Abstract

Aksaray ilinin farklı bölgelerinden toplanan yirmi toprak örneğinin incelenmesi sonucunda on iki bdelloid rotifer taksonu kaydedildi. Bunlardan Ceratotrocha cornigera (Bryce, 1893) ve C. veleta Donner, 1949 Türkiye’den ikinci kez rapor edildi. En yüksek tür zenginliği Eşmekaya ve Ortaköy lokalitelerinde bulunurken, Şerefli Koçhisar, Topakkaya, Toki, Devlet Hastanesi ve Aksaray Universitesi Kampüsü lokalitelerinden toplanan örneklerde hiç bir tür bulunamadı.

Soil Bdelloid Rotifers in Aksaray (Central Anatolia, Türkiye)

Abstract

Twelve bdelloid rotifer taxa were recorded as a result of the examination of 20 soil samples collected from different regions of Aksaray. Of these, Ceratotrocha cornigera (Bryce, 1893) and C.
veleta Donner, 1949 are secondly recorded from Turkey. While the highest species richness was found in Eşmekaya and Ortaköy localities, no species was found in the samples collected from the localities; Şerefli Koçhisar, Topakkaya, Toki, State Hospital and Aksaray University Campus.
