ABSTRACT
Geographic information systems are geographical position-based and analysis and information-sharing systems that can be used for all scientific studies. Google Earth software provides cartographical map information and satellite images to all internet users and shows the smallest settlement units of countries and cities. Researchers can also access map information quickly and are able to locate their geographical position. We used this system during a study of the determination of Eriophyoidea (Acarina) species, their hosts, distribution, natural enemies, and population development of Aculus schlechtendali (Nalepa, 1892) on ornamental plants in Ankara.
