Erzurum ve çevresinde (Doğu Anadolu) parazitizm ve foreziye katkida bulunan Helophoridae ve Hydrophilidae (Coleoptera) türleri ile temel habitat özellikleri
The aquatic Coleoptera (Helophoridae and Hydrophilidae) species contributing the parasitism and phoresy, with main habitat characteristics in Erzurum and surroundings (East Anatolia)
Cases of parasitism/phoresy were studied on the helophorid and hydrophilid (Coleoptera) material in East Anatolian Region (Erzurum and surroundings) for the first time. Five of 22 helophorid and three of 16 hydrophilid species were presented parasitism while two of 16 hydrophilid species were presented phoresy. Most cases of parasitism were observed in the hydrophilid species Laccobius gracilis Motschulsky. All aquatic mites were carried under the second wings. Main habitat characteristics, placed by the species showing parasitism/phoresy, were also briefly discussed
