Öğe Additional records of parasitic Camponotus Mayr (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) species from Turkey with queen description of Camponotus ruseni Karaman, 2012(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Karaman, Celal; Kiran, KadriThe genus Camponotus Mayr is the second speciose ant genus after Pheidole Westwood and includes two parasitic species, Camponotus ruseni Karaman and C. universitatis Forel which are known only from Turkey to co-exist. We present new records with some biological notes of this parasitic species from Turkey and describe the hitherto unknown queen of C. ruseni. Also, the parasitism status of C. ruseni is discussed.Öğe Additions to the Ant Fauna of Turkey (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)(Publications Scientifiques Du Museum, Paris, 2020) Kiran, Kadri; Karaman, CelalBased on material collected between the years 1988-2015 numerous new province and country records of ants from Turkey are given. A total of 143 ant species were listed of which six: Cataglyphis machmal Radchenko & Arakelian, 1991, Lasius illyricus Zimmerman, 1935, Monomorium barbatulum Mayr, 1877, Myrmica caucasicola Arnol'di, 1934, Temnothorax clypeatus (Mayr, 1853) and Temnothorax rogeri Emery, 1869 are new for Turkish ant fauna. Based on most recent taxonomic data and studies on distributional patterns we also excluded from Turkish ant fauna fifteen species: Bothriomyrmex corsicus Santschi, 1923, Anoplolepis gracilipes (F. Smith, 1857), Cataglyphis cursor (Fonscolombe, 1846), C. rubra (Forel, 1903), Lasius paralienus Seifert, 1992, Plagiolepis pallescens maura Santschi, 1920, Proformica nasuta (Nylander, 1856), Aphaenogaster semipolita (Nylander, 1856), A. testaceopilosa (Lucas, 1849), Crematogaster auberti Emery, 1869, C. scutellaris (Oliver, 1792), Solenopsis geminata (Fabricius, 1804), Temnothorax nylanderi (Forster, 1850), T. crassispinus (Karavaiev, 1926) and Tetramorium semilaeve Andre, 1883. Taxonomic position and new species names which were given in publications following the first Turkish checklist in 2012 are also discussed. The available faunal data showed that the ant fauna of Turkey is represented currently with 362 taxa.Öğe Ant fauna (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Central Anatolian Region of Turkey(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2021) Kiran, Kadri; Karaman, CelalThe Central Anatolian part of Turkey was investigated with the aim of determining its Formicidae fauna. Specimens were collected by hand sampling and pitfall traps in 24 habitats in 383 different localities in Central Anatolia Region during 2001-2016. As a result, 137 species belonging to 34 genera were determined. Messor incorruptus Kuznetsov-Ugamsky, 1929 and Ponera testacea Emery, 1895 are new records for Turkish ant fauna. We excluded four species, Camponotus sylvaticus (Oliver, 1792), Messor meridionalis (Andre, 1883), Proformica striaticeps (Forel, 1911) and Tapinoma nigerrimum (Nylander, 1856), from Turkish ant fauna due to recent taxonomic data and distribution pattern. With these records and exclusions ant fauna of Turkey is updated from 377 to 375.Öğe Ants of the genus Camponotus Mayr, 1861 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in the Kaz Mountains, Turkey, with descriptions of sexuals of Camponotus candiotes Emery, 1894 and Camponotus ionius Emery, 1920(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2011) Karaman, Celal; Aktac, Nihat; Kiran, KadriThe Camponotus fauna of the Kaz Mountains was examined horizontally and vertically, from 175 to 1600 m a.s.l. Materials were collected from 20 different localities and 11 different habitats between 2001 and 2003. In all, 14 species belonging to 3 subgenera (Colobopsis Mayr, Myrmentoma Ford, and Tanaemyrmex Ashmead) were found. The hitherto unknown sexuals of C. candiotes Emery and C. ionius Emery are described for the first time.