Investigation of the Distribution of Aquatic Entomofauna (Coleoptera) Affected by Murgul Copper Mine Area, with New Faunistic Records in Artvin

Öz

66 insect samples from three localities where vicinity of the Murgul copper mine were collected between June to September 2020 to investigate water beetle (Coleoptera) entomofauna of Murgul (Artvin). Totally twelve species, all of which belong to Dytiscidae and Hydrophilidae determined and reported here. Nine of them as Hydrophilidae (6 Laccobius, 1 Enochrus, 1 Hydrobius, 1 Coelostoma), and of which three as Dytiscidae (1 Agabus, 1 Deronectes, 1 Hydroglyphus) were determined. In addition, Hydroglyphus pusillus, Laccobius (Dimorpholaccobius) sculptus and Laccobius (Dimorpholaccobius) sulcatulus were recorded from Artvin for the first time. Laccobius, with six species, identified in the study area, is conspicuous compared to the other two genera. The study highlights that the mine affected habitats should be evaluated and monitored in terms of heavy metal concentration of biotic and abiotic environments.

Murgul Bakır Madeni Sahasından Etkilenen Sucul Entomofauna (Coleoptera) Dağılımının Araştırılması ve Artvin'deki Yeni Faunistik Kayıtlar

Öz

Murgul’un (Artvin) sucul böcek (Coleoptera) faunasını belirlemek için Murgul Bakır Madeni civarındaki üç lokaliteden Haziran-Temmuz 2020 ayları arasında örnekleme yapıldı. Toplamda Dytiscidae ve Hydrophilidae ait 12 tür elde edildi. Bunlardan 9 tanesi Hydrophilidae (6 Laccobius, 1 Enochrus, 1 Hydrobius, 1 Coelostoma), ve 3 tanesi Dytiscidae (1 Agabus, 1 Deronectes, 1 Hydroglyphus) ait türlerdir. Hydroglyphus pusillus, Laccobius (Dimorpholaccobius) sculptus ve Laccobius (Dimorpholaccobius) sulcatulus türleri Artvin ilinden ilk kez kaydedilmiştir. Çalışma alanında tespit edilen altı tür ile Laccobius, diğer iki cinse göre sayı olarak fazladır. Bu çalışma, madenden etkilenen habitatların biyotik ve abiyotik örneklerde ağır metal konsantrasyonu açısından değerlendirilmesi ve izlenmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır.
