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, Kadri
The 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.
Additions to the Ant Fauna of Turkey (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
(Publications Scientifiques Du Museum, Paris, 2020) Kiran, Kadri; Karaman, Celal
Based on material collected between the years 1988-2015 numerous new province and country records of ants from Turkey are given.

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.
Ant fauna (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) of Strandzha (Istranca) Mountain and adjacent Black Sea coast
(Univ Oradea Publ House, 2012) Lapeva-Gjonova, Albena; Kiran, Kadri
The ant fauna of Strandzha (Istranca) Mountain and its Black Sea coast was investigated in both Bulgaria and Turkey. A total of 90 ant species were determined. Oxyopomyrmex krueperi Forel, 1911, Stenamma striatulum (Emery, 1895), Camponotus tergestinus Muller, 1921 and C. universitatis Ford, 1890 were recorded for the first time in Bulgaria and 34 species are new for the Bulgarian part of Strandzha Mountain. Four ant species - Temnothorax crassispinus (Karavaiev, 1926), T. interruptus (Schenck, 1852), Tetramorium hungaricum (Roszler, 1935) and Tapinoma madeirense Ford, 1895 are new for Turkey. Ten species were recorded for the first time from the European part of Turkey and 38 - from the Turkish part of Strandzha Mountain. The zoogeographical composition and conservation status of threatened ant species are discussed.
Ant fauna (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of Central Anatolian Region of Turkey
(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2021) Kiran, Kadri; Karaman, Celal
The 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.
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, Kadri
The 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.
First annotated checklist of the ant fauna of Turkey (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(Magnolia Press, 2012) Kiran, Kadri; Karaman, Celal
The 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.
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, Kadri
Carebara 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.
First Record of the Inquiline Ant Leptothorax kutteri Buschinger, 1965 from Turkey
(Univ Estadual Feira Santana, 2021) Kiran, Kadri; Karaman, Celal; Heinze, Juergen
We report on the occurrence of the ant Leptothorax kutteri Buschinger, 1965 in two sites in Northern and Eastern Turkey. 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.
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, Yilmaz
Camponotus 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.
First Records of Temnothorax flavicornis (Emery, 1870) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Bulgaria and Turkey
(Inst Zoology, Bas, 2014) Lapeva-Gjonova, Albena; Kiran, Kadri; Karaman, Celal
The ant species Temnothorax flavicornis (Emery, 1870) was recently found in Bulgaria and Turkey. The Bulgarian samples were collected from two sites in the southern part of the country. Three localities of the species were detected in the European part of Turkey and in western Anatolia. These are the first reports of T. flavicornis from Bulgaria and Turkey, which indicates the expansion of the geographical range eastwards.
Long-term effects of fire on ant communities (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Pinus brutia forests of south-western Turkey
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Kaynas, Burcin Yenisey; Kiran, Kadri; Karaman, Celal
We studied how forest fire affects the structure of ant communities in the long term and how microhabitat variables that influence communities of ants in different succession stages change. 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.
Mattesia cf. geminata, an ant-pathogenic neogregarine (Apicomplexa: Lipotrophidae) in two Temnothorax species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(Springer, 2023) Yaman, Mustafa; Kiran, Kadri; Radek, Renate
An ant-pathogenic neogregarine in Temnothorax affinis and T. parvulus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is described based on morphological and ultrastructural characteristics. The pathogen infects the hypodermis of the ants. The infection was mainly synchronous so that only gametocysts and oocysts could be observed simultaneously in the host body. Gametogamy resulted in the formation of two oocysts within a gametocyst. The lemon-shaped oocysts measured 11-13 mu m in length and 8-10 mu m in width. The surface of the oocysts is not smooth but contains many buds. A ring-shaped line containing rosary-arrayed buds line up in the equatorial plane of the oocyst. These specific characteristics were observed for the first time in neogregarine oocysts from ants. Polar plugs were recognizable clearly by light and electron microscopy. The oocyst wall was quite thick, measuring 775 to 1000 nm. Each oocyst contained eight sporozoites. The neogregarines in the two Temnothorax species show many similarities such as the size and shape of the oocysts, a relatively fragile gametocyst membrane, host affinity, and tissue preference. We identified these neogregarines as Mattesia cf. geminata, which is here recorded from natural ant populations in the Old World for the first time. All neogregarine pathogens infecting ants in nature so far have been recorded from the New World. We present the two ant species, Temnothorax affinis and T. parvulus, as new natural hosts for M. cf. geminata. Furthermore, the morphological and ultrastructural characteristics of the oocyst of M. cf. geminata are documented by scanning and transmission electron microscopy for the first time.