Öğe Ants of the genus CamponotusMayr, 1861 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in the Kaz Mountains, Turkey, with descriptions of sexuals of Camponotus candiotes Emery, 1894 and Camponotus ionius Emery, 1920(2011) Kıran, Kadri; Karaman, Celal; Aktaç, NihatBu çalışmada, Kaz Dağları Camponotus faunası 175-1600 m.’ler arasında horizontal ve vertikal olarak çalışılmıştır. 2001-2003 yıllarında, 20 farklı lokalite ve 11 farklı habitattan materyal toplanmıştır. 3 altcinse (Colobopsis Mayr, Myrmentoma Forel, Tanaemyrmex Ashmead) ait 14 tür bulunmuştur. C. candiotes Emery ve C. ionius Emery’un şimdiye kadar bilinmeyen eşey bireyleri ilk defa tanımlanmıştır.Öğe Camponotus mayr, 1861 (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Formicinae) cinsi Türkiye revizyonu(Trakya Üniversitesi, 2011) Karaman, Celal; Aktaç, NihatBu çalışmada; 2002-2008 yılları arasında Güney Marmara, Orta Batı Anadolu, Batı Akdeniz ve İç Anadolu Bölgelerinde yapılan arazi çalışmalarında elde edilen materyal ile 1971-2006 yılları arasında Marmara, Ege, Karadeniz, İç Anadolu, Doğu ve Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgelerinde Aktaç tarafından, 1944-2008 yılları arasında Marmara, Ege, Karadeniz, İç Anadolu, Doğu ve Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgelerinde diğer araştırıcılar tarafından olmak üzere 757 lokalite ve 33 farklı habitattan elde edilen Camponotus cinsine ait materyal taksonomik ve coğrafik olarak değerlendirilmiştir.Tespit edilen türlerin işçi, dişi ve erkek kastlarına ait tayin anahtarları hazırlanmış, orijinal çizimleri yapılmış, bilim dünyası için yeni olan ve tanımında problem yaşanan türlerin taksonomik ve diagnostik karakterlerine ait metrik ölçümleri verilmiştir. Ayrıca C. boghossiani, C. baldaccii türlerinin dişi ve erkek, C. shaqualavensis türünün dişi, C. festai türünün erkek kastının deskripsiyonu ilk kez yapılmıştır.Değerlendirme sonucu 5 altcins [Camponotus (s.str.), Colobopsis, Myrmentoma, Myrmosericus, Tanaemyrmex]'e ait 35 tür tespit edilmiştir. Bu türlerden 4'ü (C. aktaci sp. n., C. anatolicus sp. n., C. hirtus sp. n., C. honaziensis sp. n.) bilim dünyası için, C. abrahami ve C. oasium ile birlikte kesin tanısı yapılamayan 3 (C. sp 1, C. sp 2, C. sp 3) tür de Türkiye karınca faunası için yeni kayıtlardır. Böylece Türkiye'den Camponotus cinsine ait bilinen takson sayısı 38'den 46'ya yükselmiştir.Araştırılan 33 habitatın 28'sinden tespit edilen C. aethiops'un, ekolojik toleransı en yüksek tür olduğu belirlenmiştir. C. abrahami, C. oasium, C. cilicicus, C. hirtus sp. n. ve C. sp 1 türleri sadece 1'er habitattan tespit edilmiştir.Kayıt edilen türlerin, Türkiye'deki coğrafik bölgelere göre sayısal dağılımları dikkate alındığında; Akdeniz Bölgesi'nin 26 tür ile en fazla, Güney Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi'nin ise 7 tür ile en az tür ile temsil edilen bölge olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca Camponotus cinsinin Türkiye'de en çok ?Akdeniz elemanları? (%34) ile temsil edildiği, ancak ?Avrupa elemanı?, ?Balkan elemanları?, ?Endemik elemanlar?, ?Eremial elemanlar?, ?Euroasya elemanları?, ?Eurosibirya elemanları?, ?Sibirya elemanları?nın da Türkiye'de temsil edildikleri saptanmıştır.Öğe Descriptions of Four New Species of Camponotus Mayr (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), with a Key for the Worker Caste of the Camponotus of Turkey(Kansas Entomological Soc, 2013) Karaman, Celal; Aktac, NihatFour new species of Camponotus are described in Turkey: C. (Myrmentoma) aktaci C. Karaman new species, C. (Myrmentoma) anatolicus new species, C. (Myrmentoma) hirtus new species, and C. (Myrmentoma) honaziensis new species. In addition, two species, C. (Myrmentoma) abrahami Forel, 1913 and C (Tanaemyrmex) oasium Forel, 1890 are reported for the first time from Turkey. We reexamined the C. fedtschenkoi material collected in Eastern Anatolia and identified the material as similar to C. buddhae. Therefore, C. fedtschenkoi is a dubious record for Turkish ant fauna. An identification key for all known Turkish species of Camponotus is presented.