Abstract

This research was conducted to reveal the soil nematode fauna of Korugöl, Düzce and to contribute to the nematode diversity of the Western Black Sea Region of Türkiye. Field studies within the scope of the study were implemented in 2021. As a result of the study, 29 families, 45 genera and 46 nematode taxa were identified. 10 nematode taxon, namely Aporcelinus, Baladorylaimus, Dorylaimoides, Euteratocephalus, Labronemella, Laimydorus, Lindseyus, Metateratocephalus, Paractinolaimus and Tripylella are the first report for Türkiye's nematofauna. Classification of nematodes according to their feeding types were: 27.27% bacterivorous nematodes, 2.10% fungivoresnematodes, 1.51% herbivorous nematodes, 16.35% predator nematodes and 52.77% omnivorous nematodes.

Bir göl ekosisteminin nematod toplulukları (Korugöl Gölü Tabiat Parkı, Düzce, Türkiye): Türkiye nematofaunası için 10 cinsin ilk raporları ile ekoloji ve biyoçeşitlilik modelleri

Abstract

Bu araştırma, Düzce Korugöl toprak nematod faunasını ortaya çıkarmak ve Türkiye'nin Batı Karadeniz Bölgesi nematod çeşitliliğine katkıda bulunmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında arazi çalışmaları 2021 yılında yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda 29 familya ve 45 cinse ait 46 nematod taksonu tespit edilmiştir. Aporcelinus, Baladorylaimus, Dorylaimoides, Euteratocephalus, Labronemella, Laimydorus, Lindseyus, Metateratocephalus, Paractinolaimus ve Tripylella olmak üzere 10 nematod taksonu, Türkiye nematod faunası için ilk rapordur. Nematodların beslenme şekillerine göre sınıflandırılması: %27,27 bakteriovor, %2,10 fungivor, %1,51 herbivor, %16,35 predatör ve %52,77 omnivor nematodlar olarak tespit edilmiştir.
