, including those with multiple life histories), annuals contribute 33.8% and 2.4% are biennial aliens. Among perennials the most common life forms are phanerophytes, of which 20.3% are trees and 12.6% shrubs; woody vines, stem succulents, and aquatic plants are comparatively less represented. Most of the 340 alien taxa introduced to Turkey have their native ranges in Americas (44.7%) and Asia (27.6%). Of other regions, 9.1% originated in Africa, 4.4% in Eurasia, 3.8% in Australia and Oceania and 3.5% in the Mediterranean. The majority of taxa (71.9%) were introduced intentionally, whereas the remaining (28.1%) were introduced accidentally. Among the taxa introduced intentionally, the vast majority are ornamental plants (55.2%), 10.0% taxa were introduced for forestry and 6.7% as crops. Casual alien plants are most commonly found in urban and ruderal habitats (40.1%) where naturalized taxa are also often recorded (27.3%). Plants that occur as agricultural weeds are typically naturalized rather than casual (16.0% vs 7.1%, respectively). However, (semi)natural habitats in Turkey are often invaded by alien taxa, especially by those that are able to naturalize.
This is the 20. article in our series Trouble on the-Far-Right.
Just a few days ago during a parliamentary session, a Kurdish deputy was violently attacked and injured by members of the governing Justice and Development Party (AKP). As if to support Charles Tilly’s statement that ‘political violence occurs when actors have few opportunities, yet enough resources to mobilize for violence’1, many groups in Turkey are currently involved in a battle against Kurdish, Alevi or left Turkish citizens. The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in a political stalemate, uses military and police, but also the Nationalist Movement Party’s (MHP) youth organization Grey Wolves as well as Islamist militias like Esedullah Timleri (Arabic for: Lions of Allah) have increasingly resorted to violence as tool of action.
Political violence has been a central characteristic of the Turkish far right, which largely resembles street-based mobilization in Western Europe. Despite the common ultra-nationalist ideology, the Gülen Movement (GM) stands out. AKP’s former “soft-power instrument” now appears to be the only reasonable and non-violent player among all of these self-named animal groups. Since the power struggle escalated between Erdoğan and Fethullah Gülen in 2013, the GM has been seen as a victim of Erdoğan’s repressive measures, instead of making itself conspicuous by using violence. How can we explain this exception?
South-Western Anatolia (including provinces Antalya, Burdur, Isparta, Denizli, Aydın, Muğla) was surveyed for the fauna of Neuroptera during 2000–2002. In total, 2817 specimens representing 77 species, 43 genera and 10 families: Osmylidae (1 species), Chrysopidae (22 species), Hemerobiidae (11 species), Coniopterygidae (7 species), Dilaridae (1 species), Mantispidae (4 species), Berothidae (1 species), Nemopteridae (3 species), Myrmeleontidae (22 species), Ascalaphidae (6 species). The records of Nineta guadarramensis, Sympherobius (S.) elegans, Nimboa ressli, Dilar turcicus, Mantispa aphavexelte, Synclisis baetica, Solter ledereri, Myrmeleon inconspicuous, Megistopus flavicornis are their second records from Turkey. Fourty five species are recorded for the first time from the studied area. As a result of the present study the total number of species reported from Southwest Anatolia increased to 87.
We report chromosome counts for ten taxa of Vincetoxicum sensu stricto (s. str.) (Apocynaceae) from Turkey (of which two are endemic), including the first chromosome counts for V. canescens subsp. pedunculata, V. funebre, V. fuscatum subsp. boissieri, V. parviflorum and V. tmoleum. Two taxa of V. fuscatum proved to be tetraploid (2n=44) and the remaining eight taxa diploid (2n=22). Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on nrDNA (ITS) and cpDNA (trnT-trnL) (including 31 newly generated sequences) confirm the position of the Turkish Vincetoxicum in the Vincetoxicum s. str. clade. Vincetoxicum fuscatum, V. parviflorum, V. speciosum, as well as the Turkish endemic V. fuscatum subsp. boissieri, were clearly resolved as species-level clades, whereas the delimitation of the rest of the Turkish taxa was less clear based on molecular data.
