An Updated Zooplankton Biodiversity of Turkish Inland Waters

Abstract

In this study, zooplankton biodiversity in Turkish inland waters is updated by literature review. In 2004, a total of 427 taxa belong to 229 rotifers, 92 cladocerans and 106 copepods have determined in a zooplankton checklist (Ustaoğlu 2004). Between 2004 and 2011, rotifer biodiversity raised from 229 to 341 taxa in the checklist (Ustaoğlu et al. 2012). By the increasing studies on the subject in recent years and as a consequence of reviewing 263 literature from the studies; 5 new genera (Ceratotrocha, Donneria, Octotrocha, Otostephanos, Stephanoceros) and 76 taxa from rotifer fauna; 1 new genus (Kurzia) and 11 taxa from cladoceran fauna; 13 new genera (Calacalanus, Mecynocera, Paracalanus, Lernaea, Oithona, Echinocamptus, Maraenobiotus, Leptocaris, Harpacticus, Heterolaophonte, Metis, Phyllognathopu, Kinnecaris) and 35 taxa from copepod fauna have been added to the zooplankton fauna. As a result, the recent checklist of inland waters zooplankton of Turkey has 661 taxa which include 417 rotifers, 103 cladocerans and 141 copepods namely.

Türkiye İçsuları Zooplankton Biyoçeşitliliğinin Güncellemesi

Öz

Bu çalışma ile Türkiye iç sularında yapılmış olan zooplanktonik çalışmalar incelenerek zooplankton kontrol listesi güncellenmiştir. 2004 yılında hazırlanan zooplankton kontrol listesi ile rotiferlerden 229, kladoserlerden 92, kopepodlardan ise 106 olmak üzere toplam 427 takson saptanmıştır (Ustaoğlu 2004). 2004-2011 yılları arasında yapılan yayınların eklenmesiyle hazırlanan kontrol listesi ile rotifer biyoçeşitliliği 229 taksondan 341 taksona yükselmiştir (Ustaoğlu et al. 2012). Son yıllarda artan araştırmalarla birlikte toplam 263 yayının incelenmesi sonucunda rotifer faunasına 5 yeni genus (Ceratotrocha, Donneria, Octotrocha, Otostephanos, Stephanoceros) ve 76 taxa; kladoser faunasına 1 yeni genus (Kurzia) ve 11 taxa; copepod faunasına ise 13 yeni genus (Calacalanus, Mecynocera, Paracalanus, Lernaea, Oithona, Echinocamptus, Maraenobiotus, Leptocaris, Harpacticus, Heterolaophonte, Metis, Phyllognathopus, Kinnecaris) ve 35 taxa ilave edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, güncel Türkiye içsu zooplankton kontrol listesi 417 rotifer, 103 kladoser ve 141 kopepod olmak üzere toplam 661 taksondan oluşmuştur.
