Öğe Analysis of Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Relation to Environmental Variables of Lake Gala, a National Park of Turkey(Central Fisheries Research Inst, 2010) Camur-Elipek, Belgin; Arslan, Naime; Kirgiz, Timur; Oterler, Burak; Guher, Huseyin; Ozkan, NurcanIn order to determine the relationships between the dynamics of benthic macroinvertebrates (both species number and individual number) and environmental variables, sampling was made at four different stations at monthly intervals during a year between March 2004 and January 2005 of Lake Gala which is a part of an important wetland and a national park in European part of Turkey (Enez/Edirne). Altogether, a total of 49 zoobenthic taxa which were grouped as Oligochaeta, Chironomidae, and Varia, comprised of 1,628 individuals in per m(2) at average were recognised in the sampling stations of the Lake. The present study showed that larval chironomids comprising 57% abundance of the total specimens are the biggest part of benthic macroinvertebrates. It is followed by oligochaetes and the group varia comprising 34% and 9% abundance, respectively. Also, it was seen changing that the composition of zoobenthic group dominancy in the Lake as time passes. Furthermore, according to Shannon-Wcaner index, species diversity for zoobenthic macroinvertebrate fauna of the lake was found as H'=1.21 at average. Also, similarities of the sampling stations and months, both the dynamics of benthic macroinvertebrates and physicochemical features were evaluated by using Bray-Curtis similarity index. According to Spearman correlation index, relationship between the number of individuals and some physicochemical variables such as temperature, turbidity (light permeability), and depth of the lake was determined statistically significant.Öğe Annotated catalogue of Enicocephalomorpha, Dipsocoromorpha, Nepomorpha, Gerromorpha, and Leptopodomorpha (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) of Turkey, with new records(Magnolia Press, 2011) Fent, Meral; Kment, Petr; Camur-Elipek, Belgin; Kirgiz, TimurAn annotated check-list of the aquatic and semi-aquatic bugs of the infraorders Enicocephalomorpha, Dipsocoromorpha, Nepomorpha, Gerromorpha, and Leptopodomorpha of Turkey and its geographical parts (Turkish Thrace [i.e., European Turkey] and Anatolia [i.e., the Asian Turkey]) is presented. The nomenclatoric history of Alpagut Kiyak, 1995 (= Harpago Linnavuori, 1951, = Raunocoris Baena & Alonso-Zarazaga, 2009) is reviewed, its gender is fixed, and two new combinations are proposed: Alpagut maroccanus (Wagner, 1960) comb. nov., and Alpagut medius (Rey, 1888) comb. nov. The list is based on a survey of all published records as well as on examination of collection material, including recent material collected in the poorly explored Turkish Thrace. The following numbers of species are accepted as occurring in Turkey: Enicocephalomorpha-1 species (Asian Turkey only), Dipsocoromorpha-2 species (Asian Turkey only), Nepomorpha-49 species (29 in European and 47 in Asian Turkey), Gerromorpha-27 species (10 in European and 25 in Asian Turkey), and Leptopodomorpha-21 species (6 in European and 20 in Asian Turkey). Forty species are known from both European and Asian Turkey, whereas 5 are recorded only from European Turkey and 55 only from Asian Turkey.

The previously published records of Rhagovelia nigricans nigricans (Burmeister, 1835) from Cyprus and Israel (Hoberlandt 1952b) belong to R. infernalis africana Lundblad, 1936.Öğe Benthic macrofauna in Tunca River (Turkey) and their relationships with environmental variables(Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh, 2006) Camur-Elipek, Belgin; Arslan, Naime; Kirgiz, Timur; Oterler, BurakThe numerical and proportional distributions of benthic macroinvertebrates in Tunca (Tundja, Tundzha) River (Edirne/Turkey) were determined from July 2002 to June 2003 at monthly intervals at four different stations. It was found that the benthic macrofauna consisted of 63% Oligochaeta, 24% Chironomidae larvae, and 13% Varia by numbers. According to the Shannon-Wiener index, Tunca River had a diversity of 1.36; station 2 and September were found to have the highest diversity