Contributions to the knowledge of the mite genus Stigmaeus Koch, 1836 (Acari: Stigmaeidae) of Turkey
(2017)
Based on the mite specimens collected within the scope of a study on Erzincan (Turkey) mite biodiversity, two species of the genus Stigmaeus are described and illustrated here: S. bifurcus sp. nov. as new to science and S. miandoabiensis Bagheri & Zarei, 2012 as a new record for Turkey. Some morphological abnormalities in the new species are noted. The deutonymph of S. miandoabiensis is described for the first time in this study. Discovery of this stage from soil and litter under Pinus sylvestris in Turkey adds more data to our knowledge of the species.
Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit einer kontrastiven Forschung im Bereich der Politolinguistik, speziell für das Wortfeld 'Nation'. Im ersten Teil des Beitrags wird die Besonderheit der Diskursanalyse (DA) hervorgehoben, da diese als ein methodisches Fundament für die Analyse von politischer Sprache (hier: Antrittsreden) unumgänglich erscheint. Gleichzeitig ist sie (DA) auch eine Brücke, die Sprache und Politik verbinden kann. In diesem Beitrag soll der Fokus auf die Antrittsreden der deutschen Kanzler und türkischen Premiers gelegt werden, in diesen wiederum speziell auf das Wortfeld 'Nation'. Der diskursanalytische Ansatz soll hier beweisen, dass die Verwendung dieses Terms in Bezug auf beide Sprachen kontrastiv verstanden werden muss und in unterschiedliche Rhetoriken eingebaut wurde. Zusätzlich wird eine Bewegung des Wortfelds 'Nation' offensichtlich, da Neologismen eintreten und andere Terme im Wortfeld der türkischen und deutschen Sprache sich auflösen.
Inhalt dieser Arbeit ist die Entwicklung einer digitalen Korpusanwendung zur türkeitürkischen Dialektologie, in welcher der Inhalt des in Kapitel 3.1 beschriebenen Wörterbuchs komplett enthalten und umfangreich durchsuchbar sein soll. Da das Dialektwörterbuch insgesamt 126.468 Einträge enthält, ist eine manuelle Recherche darin äußerst zeitintensiv und unkomfortabel. Selbst die Suche innerhalb einer digitalen Version, die z. B. in einer Word-Datei gespeichert sein kann, ist nicht komfortabel möglich, sobald Optionen bzw. Einschränkungen getätigt werden sollen, wie z. B. die Beschränkung der Ergebnisse auf das Vorkommen in einer bestimmten Provinz. Daher ist es das Ziel der Entwicklung, den Anwendern folgende Suchmöglichkeiten zu bieten: Das Wörterbuch soll entweder komplett im Volltext durchsucht werden können, oder nur innerhalb des Lemmas1. Dabei soll jeweils die Angabe einer oder mehrerer Provinzen möglich sein, sodass die Suchergebnisse nur jene Einträge beinhalten, in denen Suchbegriff und Provinz in der gleichen Zeile enthalten sind. Die Treffer der Suche sollen farbig hervorgehoben sein, damit insbesondere bei großen Wörterbucheinträgen nicht manuell nach den darin enthaltenen Suchbegriffen gesucht werden muss, sondern diese dem Anwender direkt auffallen. Außerdem ist es wünschenswert, mittels Platzhaltern und sogenannten Coversymbolen nach Wortformen und phonetisch bedingten Allomorphen suchen zu können. Letzteres ist für Linguisten, die sich mit dem Türkischen beschäftigen, bei der Eingabe der Suchbegriffe äußerst praktisch, da das Türkische eine vokalharmonische Sprache ist, in der phonetisch bedingte Varianten üblicherweise durch die Schreibung mit Coversymbolen dargestellt werden: z. B. -lAr für die Pluralallomorphe -lar und -ler...
This paper discusses the implications of transnational media production and diasporic networks for the cultural politics of migrant minorities. How are fields of cultural politics transformed if Hirschmann’s famous options ‘exit’ and ‘voice’ are no longer constituting mutually exclusive responses to dissent within a nation-state, but modes of action that can combine and build upon each other in the context of migration and diasporic media activism? Two case studies are discussed in more detail, relating to Alevi amateur television production in Germany and to a Kurdish satellite television station that reaches out to a diaspora across Europe and the Middle East. Keywords: migrant media, transnationalism, Alevis, Kurds, Turkey, Germany
