TÜRKİYE TATLISU ISOPODLARININ (CRUSTACEA: ISOPODA) DAĞILIMINA KATKILAR

Öz

Bu çalışma, Türkiye’nin Marmara bölgesindeki (Gökçeada ve Bozcaada dahil) tatlısu
isopodlarının dağılımına katkıda bulunmak amacıyla gerçekleştirildi. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, 1991 yılı ve 1998-2002 yılları arasında toplam 37 lokalitedeki farklı su kaynaklarından örneklenen materyal değerlendirildi. Çalışmanın sonunda, Asellus aquaticus (L.) Racovitza, 1919’un bölgede oldukça yaygın bir tür olduğu gözlendi. Araştırmada ayrıca, bazı lokalitelerden Asellus aquaticus’a ait alttür ve interseks formlar da kaydedildi.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO DISTRIBUTION OF TURKISH FRESHWATER ISOPODS (CRUSTACEA: ISOPODA)

Abstract

This study was carried out to contribute to distribution of freshwater isopods in Marmara Region (including Gökçeada and Bozcaada islands) of Turkey. For this aim, it was evaluated the material which was sampled during the years 1991, and 1998-2002 in a total of 37 localities from different water resources in the region. End of the study, it was observed that Asellus aquaticus (L.) Racovitza, 1919 is a very common species in the area. Furthermore, subspecies and intersex forms belonging Asellus aquaticus were recorded in some localities.
