Selami Candan Department of Biology University of Gazi, Ankara, Turkey      I am an assistant professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Gazi.  I am interested in the egg and spermathecal morphology in the Heteroptera and other insect groups by scanning and transmission electron microscopy.  I am especially interested in the external morphology of eggs of species of Pentatomoidea.  I also maintain an interest in the morphology of the heteropteran spermatheca.  I have published several papers on the Pentatomoidea.