Öğe Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesi Karınca (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Faunası nın Taksonomik Olarak Araştırılması(2014) Karaman, Celal; Kıran, Kadri; Aksoy, Volkan[Abstract Nıt Available]Öğe Evolutionary history of inquiline social parasitism in Plagiolepis ants(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2021) Degueldre, Felicien; Mardulyn, Patrick; Kuhn, Alexandre; Pinel, Amelie; Karaman, Celal; Lebas, Claude; Schifani, EnricoSocial parasitism, i.e. the parasitic dependence of a social species on another free-living social species, is one of the most intriguing phenomena in social insects. It has evolved to various levels, the most extreme form being inquiline social parasites which have lost the worker caste, and produce only male and female sexual offspring that are reared by the host worker force. The inquiline syndrome has been reported in 4 species within the ant genus Plagiolepis, in Europe. Whether inquiline social parasitism evolved once or multiple times within the genus remains however unknown. To address this question, we generated data for 5 inquiline social parasites - 3 species previously described and 2 unidentified species - and their free-living hosts from Europe, and we inferred their phylogenetic relationships. We tested Emery's rule, which predicts that inquiline social parasites and their hosts are close relatives. Our results show that inquiline parasitism evolved independently at least 5 times in the genus. Furthermore, we found that all inquilines were associated with one of the descendants of their most related free-living species, suggesting sympatric speciation is the main process leading to the emergence of the parasitic species, consistent with the stricter version of Emery's rule.Öğe First annotated checklist of the ant fauna of Turkey (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)(Magnolia Press, 2012) Kiran, Kadri; Karaman, CelalThe first annotated checklist of the ants of Turkey is presented. A total of 306 valid names of species-group taxa (286 species, 20 subspecies) is recorded based on literature records and additional newly collected material carried out since 1998. Synonyms are included. New localities are added for some poorly known species. Four species (Tapinoma subboreale, Formica georgica, Formica lugubris and Lasius balcanicus) are reported for the first time and thirteen species (Bothriomyrmex atlantis, B. meridionalis, Tapinoma madeirense, Camponotus robustus, Formica fuscocinerea, F. gagatoides, Rossomyrmex minuchae, Messor barbarus, Monomorium glabrum, M. salomonis, Myrmica vandeli, Stenamma westwoodii and Tetramorium forte) are excluded from the list of Turkish ants.Öğe First record of Carebara oertzeni Forel (Hymenoptera: Formicidae from the European part of Turkey with worker description(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2017) Karaman, Celal; Kiran, KadriCarebara oertzeni Forel is recorded from the European part of Turkey for the first time based on queens, a male, and workers. The hitherto unknown worker caste of C. oertzeni is recorded and described for the first time. Our queen and male specimens have some differences from the typical C. oertzeni specimens. The differences are the sculpture on the anterior half of head, on the pronotum, and the area between the metanotal teeth, larger head measurements and some body ratios in queen; head measurements, 4-toothed mandibles, scape measurements, ratio of scape and 2nd funicular segment, and hair density on head dorsum in male. Moreover, some biological notes for the species arc given.Öğe First record of Carebara oertzeni Forel (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from the European part of Turkey with worker description(2017) Karaman, Celal; Kıran, KadriCarebara oertzeniForel is recorded from the European part of Turkey for the first time based on queens, a male, and workers.The hitherto unknown worker caste ofC. oertzeniis recorded and described for the first time.

