A New Species of Bithynia (Gastropoda: Bithyniidae) from an Eutrophic Lake Uluabat (South Marmara Region), Northwest of Turkey

Son yıllarda, Türkiye tatlısu Gastropodları üzerine yapılan araştırmalar önemli bir artış göstermiştir. Prosobranşlar içerisinde yer alan Bithyniidae familyasının tür çeşitliliği dağılım ve ekolojisi hakkında yeterli veri olmaması dikkat çekmektedir. Bithyniidae familyasına ait pek çok tür Balkanlarda ve Yunanistan anakarasında bilinirken, Türkiye'de bu familyaya ait az sayıda türün varlığı bilinmektedir, bunlar arasında; Bithynia tentaculata, B. leachii, B. pseudemmericia, B. phialensis, B. badiella, B. pesicii, B. yildirimi ve Pseudobithynia pentheri, P. yildirimi yeralır. Uluabat Gölünde gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada göl boyunca belirlenen 12 farklı istasyondan limnobentik örneklemeleri yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'nin Güney Marmara bölgesinde yer alan ve ötrofik karakterdeki Uluabat Gölü'nde keşfedilen Bithynia timmii yeni türü tanımlanmıştır. Bununla birlikte, bu yeni türün bulunduğu ortamın özellikleriyle, türün ekolojisi hakkında bilgilerin de verilmesi amaçlanmıştır

Ötrofik Uluabat Gölün'den (Marmara Bölgesi - Kuzeybatı Türkiye) Yeni Bir Bithynia (Gastropoda: Bithyniidae) Türü

Researches concerning freshwater gastropoda in Turkey have increased significantly in recent years. Among Prosobranchia, Bithyniidae are in an interesting position due to limited knowledge available about species diversity, distribution and ecology. Although most of species belong to Bithyniidae known from Balkans and Greece, only few species of Bithyniids have been known from Turkey so far, including Bithynia tentaculata, B. leachii, B. pseudemmericia, B. phialensis, B. badiella, B. pesicii, B. yildirimi and Pseudobithynia pentheri, P. yildirimi. In this study conducted on Lake Uluabat, a limnobenthos survey was carried out from 12 different sampling sites across the lake. This study aims to describe a new Bithynia from the eutrophic Lake Uluabat located in South Marmara Region of Turkey and provide data about the ecology of the new species that living in a restricted location in the lake
