Some Mycetozoa (Myxomycetes) Members from Zorkun High Plateau (Osmaniye)

Abstract

Myxomycete samples collected from 4 different localities from Zorkun Plateau (Osmaniye-Turkey) between 2014- 2016. As a result of field and laboratory studies 28 species belonging to 9 families and 16 genera were determined. Among them, seven species were collected only from nature, 16 were obtained by Moist Chamber Technique in laboratory, and 5 species were obtained both from nature and by Moist Chamber Technique. Echinostelium minutum, Cribraria cancellata, Didymium difforme, Didymium squamulosum, Physarum album, and Arcyria cinerea are the most common species. Ten species were found to be common and 12 are rare or occasional. Species/genus ratio (S/G) is 1.75. The determined species are given together with habitats, substrates, coordinates, collection dates, voucher numbers and prevalencies.

Zorkun Yaylası (Osmaniye)’ndan Bazı Mycetozoa (Myxomycetes) Üyeleri

Abstract

Miksomiset örnekleri 2014-2016 yılları arasında Zorkun Yaylasından (Osmaniye-Türkiye) 4 farklı lokaliteden toplandı. Arazi ve laboratuvar çalışmaları sonucunda 9 familya ve 16 cinse ait 28 tür tespit edilmiştir. Toplanan örneklerden 7 tür sadece doğal ortamdan, 16 tür Nem Odası Tekniği ilelaboratuvar şartlarında ve 5 tür ise hem doğal ortamdan, hem de Nem Odası Tekniği ile elde edilmiştir. Echinostelium minutum, Cribraria cancellata, Didymium difforme, Didymium squamulosum, Physarum album, ve Arcyria cinerea en yaygın türlerdir. On tür yaygın, 12 tür de arasıra görülen olarak belirlenmiştir. Tür/Cins oranı 1.75 olarak bulunmuştur. Belirlenen türler habitat, substrat, konum koordinatı, toplanma tarihi, toplayıcı numaraları ve yaygınlık durumları ile birlikte listelenmiştir.