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, Kadri
Mixed 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.
A new species of the ant genus Aphaenogaster Mayr (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Iran
(Univ Malaysia Sabah, 2013) Kiran, Kadri; Alipanah, Helen; Paknia, Omid
A new species, Aphaenogaster iranica Kiran et Alipanah, sp. nov., is described from Iran. This species, belonging to the rothneyi group, is measured, illustrated and compared with other species of the group. Additionally, a key to workers of Aphaenogaster species from Iran is prepared.
A new species of the genus Camponotus (Mayr) (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from Turkey
(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2017) Karaman, Celal; Kiran, Kadri; Aksoy, Volkan; Camlitepe, Yilmaz
A new species, Camponotus praegracilis Karaman et Kiran sp. nov. is described; it is a member of the subgenus Tanaemyrmex, from the most species-rich ant genus in Turkey. Some biological notes for the new species are also given. Diagnostic characters of the new species, distinguishing the new species from the most similar species, are also described.
REVIEW OF THE APHAENOGASTER SPLENDIDA SPECIES-GROUP (HYMENOPTERA: FORMICIDAE)
(Museum & Inst Zoology Pas-Polish Acad Sciences, 2021) Salata, Sebastian; Karaman, Celal; Kiran, Kadri; Borowiec, Lech
Members of the Aphaenogaster splendida group are reviewed. We recognize 12 species, of which three are new: A. hamaensis sp. nov. (Syria), A. peloponnesiaca sp. nov. (continental Greece), and A. vohraliki sp. nov. (Turkey). Species status is restored for Aphaenogaster schmitzi Forel, 1910 stat. rev., and Aphaenogaster transcaucasica Karavaiev, 1926 stat. nov. is raised to the species rank. Aphaenogaster schmitzi Forel, 1910 is recognized as a senior synonym of Aphaenogaster schmitzi syria Forel, 1910 syn. nov. and Aphaenogaster ovaticeps Emery, 1898 is recognizes as a senior synonym of Aphaenogaster muelleriana Wolf, 1915 syn. nov. Detailed descriptions, measurements, habitat and nesting preferences, and activity of workers of all 12 species are given. Keys to workers and known gynes, and photographs of all species and their known castes are presented.
Review of the Camponotus kiesenwetteri group (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in the Aegean with the description of a new species
(Pensoft Publishers, 2019) Salata, Sebastian; Loss, Ana Carolina; Karaman, Celal; Kiran, Kadri; Borowiec, Lech
Based on recently collected material, the Camponotus kiesenwetteri group is redefined, and its members known from the Aegean region are diagnosed. Camponotus schuki sp. nov. is described from Izmir Province, Turkey. Camponotus nadimi Tohme, 1969 syn. nov. is proposed as a junior synonym of Camponotus libanicus Andre, 1881 and Camponotus kiesenwetteri cyprius Emery, 1920 syn. nov. as a junior synonym of Camponotus kiesenwetteri (Roger, 1859). A key to workers of species of the C. kiesenwetteri group is provided. Niche modeling analyses are used to account for species habitat suitability across the Aegean region.
