The aquatic Coleoptera (Helophoridae and Hydrophilidae) species contributing the parasitisim and phoresy, with main habitat characteristics in Erzurum and surroundings (East Anatolia)

Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi’ndeki (Erzurum ve çevresi) heloforid ve hidrofilid (Coleoptera) materyali üzerinde parazitizm ve forezi durumu ilk defa çalışılmıştır. 22 heloforid türünün beşinde ve 16 hidrofilid türünün üçünde parazitizm, 16 hidrofilid türünün ikisinde ise forezi durumu tespit edilmiştir. En çok parazitizm bir hidrofilid türü olan Laccobius gracilis Motschulsky’te gözlenmiştir. Bütün sucul akarların ikinci çift kanatların altında taşındığı görülmüştür. Parazitizm/forezi görülen türlerin yerleştiği habitatların temel özellikleri kısaca tartışılmıştır.

Erzurum ve çevresinde (Doğu Anadolu) parazitizm ve foreziye katkıda bulunan Helophoridae ve Hydrophilidae (Coleoptera) türleri ile temel habitat özellikleri

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.
