“…Benthic macroinvertebrates are the most commonly used organisms for biomonitoring the quality of aquatic habitats (Johnson et al, 2006;Rosenberg and Resh, 1993). In Turkey, WFD studies using macroinvertebrates has increased in last 10 years (Akay and Dalkıran, 2019;Arslan, Salur, et al, 2016;Arslan, Kökçü, et al, 2016;Başören and Kazancı, 2016;Bolat et al, 2016;Duran and Akyildiz, 2011;Ekingen and Kazancı, 2012;, 2015, 2017Kazancı, 2015, 2016;Zeybek, 2017;Zeybek et al, 2014).…”

Yeşilırmak River is one of the most important running waters of Turkey, but the water quality of this river has been affected by agricultural and domestic pollution. Dams and hydroelectric power plants also threaten the habitat quality and biodiversity of the river. This research contains investigation of Diptera fauna in Yeşilırmak River and tributaries, determination ecological characteristics of the collecting sites according to System A and System B Classification of Water Framework Directive (WFD), assessment of water quality of the studied sites by measuring the physicochemical variables (water temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, NO2-N, NO3-N, NH4-N, PO4-P) and using some metrics (abundance, number of taxa, Simpson Diversity Index, Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index, Margalef Diversity Index, Evenness). Thirty-three (33) sites were sampled from Yeşilırmak River and its tributaries in June 2010. Diptera individuals were detected in 20 of them. Two thousand four hundred forty-five (2445) individuals belonging to 12 families and 16 taxa were identified in 20 sampling sites. The water quality classes of the studied sites were Class III (moderate pollution) and Class IV (heavily pollution) according to values of physicochemical variables.

This study was carried out in July 2016 in Camili (Macahel) which is Turkey's first and only biosphere reserve area. This study aimed to investigate the Simuliidae species of some streams in Camili Valley, to identify the "reference site" which are important for the Water Framework Directive (WFD), to determine ecological characteristics of the studied sites according to System A and System B Classification of Water Framework Directive (WFD), to explore the relationship between the recorded species and some environmental variables of streams by using CCA technique. For this purpose, 257 individuals of Simuliidae were sampled from nine studied sites. Physicochemical variables (dissolved oxygen, pH, water temperature, electrical conductivity, velocity) were measured at each studied site. In Camili Valley the following species were collected: Simulium (Nevermannia) angustitarse, Simulium (Nevermannia) cryophilum, Simulium (Nevermannia) vernum, Simulium (Simulium) bezzii, Simulium (Simulium) tuberosum, Simulium (Simulium) variegatum. Because anthropogenic stresses were insignificant in the research area, studied sites and Simuliidae fauna of the area were not affected negatively. Also, six of the studied sites have reference habitat conditions.
