Abstract

Dinoflagellates have different life
cycle depend on species diversity. Some dinoflagellates can produce a living
form called resting cysts in their life cycle. Resting cysts are important due
to their strong cyst wall and long time preservation between sediment layers, and
the cysts bring some new populations. The dinoflagellate resting cysts reserve some
permenant and useful information. Therefore, recently dinoflagellate cysts have
been used as a tool which present sea surface conditions. Aim of this study is
to evaluate and review dinoflagellate cysts and their relationship with sea
surface condition with past geological ages and recent data.

Dinoflagellat Kistlerinin Deniz Yüzey Suyu Hidrografik Koşulları İle İlişkisi ve İndikatör Olarak Kullanımı

Abstract

Dinoflagellatlar türden türe değişmekle
birlikte farklı hayat döngüleri barındırmaktadır. Dinoflagellatlardan bazıları
hayat döngülerinde kalıcı kistler olarak adlandırılan yaşam formları üretirler.
Kalıcı kistler güçlü duvar yapısı ve sediment tabakaları arasında uzun süre korunmasından
dolayı önemlidir ve bu kistler hücrelerin gelecek popülasyonları oluşturmasını
sağlar. Dinoflagellat kistleri denizel ortamlarla ilgili kalıcı ve kullanıcı
bilgiler içermektedir. Bu yüzden dinoflagellat kistleri son yıllarda sıklıkla
yüzey suyu koşullarını yansıtan birer araç olarak kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı kistlerin deniz yüzey
suyu ile olan ilişkilerininin geçmiş
jeolojik devirler ve güncel verilerle derlenerek
değerlendirilmesidir.