Leptothorax kutteri is a workerless inquiline living in the colonies of L. acervorum (Fabricius, 1793) so far known from various parts of Northern and Central Europe. Our findings greatly increase the range of this small and rare ant.Öğe First Record of The South European Rare Parasitic Ant Species Camponotus universitatis Forel (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in Asia(Gazi Entomological Research Soc, 2015) Karaman, Celal; Kiran, Kadri; Aksoy, Volkan; Camlitepe, YilmazCamponotus universitatis was the only known inquiline parasitic species of the genus Camponotus until C. ruseni, a putative parasitic species, was recently described by Karaman in 2012. C. universitatis has been recorded so far only from the southern Europe (Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Albania and Bulgaria) by a few studies. Despite the Bulgarian record of the C. universitatis is from the Strandzha Mountains which lies very close to the Turkish boundary, the species has not yet been recorded from Turkey up to date. In this study, we recorded C. universitatis from Konya-Ak ehir-Engili Village (Central Anatolia) representing the first record of the species in Asia.Öğe First record of the south european rare parasitic ant species camponotus universitatis forel (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in Asia 1(2015) Karaman, Celal; Kıran, Kadri; Aksoy, Volkan; Çamlıtepe, YılmazCamponotus universitatis was the only known inquiline parasitic species of the genus Camponotus until C. ruseni , a putative parasitic species, was recently described by Karaman in 2012.

For this purpose, we selected five sites burnt 3 to 26 years prior to the study and a control site unburnt for at least 50 years. Sampling of ants was conducted in four pit-fall traps in four transects in three replication plots at every successional site and in two plots at the control site. Microhabitat variables regarding the vegetation structure and litter layers were recorded and related to the abundances of ants. The results show that subshrubs, leaves, and needles were the most important microhabitat variables that affected the ant communities. In certain ant genera, significant changes depending upon successional gradient were determined. While the genera Aphaenogaster and Cataglyphis had non-linear relationships with successional gradient, negative linear relationships were found in Crematogaster and Prenolepis. Messor is the only genus caught in high numbers in the earliest successional stage. It showed a decrease with successional gradient. Significant changes in ant communities along the successional gradient were associated with the characteristics of vegetation and the litter layer.Öğe A mixed colony of Tetramorium immigrans SANTSCHI, 1927 and the putative social parasite Tetramorium aspina sp.n. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)(Oesterreichische Gesell Entomofaunistik, C/O Naturhistor Museum Wien, 2018) Wagner, Herbert C.; Karaman, Celal; Aksoy, Volkan; Kiran, KadriMixed ant colonies have long fascinated biologists since they are often examples of social parasitism. From the genus Tetramorium MAYR, 1855, two types of social parasitism are well known: dulosis and inquilinism. We present a nest record from Turkey comprising workers of T. immigrans SANTSCHI, 1927, workers and a single gyne of a new species, and brood in commonly used nest chambers. We interpret the new species as a social parasite and describe it as T. aspina sp.n. Three characteristics indicate a morphological degeneration of the worker caste: Workers of T. aspina sp.n. have strongly reduced propodeal spines, larger intranest morphological variability than workers of the T. caespitum complex sensu WAGNER & al. (2017: Myrmecological News 25: 95-129), and a larger proportion of these workers have an aberrant propodeum (propodeal syndrome) compared with workers of the T. caespitum complex. The discovery of T. aspina sp.n. raises interesting questions concerning the characterization of its socially parasitic life history and its evolutionary origin.Öğe Nest composition and worker relatedness in three slave-making ants of the genus Rossomyrmex Arnoldi and their Proformica Ruzsky hosts (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)(Wiley, 2010) Tinaut, Alberto; Ruano, Francisca; Sanllorente, Olivia; Fernandez-Zambrano, Alejandra; Karaman, Celal; Kaz, YelimbekIn this paper, we analyze and compare nest composition and architecture as well as worker relatedness in three related species of slave-making ants: Rossomyrmex anatolicus, R. minuchae, and R. quandratinodum. Colony structure within nests is an important trait in ants, especially in the case of mixed societies, when host and parasite coexist in the same nest. Data for their respective free-living hosts, Proformica korbi, P. longiseta and P. sp., are also provided. For our study, we integrated a meticulous excavation procedure with a genetic method. We conclude that the average number of parasites, as well as of slaves, is species-specific, whereas nest depth depends on the nest architecture of the host. The genus Rossomyrmex seems to be monogynous and monandrous, whereas Proformica shows differences in the number of queens and mating frequency. R. quandratinodum shows different traits in nest composition (host/parasite ratio: P/R) and architecture. The difference in traits may account for some differences in parasitism: raid process or avoidance of parasitism.
