Abstract

Phytoplankton samples were collected from four different water bodies in the Tigris River basin in 2008. Nine Euglenophyceae taxa at specific and infraspecific level are reported for the first time on Turkish freshwater algal flora. New records come from six sampling sites in the study area. These taxa consist of one Euglena Ehrenberg (E. sociabilis), two Strombomonas Deflandre (S. planctonica and S. pascheriana), four Trachelomonas Ehrenberg (T. nigra, T. aspera, T. borodiniana and T. scabra var. labiata) and two Phacus Dujardin (P. inflexus and P. ovalis). Identification keys and general information on the morphology and taxonomy of the species are briefly described in this paper, with original illustrations.

New Records for the Turkish Freshwater Algal Flora in Twenty Five River Basins of Turkey, Part IV: Ochrophyta

“…These records were mainly found in Susurluk, Sakarya, Fırat -Dicle, Yeşilırmak, Marmara, Doğu Karadeniz, Çoruh, Burdur, and Antalya basins. It has been seen that the contribution to new records is highest in Sakarya and Fırat -Dicle basins which have the largest surface area (Aysel et al, 1993;Öztürk et al, 1995a, 1995bŞahin, 2000, 2007, 2009Yağcı & Turna, 2002;Atıcı, 2002;Baykal et al, 2009;Sevindik et al, 2010Sevindik et al, , 2011Sevindik et al, , 2015Sevindik et al, , 2017Özer et al, 2012;Akar & Şahin, 2014;Yüce & Ertan, 2014;Varol & Fucikova, 2015;Varol & Şen, 2016;Maraşlıoğlu & Soylu, 2018;Şahin & Akar, 2019aŞahin & Akar, , 2019bMorkoyunlu & Aktaş, 2020). As a consequence of these studies, the total number of taxa have increased in Turkey (Taşkın et al, 2019;Maraşlıoğlu & Gönülol, 2020).…”

New Records for the Turkish Freshwater Algal Flora in Twenty Five River Basins of Turkey, Part III: Miozoa, Haptophyta

“…Due to the effects of four different types of climate, and noticeable altitude differences, Turkish lakes have different morphometry and hydrology that support distinct algal diversity. In recent years, many new records were given for the algal flora of Turkey (Aysel et al, 1993;Öztürk et al, 1995a, 1995bŞahin, 2000, 2007, 2009Yağcı & Turna, 2002;Atıcı, 2002;Baykal et al, 2009;Sevindik et al, 2010Sevindik et al, , 2011Sevindik et al, , 2015Sevindik et al, , 2017Özer et al, 2012;Akar & Şahin, 2014;Yüce & Ertan, 2014;Varol & Fucikova, 2015;Varol & Şen, 2016;Maraşlıoğlu & Soylu, 2018), and the total number of taxa have increased (Taşkın et al, 2019;Maraşlıoğlu & Gönülol, 2020). The present study aims to contribute to the algal flora of Turkey.…”

New Records for the Turkish Freshwater Algal Flora in Twenty Five River Basins of Turkey, Part V: Cryptophyta

“…Due to the effects of three different types of climate, and noticeable altitude differences, Turkish lakes have different morphometry and hydrology that support distinct algal diversity. In recent years, many new records were given for the algal flora of Turkey (Aysel et al, 1993;Öztürk et al, 1995a, 1995bŞahin, 2000, 2009Yağcı & Turna, 2002;Atıcı, 2002;Baykal et al, 2009Baykal et al, , 2012Sevindik et al, 2010Sevindik et al, , 2011Sevindik et al, , 2015Sevindik et al, , 2017Özer et al, 2012;Akar & Şahin, 2014;Yüce & Ertan, 2014;Varol &Fucikova, 2015;Varol & Şen, 2016;Maraşlıoğlu & Soylu, 2018;Yüce & Aktaş, 2020), and the total number of taxa have increased (Taşkın et al, 2019;Maraşlıoğlu & Gönülol, 2020).…”