while station 4 and December to have the poorest. According to Bray-Curtis similarity index, stations 2 and 3 and April and May were found to be the most similar to each other while stations 1 and 4 and August and January were found to be the most different from each other for the dynamics of the benthic macrofauna. Also some physicochemical parameters of the water (water temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, chloride, total hardness, NO3--N, NO2--N, sulfate, phosphate, biochemical and chemical oxygen demands) were analyzed. Pearson correlation index supported the relationships between the dynamics of organisms and physicochemical variables. The relation between the number of macroinvertebrates and pH (r = +0.57, P < 0.05) was direct proportional while the relation between the number of macroinvertebrates and NO3--N (r = -0.99, P < 0.05) was inverse proportional. Furthermore, the Chironomidae larvae of Bryophaenocladius muscicola and Mesosmittia flexuella were new records for Turkish Thrace region. High pH and supersaturated oxygen levels, hard water quality, second quality levels of NO3--N, BOD, COD and fourth quality levels of NO2--N as well as the density of 490 individuals m(-2) for 124 taxa and the diversity of 1.36 showed that similar studies should be repeated periodically in Tunca to determine the future of the river.Öğe Changing with time of Oligochaeta fauna and some physicochemical features of Corlu stream (Tekirdag)(Ege Univ, 2008) Tas, Menekse; Kirgiz, Timur; Arslan, Naime; Camur-Elipek, Belgin; Guher, HuseyinThis study was performed to determine Oligochaeta fauna and some physicochemical features of Corlu Stream which is the large part of Meric-Ergene River Basin. A total of 9 Oligochaeta species belonging to Tubificidae (4 species) and Naididae (5 species) was recorded in the study during seasonal sampling carried out between 1990 and 1991. Furthermore, some physicochemical parameteres (pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, biological and chemical oxygen demands) in the stream which was under the pressure of intensive pollution because of urban and industrial wastes, were measured. To determine the changes in species composition and pollution level one more sampling was made in 2008. Also, some physicochemical features (pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, nitrite, nitrate, sulphate, phosphate, H2S, Suspended Solid Matter) were measured beside Oligochaeta sampling. It was observed that number of total oligochaeta species was decreased to 4 and the quality of water in the stream was further deteriorated.Öğe Contribution to the knowledge of the distribution of Orchestia cavimana Heller, 1865 (Amphipoda, Talitridae) in Turkey(Ege Univ, 2008) Elipek, Belgin Camur; Kirgiz, TimurA semi-terrestrial species Orchestia cavimana Heller, 1865 (Amphipoda, Talitridae) was a new report for Thrace region of Turkey although the species was known from Black Sea and some other inland waters of Anatolia. During the study, it was aimed to contribute knowledge on the distribution of Orchestia cavimana in Turkey. Besides, distribution of the known species of the genus Orchestia in Turkey was discussed.Öğe Dynamics of Oligochaeta Fauna in Sazlidere Stream (Edirne, Turkey) with Relation to Environmental Factors(Inst Zoology, Bas, 2011) Tas, Menekse; Kirgiz, Timur; Arslan, NaimeThis study was carried out in order to determine Oligochaeta fauna of Sazlidere Stream (Edirne, Turkey) and investigate their distribution between February 2007-December 2007. Samplings were collected in two monthly intervals at four different stations during a year. Oligochaeta individuals were identified on species level and a total of 14 species (Tubifex tubifex (Muller 1774), Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri (Claparede 1862), L. udekemianus (Claparede 1862), Potamothrix hammoniensis (Michaelsen 1901) belonging to subfamily Tubificinae; Chaetogaster diaphanus (Gruithuisen 1828), Stylaria lacustris (Linnaeus 1767), Nais barbata (Muller 1773), N. bretscheri (Michaelsen 1899), N. elinguis (Piguet 1906), Ophidonais serpentina (Muller 1774), Pristina longiseta (Ehrenberg 1938), Slavina appendiculata (D'Ukem 1855), Dero