Denizli'deki Dağ Göllerinin Chironomidae ve Chaoboridae (Diptera-Insecta) faunası üzerine gözlemler

Denizli ilinde yer alan Kartal Gölü, Saklıgöl, Karagöl ve Gökçeova Göleti'nin Chironomidae ve Chaoboridae faunasının tespiti amacıyla 2009-2011 yılları yaz mevsimlerinde örnekleme çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Bentik örnekler her gölün litoral ve profundal bölgelerinden 180 µ göz açıklığındaki el kepçeleri ve Ekman-Birge grab ile toplanmıştır. Taksonomik çalışma sonucunda, Chironomidae familyasının 5 altfamilyasına (Tanypodinae, Prodiamesinae, Diamesinae, Orthocladiinae, Chironominae) ait 26, Chaoboridae familyasına ait 1 olmak üzere toplam 27 takson saptanmıştır. Chironominae 16 taksonla baskın olup bu alt familyayı 5 taksonla Tanypodinae izlemektedir. Tespit edilen taksonlar çalışılan lokaliteler için yeni kayıttır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ülkemizin dağ gölleri ile ilgili çalışmalarına hem bir yenisini daha eklemek hem de kendine özgü bir ortam teşkil eden bu habitatların karakteristik olan ortak türlerini çıkarmaya çalışmaktır.

Observations on the Chironomidae and Chaoboridae (Diptera) fauna of the Mountain Lakes in Denizli (Turkey)

In order to determine the Chironomidae and Chaoboridae fauna of Kartal Lake, Karagöl and Gökçeova Pond, samplings were performed in the summer months of 2009-2011. Benthic samples were collected from the littoral and profundal zones of the water bodies by using 180 µ mesh sized hand nets and Ekman Birge grab, respectively. As a result of the taxonomic study, totally 27 species were determined; of them 26 belong to five submailies (Tanypodinae, Prodiamesinae, Diamesinae, Orthocladiinae, Chironominae) of Chironomidae and one to Chaoboridae. The Chironominae subfamily was the dominant group with 16 taxa and was followed by Tanypodinae with 5 taxa. All the determined taxa were firstly recorded from the studied localities. This study aims to add a new one to our country's mountain lakes studies and to determine common specimens which are unique for this environment characteristics.
