Item Acaricidal efficacy of Origanum onites L. essential oil against Rhipicephalus turanicus (Ixodidae)(Springer, 2008-07) Kürkçüoğlu, Mine; Kırımer, Neşe; Başer, Kemal Hüsnü Can; Coşkun, Şevki Ziya; Girişgin, Oya; Malyer, Hulusi; Girişgin, Ahmet Onur; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/Parazitoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Biyoloji Bölümü.; 0000-0002-0020-2708; 0000-0001-9896-1093; B-5286-2017; 25627486300; 57221061095; 6602736554; 16030783600Essential oils that were extracted by steam distillation from Origanum onites L. from northwest Turkey were analyzed using an Agilent GC-MSD system. Carvacrol was the major component (64.3%) of the oil. Both pure commercial carvacrol and essential oil at concentrations of 1.5%, 3.2%, 6.25%, 12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 100% (v/v) were tested for their effects against engorging Rhipicephalus turanicus, which were collected from cattle breeding in the region. Pure carvacrol killed all the ticks following 6 h of exposure, while 25% and higher concentrations of the oil were completely effective in killing the ticks by the 24th-hour post-treatment (p < 0.05). The concentrations of 6.25% and 12.5% killed all the ticks by day 2. Lethal concentrations for 50% (LC(50)) and 90% (LC(90)) of 2.34% and 7.12%, respectively, were detected 24 h post-treatment. These findings indicate that the essential oil of O. onites L. has potential to be utilized at reasonable concentrations to control tick infestations.Item An aerobiological study on pollen grains in the atmosphere of North-West Turkey(Springer, 2009-11) Çelenk, Sevcan; Canıtez, Yakup; Bıçakçı, Adem; Sapan, Nihat; Malyer, Hulusi; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Biyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Çocuk Alerjisi Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-4925-8902; 0000-0002-6333-3123; K-2981-2012; O-1244-2018; 24170598000; 8988954700; 6701674542; 6602156485; 6602736554A continuous aerobiological survey of the atmosphere of Bursa was carried out from 1st January 2003 to 31st December 2004 by means of the volumetric method using a Lanzoni trap. During 2 years, a total of 57,124 pollen grains/m(3), which belonged to 66 taxa and 869 unidentified pollen grains, were recorded. In the region investigated, Pinus sp., Olea sp., Platanus sp., Cupressaceae/Taxaceae, Quercus sp., Poaceae, Moraceae, Urticaceae, and Castanea sp. were responsible for the greatest amounts of pollen. During the study period, the pollen concentration reached the highest level in May. A correlation analyses was made between the daily fluctuations of the main pollen types and meteorological parameters.Item Aeropalynological spectrum of Hatay, Turkey, the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea(Springer, 2018-12) İlçim, Ahmet; Tosunoǧlu, Aycan; Malyer, Hulusi; Bıçakçı, Adem; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Biyoloji Bölümü; 0000-0002-6333-3123; O-1244-2018; 35235434000; 6602736554; 6701674542An aeropalynological study during the years 2014-2015 was performed in Hatay, which is a unique sociocultural and phytogeographical area located on the border of Turkey and Syria on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. The sampling was performed by a Hirst-type volumetric sampler (Lanzoni VPPS 2000), and pollen grains of 54 taxa were identified, of which 83.21% of the annual sum belonged to woody taxa. The highest pollen concentration was recorded in February, of which a large amount came from the Cupressaceae/Taxaceae families. The diversity of the pollen reflected the vegetation of the area and plantations of the city center, but pollen grains from Euro-Siberian elements specific to Mount Amanos could not be recorded. Pollen types found at more than 3% of the annual pollen index and considered dominant pollen types were as follows: Cupressaceae/Taxaceae (50.86%), Olea europaea (12.67%), Moraceae (7.20%), Poaceae (5.99%), Quercus (5.35%), Urticaceae (3.79%) and Pinus (3.70%); almost all dominant pollen types in the city atmosphere were previously stated to be allergic. The main pollen season starting dates of common pollen types found were one or two weeks earlier than those of the surroundings. Many statistically significant correlations were found between daily pollen concentrations and daily meteorological parameters, e.g., Cupressaceae/Taxaceae Poaceae and Urticaceae pollen correlated negatively with mean temperature in both years, and in the hindermost two families daily pollen amounts significantly correlated with wind speed in the second year. Daily Olea europaea pollen concentration showed a significant negative correlation with the amount of total daily rainfall in the second year.Item Airborne fungal spores of north-west Anatolia(Bangladesh Botanical Society, 2016-09) Saatçioğlu, Gülşah; Tosunoğlu, Aycan; Malyer, Hulusi; Bıçakcı, Adem; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Biyoloji Bölümü.; 0000-0002-6283-4540; O-1244-2018Fungal spores of north-west Anatolia, Gemlik captured using Durham samplers were investigated.