digitata (Muller 1773), Aulophorus furcatus (Muller 1774) belonging to family Naididae and immature tubificidae with hair setae were determined. All the species identified in Sazlidere Stream are new records for the stream. In addition, C. diaphanus, N. barbata, N. bretscheri, O. serpentina, S. appendiculata, P. longiseta are new recods for Oligochaeta fauna of Turkish Thrace. According to Shannon-Weiner diversity index, it was found that Sazlidere Stream has H'= 0.72 diversity values at average. According to Bray-Curtis Cluster analyse results, 1st and 2nd stations have showed the highest similarity in terms of Oligochaeta species and their number and it is observed that this similarity is related to 4th and 3rd station, respectively. Also, water sampling was done to determine some physical-chemical features of surface water (DO, BOD, SO4-2, PO4-3, NO3--N, NO- (2)-N, Mg, Ca, Cl, Chlorophyll-a, suspended solid material, organic matter) and microbiological analysis (total bacteria, total coliform and E. coli). Furthermore, the relationships between oligochaeta species and physical-chemical features was analysed by one way ANOVA test.Öğe The Dynamics of Zooplankton in National Park of Lake Gala (Edirne-Turkey)(Inst Zoology, Bas, 2011) Guher, Huseyin; Erdogan, Sevil; Kirgiz, Timur; Camur-Elipek, BelginIn this study, carried out at monthly intervals in four different stations between March 2004 and January 2005, it is aimed to have new knowledge on the dynamics of zooplankton communities and the effects of physical-chemical values of the Lake Gala. As a result of the study, a total of 76 species have been identified as 50 species belong to Rotifera, 15 species - to Cladocera, and 11 species - to Copepoda. Of these species Proalides tentaculatus de Beuchamp, 1907, Itura myersi WULFERT, 1935, Asplanchnopus hyalinus (HARRING, 1913) are found only in Turkish Thrace. As a result of quantitative evaluation of zooplankton samples, while an average of 35 334 ind./m(3) Rotifera, 19 305 ind./m(3) Cladocera, 72 369 ind./m(3) Copepoda was found an average of 127 008 ind./m(3) zooplankton organisms have been determined in the lake. According to the results of PCA analysis, when looking at the seasonal distribution of zooplankton species, it is seen that species assembled to form three groups as species which appear in spring, summer and winter. According to the results of RDA analysis, correlation (for RDA axis 1 0.956, for RDA axis 2 0.925) between zooplankton organisms and environmental variables being so high shows that Water tem, EC, SO4, Ca, pH, Chl-a, Secchi and PO4, are significant (p = 0.0020) factors determining the distribution of zooplankton organisms in the Lake Gala.Öğe First observations in Turkish Thrace on water mite larvae parasitism of Ranatra linearis by Hydrachna gallica (Acari: Hydrachnidia)(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2013) Zawal, Andrzej; Camur-Elipek, Belgin; Fent, Meral; Kirgiz, Timur; Dzierzgowska, KingaMany aquatic insect species, including aquatic Hemiptera, are parasitized by water mite larvae. Although this situation may cause damaging impacts to the hosts, the mites can disperse and colonize new localities in this way. Little is known about the frequency of water mite ectoparasitism amongst the aquatic Hemiptera in Turkey. In this study, larval water mite parasitism on aquatic Hemiptera, which have been collected from different localities in Turkish Thrace, was evaluated. It was found that only nine individuals, belonging two different species in a total of 367 hemipteran specimens, were parasitized by larval water mites. Furthermore, variations in sizes and shapes of the mites on the waterscorpion Ranatra linearis Linne, 1758 and Nepa cinerea Linne, 1758 were determined. These are the first records for larval mite parasitism on R. linearis and N. cinerea in Turkish Thrace.