    A forensic entomological study in Uludag University campus, Bursa, Turkey
    (Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2019-04-15) Erdoğan, Ezgi Ecem; Çinkılıç, Nilüfer; Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi; Biyoloji Bölümü
    In this study, we investigated for the first time the succession of forensic entomofauna attracted to fresh calf meat tissue during the June to September 4 month period in 2018 in Bursa /Turkey. Calf muscular tissue was selected in order to perform a forensic entomological examination in a small wooded area in the Uludağ University Campus of Bursa province. The reason for this choice is that the deterioration in the decomposition stages compared to the internal organs and other tissues, the muscle tissue is less intensive and the exposure to bacterial fungi is less. In addition, we preferred calf muscle tissue due to its structural similarity to a human. During the examination period, we found several forensic insects, Dermestes undulatus, Halyomorpha halys, Oniscus asellus, Lucilia sericata, Calliphora vicina, Wohlfahrtia magnifica, Hermetia illucens, Blatta sp were attracted to the calf meat both in the underground and in air cages hanging on a tree. Drosophila sp. and Psychodinae sp. were recorded as an incidental species. This study indicates that in this region of Bursa, Diptera, Hemiptera, and Coleoptera are the most frequent insect orders useful for estimating forensic cases.

    Responses of epiphytic lichen diversity on Quercus frainetto to traffic density in the city of Bursa (Turkey)
    (Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2019-05-13) Güvenç, Şaban; Öztürk, Şule; Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi; Biyoloji Bölümü
    In this study, We investigated the differences in epiphytic lichen diversity, species richness and functional group classification on Quercus frainetto in areas near roads with low, intermediate and high traffic in Bursa City. A total of 40 epiphytic lichen species were found on Q. frainetto. Of these, 16 species were oligotrophic, 15 species were mesotrophic, and 9 were nitrophytic. The lichen diversity value and species richness decreased with increasing traffic density. The mesotrophic species were positively related to Ldv, and were not associated with traffic. The oligotrophic species were positively correlated with traffic, whereas the nitrophytic species were negatively associated with traffic. The eutrophication-tolerant species, such as Hyperphyscia adglutinata, Lecidella elaeochroma, Physcia adscendens and Xanthoria parietina, were abundant on oak trees in low and intermediate traffic areas near agricultural areas.
