Faunustic and morphological studies on ciliates (Protozoa,Ciliophora) from a small pond,with responses of ciliate populations to changing environmental conditions

Bu çalışmada Van'da bulunan Lemna minör ile örtülü bir göletten 19 kez örnekleme yapılmış ve 69 siliyat türü tanımlanmıştır. Fiziksel ve biyolojik parametreler ile siliyat türleri arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek amacıyla istatistiksel analiz yapılmıştır. Toplam siliyat bolluğu esas olarak dipte çözünmüş oksijen; yüzey tabakada Lemna hacmi ve sıcaklık gibi fiziksel ve biyolojik faktörler ile ilişkili görünmektedir. Bazı türler canlı gözlem, gümüş empregnasyon ve morfometri ile ayrıntılı olarak incelenmiştir.

Küçük bir gölette bulunan siliyatlar (Protozoa,Ciliophora) hakkında faunistik ve morfolojik çalışmalar ile siliyat populasyonlarının değişen çevresel koşullara yanıtları

Sixty-nine ciliate species were identified in 19 samples from a small pond covered by Lemna minor in Van, Turkey. Statistical analysis was employed to examine the relationships between dilates and the physical and biological parameters. Total ciliate abundance appears to be related mainly with physical and biological factors such as the dissolved oxygen in the bottom layer and the volume of Lemna and temperature in the surface layer. Some species were investigated in detail using live observation, silver impregnation, and morphometry.