Öğe Macrobentic Fauna of the Meric River (Turkis Thrace): Composition of the community as related to water quality(Univ Autonoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa, 2018) Tas-Divrik, Menekse; Kirgiz, TimurBackground: Benthic macroinvertebrates are commonly used as indicators of the biological condition of waterbodies. Both the benthic macroinvertebrates and the physicochemical properties of the water provide important information about the pollution of a water environment. Goals: To investigate the relationships between assemblage composition of Oligochaeta (Annelida), Chironomidae (Diptera), and other macroinvertebrates with physical and chemical water variables in the Meric River, Turkey. Methods: This study was carried out by taking water and benthic samples at 8 stations at monthly intervals in order to determine what macrobenthic fauna exist in the Meric River and what environmental properties affect their distribution. Results: A total of 39 taxa were found and we determined that there is an average of 851 individuals per m(2). Also, this study established the first records for Brachium sowerbyii (Oligochaeta) and Pottashia alternis (Chironomidae) in the Turkish Thrace region. According to Shannon-Wiener index, while it was determined that Meric River has the highest diversity values with H' = 0.845 at the station 4, the river has the poorest diversity with H'= 0.477 at the station 2. Also, we examined similarities of distribution of Oligochaeta taxa by station and month using the Bray-Curtis index. Accordingly, while stations 6 and 8 were determined to be the most similar to each other, stations 2 and 5 were the least similar. The relationships between Oligochaeta taxa and physical and chemical parameters of water were evaluated using the Spearman Correlation index. As a result, we found that water temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, hydrogen sulfide, calcium, magnesium, phosphate, chlorine, salinity, dissolved oxygen and biological oxygen have positive correlations with some species of Oligochaeta, while nitrate and nitrite have negative correlations with some species of Oligochaeta. Conclusions: We made a number of suggestions for sustainable usage of this river.Öğe Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of water resources that feed into the National Park Igneada Longoz Forests (Turkish Thrace) by using physico-chemical and biological analyses(Univ Autonoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa, 2015) Camur-Elipek, Belgin; Kirgiz, Timur; Oterler, Burak; Tas, MenekseIn this study, some physico-chemical and biological features of the water resources that feed three alluvial longose groves (are also known as Longoz) which are important wetlands in the National Park Igneada Longoz Forests including a lot of different ecosystems were investigated. In order to assess the water quality, a total of eight running water resources were sampled within four different seasons and two lakes were sampled at dry and wet seasons in 2008-2009. While some water resources were found to have high quality levels for some physico-chemical findings, the results were also supported by using EPT (Ephemeroptera Plecoptera Trichoptera) index. Furthermore, the cluster analysis, correspondence analysis, and Pearson correlation index were used to determine the relationships between the data. As a result, although a lot of sampled water resources that feed into the National Park area has been found to have good quality level, it was also observed that the area have been under the negative effects of humans. Therefore, at the end of this study, it was also made some suggestions for sustainable usage of this special area.Öğe A Study on the Odonate Larvae of Turkish Thrace: with Larval Identification Keys to the Considered Taxa(Gazi Entomological Research Soc, 2010) Hacet, Nurten; Camur-Elipek, Belgin; Kirgiz, TimurThe present paper focuses on odonate larvae (damselfly and dragonfly) within Turkish Thrace. A total of 26 spp. were recorded based on larval specimens collected from the region during sampling period between years 1982 and 2009. New localities for the odonate species, except Caliaeschna microstigma, Gomphus flavipes, Cordulegaster insignis, and Sympetrum fonscolombii, were added to their distributional ranges inside the region. Furthermore, Anax imperator, Brachytron pratense, and Libellula fulva were recorded from the provinces where they had not previously been found. Keys including illustrations of the larvae recorded in the region were provided.
