Studies on the fauna and zoogeography of Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea (Lepidoptera) of the Celestial Mountain Range [in Turkish], Cent. ent. Stud., Priamus Suppl. 2: 1-122, Tabs., 8 Pls.

In this study, the fauna, taxonomy,  ecological and zoogeographical features of the butterflies occuring in the Celestial Mountain Range are investigated. For this purpose, totally 291 species and 446 subspecies, belonging to the superfamilies Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea, including 156 species recorded by the author are studied. All the genus and species group names are controlled and updated in accordance with the Rules of the Code on the Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). Proposals for the determined taxonomical problems are given. In Lycaenidae, Margelycaena (nom. nov.) and Athamanthia Zhdanko,1983 (syn.nov.) are proposed. Ecological information on some species obtained and 5339 specimens collected during the field works are evaluated. Faunal and ecological data determined here to be new are explained. Elements of the faunal regions composing some faunas of the mountains in the Celestial Mountain Range are evaluated zoogeographically. It was determined that the elements composing the whole fauna of the Celestial Mountains belong to totally 42 faunal regions. Zoogeographical results obtained are discussed and proposals are given.

Ünal,M., 2006,

Studies on the fauna, ecology and taxonomy of Orthoptera of Kırıkkale [in Turkish]. Cent. ent. Stud., Priamus Suppl. 3: 1-50.

Totally 4200 specimens, belonging to 90 species and subspecies in 51 genera and 8 families, collected by the author in the years of 1994-1996 from 92 localities in the province of Kırıkkale (Turkey). The location of the area studied, plant cover, and the previous data on the Orthoptera fauna of the province are mentioned. The habitats in the localities, where the specimens collected are described. The valid names of the taxa used are selected and arranged according to the International Code of the Zoological Nomenclature. Original taxonomical references of the taxa of species and genus-groups are given. Family group names are critized nomenclaturally. Faunistical references of the species recorded previously in the studied area are mentioned. Material examined is arranged for each species, with the necessary collecting data. Distribution of the species are put in order in two categories, in Turkey and in abroad. Habitat peculiarities and phenology for each species are determined in the ecology part. Conclusions are evaluated from faunistical, taxonomical and ecological standpoints. Totally 69 species and subspecies are new to the Kırıkkale Province, while one species (Chorthippus dorsatus) new to Turkey. Rare and little known species in the area are discussed. Species are discussed ecologically, the ratio of the endemics are cited.

Studies on the fauna and ecology of Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea of Gevaş District (Van). Cent. Ent. Stud., Priamus Suppl. 5:  1-55 [in Turkish].

In this study, the fauna, ecological and zoogeographical features of the butterflies inhabiting in the Gevaş district were investigated. For this purpose, totally 1841 specimens belonging to 136 species in the superfamilies Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea were collected by the author. Faunal and ecological information of 140 species were evaluated. Phenology, topography, habitat preference, vertical and horizontal distribution according to the main rock groups in the district were given for each species. Difference of the faunal composition between Gevaş district and Erek mountain was also discussed. Among the species, 3 species in Van province and 80 species in Gevaş district were recorded for the first time. Endangered species in the studied area were also evaluated.

Kayci, L., 2007, 

Studies on the fauna and ecology of Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea in Erek Mountain (Van). Cent. Ent. Stud., Priamus Suppl. 6:  1-47 [in Turkish].

In thid study, 1308 specimens of butterflies are collected by the author from Erek Mountain between the years of  2002 and 2003, for the purpose of evaluating of the butterflies from the faunal and ecological standpoints. Totally 109 species, belonging to the superfamilies of Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea are determined. Among them, 86 butterfly species are found as new to the studying area.

For all species treated in the chapter of Results, the valid scientific names, their taxonomical references, synonyms, distributional information within Turkey, as well as the faunal elements, preference of the species concerning their habitats, distribution, phenological and topographical features are mentioned in the thesis. Subspecific taxa of the recorded species are also given. The scientific names of species used in the text are adopted in accordance with the International Code of the Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). In the chapter of Discussion, all the obtained faunal and ecological data, belonging to the species recorded from the studying area are discussed in detail. Besides,  the results of the zoogeographical analyses and the differences of the faunal composition of Erek and Gevaş territories are argued.

Studies on the Geometridae fauna of the Provinces Bolu and Düzce in North-West Turkey (Lepidoptera). Cent. ent. Stud., Priamus Suppl. 7: 1-154, figs. [in Turkish]. 

The aim of this research was to investigate the Geometridae fauna of Bolu and Düzce provinces. Totally 2254 samples belonging to 197 species were collected in this study. Among the species 7 was new record for the Turkish fauna. Also the species number was reached to 180 from 74 with this study and to 90 from 20 in Bolu and Düzce provinces respectively. Original references of the species, faunistic and ecological data recorded in surveys were arranged with distribution in Turkey and Palaearctic region according to the literature. Distributional maps in Turkey and topographic maps showing spots where the species were collected in survey areas were prepared. Habitats where species collected were divided into 8 groups and habitat preferences and phenological properties of the species were discussed. Sample number of each species, number of localities where the species were collected and the number of habitat groups were determined and according to these data, rare, local, depending on a particular habitat and widespread species were tried to be designated.
