Description of Platycleis (Montana) helleri sp.n. (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Tettigoniinae): morphology, song and remards on the distribution of the subgenus.
Transactions of the American Entomological Society, 2006Co-Authors: Battal Çiplak, Mehmet Sait Taylan, Deniz ŞirinAbstract:Abstract The new species Platycleis (Montana) helleri Ciplak & Taylan sp.n. (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Tettigoniinae) is described on the basis of morphology and male calling song. The phylogenetic relationships of the new species are evaluated using both song and morphological characters, for which illustrations are provided. The species Platycleis (Montana) medvedevi (Miram) is assumed to be the closest relative of Platycleis (Montana) helleri sp.n. Finally a short remark on distribution of the the subgenus is given.

Systematics, phylogeny and biogeography of Anterastes (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Tettigoniinae): evolution within a refugium
Zoologica Scripta, 2004Co-Authors: Battal ÇiplakAbstract:Ciplak, B. (2004). Systematics, phylogeny and biogeography of Anterastes (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Tettigoniinae): evolution within a refugium. —Zoologica Scripta, 33, 19–44. The genus Anterastes, distributed in southeastern Europe and the western part of Anatolia, is revised based on previous materials and numerous specimens collected from new localities. A key to all species is presented. Two new species, A. antitauricus sp. n. and A. ucari sp. n. are described. Anterastes akdaghensis Ramme is placed in synonymy with A. babadaghi Uvarov. Cladistic analysis confirmed the monophyly of Anterastes. The relationships among the species of Anterastes are: A. uludaghensis + ((A. serbicus + A. burri + A. antitauricus sp. n.) + (A. anatolicus + A. tolunayi + (A. niger + (A. babadaghi + A. turcicus + A. ucari sp. n.)))). The biogeography of the genus shows a correlation with its phylogeny. It is assumed that the genus arose from an ancestral stock in northwestern Anatolia in the Pliocene and the later range of this ancestral population expanded and contracted under the effects of the ice ages (glacial and interglacial periods, respectively). It is postulated that speciation within the genus, suggested by phylogenetic analysis, might have occurred when the range of ancestral populations expanded during glacial periods and contracted in subsequent warm periods. The present species may be the product of relict populations remaining in refugia at higher altitudes with alpine or subalpine vegetation in southern Anatolia.

Distribution of Tettigoniinae (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) bush-crickets in Turkey: the importance of the Anatolian Taurus Mountains in biodiversity and implications for conservation
Biodiversity & Conservation, 2003Co-Authors: Battal ÇiplakAbstract:The distribution of Tettigoniinae (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) specieswithin four phytogeographical provinces in Turkey is reviewed and presented onthe basis of field and collection studies during 1987–2001 andmiscellaneous data from previous literature. One hundred and sixty speciesbelonging to 28 genera have been recorded. The Anatolian species constituteapproximately 30% of the world-wide species of the subfamily, with a very highproportion (≥83%) being endemic or semi-endemic, nearly all of which arebrachypterous. Regarding the numbers of total and endemic species, theprovinces can be ordered as follows: Mediterranean > Irano-Anatolian >Euxin > Mesopotamia. Also, Anatolian Tettigoniinae have a very high rate ofendemism in each province; 84.1% in the Mediterranean, 78.1% in Irano-Anatolia,56.3% in Mesopotamia and 42.4% in Euxin. The two provinces in Anatolia havingthe greatest species diversity are also the two most mountainous provinces, soit is suggested that a primary factor in Tettigoniinae diversity is theAnatolian Taurus mountains. Finally, some conclusions are drawn on biodiversityand conservation of Tettigoniinae species in Anatolia and I have suggested 23species to be included in the 'IUCN Red List' under VU B2+ac.

Reinventing the leaf: multiple origins of leaf-like wings in katydids (Orthoptera : Tettigoniidae)
Invertebrate Systematics, 2016Co-Authors: Joseph D Mugleston, Hojun Song, Michael Naegle, Seth M. Bybee, Spencer J. Ingley, Anton Suvorov, Michael F WhitingAbstract:Insects have developed incredible means to avoid detection by predators. At least five insect orders have species that resemble leaves. Katydids (Orthoptera : Tettigoniidae) are the most diverse and wide-ranging of the leaf-like insects. At least 14 of the 20 extant katydid subfamilies contain species with leaf-like wings. Although it is undisputed that many katydids resemble leaves, methods for delineating the leaf-like from non-leaf-like forms have varied by author and in many cases are not explicitly stated. We provide a simple ratio method that can be used to differentiate the leaf-like and non-leaf-like forms. Geometric morphometrics were used to validate the ratio method. Leaf-like wings have been independently derived in at least 15 katydid lineages. Relative rates of speciation were found to be greater in the non-leaf-like forms, suggesting that leaf-like wings within Tettigoniidae are not a driver of diversification. Likewise, throughout Tettigoniidae, selection seems to be favouring the transition away from leaf-like wings. However, within the large Phaneropterinae subclade, relative speciation and transition rates between the leaf-like and non-leaf-like forms do not differ significantly.

a century of paraphyly a molecular phylogeny of katydids orthoptera Tettigoniidae supports multiple origins of leaf like wings
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2013Co-Authors: Joseph D Mugleston, Hojun Song, Michael F WhitingAbstract:The phylogenetic relationships of Tettigoniidae (katydids and bush-crickets) were inferred using molecular sequence data. Six genes (18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, Cytochrome Oxidase II, Histone 3, Tubulin Alpha I, and Wingless) were sequenced for 135 ingroup taxa representing 16 of the 19 extant katydid subfamilies. Five subfamilies (Tettigoniinae, Pseudophyllinae, Mecopodinae, Meconematinae, and Listroscelidinae) were found to be paraphyletic under various tree reconstruction methods (Maximum Likelihood, Bayesisan Inference and Maximum Parsimony). Seven subfamilies – Conocephalinae, Hetrodinae, Hexacentrinae, Saginae, Phaneropterinae, Phyllophorinae, and Lipotactinae – were each recovered as well-supported monophyletic groups. We mapped the small and exposed thoracic auditory spiracle (a defining character of the subfamily Pseudophyllinae) and found it to be homoplasious. We also found the leaf-like wings of katydids have been derived independently in at least six lineages.