Revisiting the morphological species groups of West-Palearctic Aphaenogaster ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) under a phylogenetic perspective: toward an evolutionary classification
(Senckenberg Naturhistorische Sammlungen Dresden, Museum Tierkunde, 2022) Schifani, Enrico; Alicata, Antonio; Menchetti, Mattia; Borowiec, Lech; Fisher, Brian L.; Karaman, Celal; Kiran, Kadri
The West-Palearctic region is a diversity hotspot for the ant genus Aphaenogaster. Species in this region are characterized by high morphological variation, which has led to their subdivision into different infrageneric groups. The very first classification in three subgenera, dated 1915, was gradually replaced by eight species-groups. To probe the evolutionary consistency of these species-groups, we sequenced 46 species from all eight species-groups and biogeographic sectors of the region, using one mitochondrial (COI) and six nuclear markers (EPICs), and interpreted the results by integrating qualitative morphology. Our results demonstrate the non-monophyly of all formerly recognized subgenera and species-groups, except for the crocea group. We use the phylogeny and morphological characters to propose a new classification of six monophyletic species-groups (crocea, gibbosa, graeca, pallida, sardoa, subterranea). The pallida, subterranea and sardoa (formerly testaceopilosa) groups attain monophyletic status by reassigning a few taxa. The gibbosa group is to be considered exclusively Western-Mediterranean until further assessments of similar Eastern species. The new graeca group is established by including former members of the splendida and subterranea groups, while the polyphyletic cecconii, obsidiana, and splendida groups are dismissed. Notably, the first is not part of the tropical Deromyrma clade as previously thought, while at least two independent clades which require further investigation are composed of species from both the cecconii and splendida groups, suggesting repeated morphological convergences based on similar ecological adaptations. -Finally, A. cardenai is confirmed to be a significantly divergent lineage. In addition, three Aphaenogaster species are moved to different genera: Messor asmaae (Sharaf, 2018) comb. nov., Messor isekram (Bernard, 1977) comb. nov., and Pheidole sarae (Sharaf, 2018) comb. nov. Further studies should address the evolutionary relationships between the clades recovered in this study.
A striking color variation is detected in Ponera testacea Emery, 1895 (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) across its Western Palaearctic geographic range
(Pensoft Publishers, 2022) Csosz, Sandor; Kiran, Kadri; Karaman, Celal; Lapeva-Gjonova, Albena
In this paper, we provide numeric morphology-based evidence that the dark-colored Ponera coarctata var. lucida Emery, 1898, formerly considered a synonym of P. coarctata (Latreille, 1802), is conspecific with the lighter-colored Ponera testacea Emery, 1895. Species hypotheses are developed via NC-PART clus-tering, combined with Partitioning Algorithm based on Recursive Thresholding (PART), and via PCA combined with gap statistics. We obtained our results from an extensive dataset from the 10 continuous morphometric traits measured on 165 workers belonging to 73 nest samples. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) confirmed the grouping of hypotheses generated by exploratory analyses with 100% classification success when all ten morphometric traits were involved. The Anatolian Turkish black and the predomi-nantly European yellow samples, did not separate based on their morphometric characteristics. These two color variations broadly overlap in their geographic range in Anatolian Turkey. The investigated type series of Ponera coarctata var. lucida Emery, 1898 (collected from Kazakhstan) fell within the P. testacea cluster instead of P. coarctata and is also classified with high certainty as P. testacea by confirmatory LDA. There-fore, we propose the synonymy of Ponera coarctata var. lucida Emery, 1898 with Ponera testacea Emery, 1895. As no other morphological differences than color patterns were detected between the black and pale P. testacea samples, we hold that these populations constitute geographically occurring color vari-ations of the same species. Finally, our quantitative morphology-based results show that relying on color patterns is not a robust approach in identifying European Ponera samples, particularly in the east, but using multivariate analyses of morphometric traits is advised instead.
Survey of the ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of the Greek Thrace
(Pensoft Publishers, 2016) Bracko, Gregor; Kiran, Kadri; Karaman, Celal; Salata, Sebastian; Borowiec, Lech
Background The ant fauna of Greek Thrace has been least known of all Greek regions with only 12 species mentioned in the literature. We conducted two field trips to this region in 2014 and 2015 and included some unpublished ant material, thus compiling new records from 72 sampling localities. New information We found 115 ant species, 108 of them are recorded for the first time in Greek Thrace. Cataglyphis viaticoides, Temnothorax aeolius, Tetramorium cf. davidi, Tetramorium hippocratis, and Tetramorium rhodium were so far not known for continental Greece. In the checklist of recorded species, we also give information on the taxonomic status and distribution of certain taxa.
