Gammaridea (Crustacea-Amphipoda) records from Eskişehir province and ıt’s near around

Bu çalışmada Eskişehir ve çevresindeki 60 farklı tatlı su kaynağından toplanan Gammaridea örnekleri incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonunda Gammaridae familyasından, Gammarus pulex pulex, Gammarus fossarum, Gammarus pseudanatoliensis, Gammarus balcanicus, Echinogammarus ischnus ve Niphargidae familyasından Niphargus tauri olmak üzere toplam 6 tür saptanmıştır. Niphargus tauri dışındaki türler bölge için yeni kayıttır. Bununla birlikte Echinogammarus ischnus türü ülkemizde ilk kez bir akarsudan kayıt edilmiştir. Tespit edilen türlerin temel taksonomik özellikleri de kısaca verilmiştir.

Eskişehir ili ve yakın çevresinden Gammaridea (Crustacea-Amphipoda) kayıtları

In this study, Gammaridea specimens collected from 60 different freshwater resources in Eskisehir and it’s near around were examined. As a result of the study, totally 6 species; Gammarus pulex pulex, Gammarus fossarum, Gammarus pseudanatoliensis, Gammarus balcanicus, Echinogammarus ischnus from Gammaridae and Niphargus tauri from Niphargidae family were determined. All species, except for Niphargus tauri, are new records for the region. However Echinogammarus ischnus was firstly recorded from running water in Turkey. Brief notes of distinctive taxonomical features of the species were also given.
