Türkiye'nin Avrupa kısmı, Avrupa ile Asya kıtalar arasında geçiş bölgesi oluşturması nedeniyle her iki kıtanında türlerine ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Ancak şu ana kadar Anadoludan ayrı olarak Türkiye Avrupası zooplanktonik organizmaların tür listesi çıkarılmamıştır. Bu nedenle bölgede bu güne kadar bu konuda yapılan araştırmaların tümü incelenmiştir. 1940'tan bu yana yapılan araştırmaların incelenmesi sonucunda 138 Rotifera, 53 Copepoda ve 65 Cladocera olmak üzere 256 tür listelenmiştir.

This paper focuses on isolation and identification of airborne and waterborne fungi from different parts of Terkos Lake located in Istanbul (Turkey). The quantitative and qualitative fungal composition of the air and water of the Lake was surveyed monthly for a year (August 2000-July 2001). Water samples were taken at five different stations at Terkos Lake. Airborne fungal spore levels were estimated by exposing a petri dish containing Rose-Bengal streptomycin agar medium to air for 15 minutes. A total of 2372 fungal colonies (1032 from air and 1340 water) was counted on 216 petri plates. We isolated twenty mould species belonging to 9 genera. Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, Penicillium expansum and Cladosporium herbarum were the most abundant species (22.0%, 13.4% and 12.9%, respectively). Cladosporium herbarum and sphaerospermum are very common in air samples (29.7% and 27.0%, respectively). Many of the species isolated are rarely in the atmospheric and water environment such as Aspergillus niger and Cladosporium variabile. Statistical analysis revealed a positive correlation between total CFUs and a number of environmental factors.

Larval and adult material collected from July 2012 to July 2013 and previously collected larval material were evaluated taxonomically to determine the Chironomidae (Diptera) fauna of Kırklareli Province. Accordingly, a total of 64 species belonging to the subfamilies Tanypodinae, Prodiamesinae, Orthocladinae, and Chironominae of the family Chironomidae were determined, of which

In order to determine the relationships between the dynamics of benthic macroinvertebrates (both species number and individual number) and environmental variables, sampling was made at four different stations at monthly intervals during a year between March 2004 and January 2005 of Lake Gala which is a part of an important wetland and a national park in European part of Turkey (Enez/Edirne). Altogether, a total of 49 zoobenthic taxa which were grouped as "Oligochaeta", "Chironomidae", and "Varia", comprised of 1,628 individuals in per m 2 at average were recognised in the sampling stations of the Lake. The present study showed that larval chironomids comprising 57% abundance of the total specimens are the biggest part of benthic macroinvertebrates. It is followed by oligochaetes and the group varia comprising 34% and 9% abundance, respectively. Also, it was seen changing that the composition of zoobenthic group dominancy in the Lake as time passes.Furthermore, according to Shannon-Weaner index, species diversity for zoobenthic macroinvertebrate fauna of the lake was found as H'=1.21 at average. Also, similarities of the sampling stations and months, both the dynamics of benthic macroinvertebrates and physicochemical features were evaluated by using Bray-Curtis similarity index.According to Spearman correlation index, relationship between the number of individuals and some physicochemical variables such as temperature, turbidity (light permeability), and depth of the lake was determined statistically significant.

Plankton samples were collected at monthly intervals from Lake Terkos, Turkey, between April 2000 and March 2001. The numerical density of the Cladocera, Cercopagis pengoi and Cornigerius meaticus was studied according to month, season, and stations in this lake, which is a coastal lake of the Black Sea. Average densities were determined as 3789 ind/m 3 for Cercopagis pengoi and 8771 ind/m 3 for Cornigerius meaticus. The maximum level of C. pengoi was in May at 20 • C and for C. meaticus this occurred in September (18 • C). The densities of these two species vary greatly, depending on temperature. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Von April 2000 bis März 2001 wurden monatlich Planktonproben im Terkos See (Türkei) genommen. Die Abundanzen von Cercopagis pengoi und Cornigerius meaticus wurden monatlich, jahreszeitlich und für jede Station am See gesondert bestimmt, der ein Küstensee des Schwarzen Meeres ist. Die durchschnittliche Abundanz betrug für Cercopagis pengoi 3789 ind/m 3 und für Cornigerius meaticus 8771 ind/m 3 , wobei das Maximum bei C. pengoi im Mai bei 20 • C und bei C. meaticus im September bei 18 • C erreicht wurde. Die Abundanzen beider Arten variierten beträchtlich in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur.
