Presence of aquatic insects in freshwater areas of the Mediterranean region (Antalya and Mersin provinces) at the family level and their distribution on the map
Özet
In recent years, faunistic studies have been carried out on aquatic
insect families. However, it is necessary to detect and monitor the animal
diversity of these aquatic areas, which are gradually shrinking as a result of
global warming, the expansion of agricultural areas and the effects of
pesticides used in these agricultural regions. In this framework, aquatic
Coleoptera and aquatic Hemiptera species collected in the Mediterranean coastal
regions from the freshwater areas of Antalya and Mersin provinces in October,
May and July between 2012 and 2023 were evaluated. 2784 insects were collected
in the study area: These are; 99 individuals belong to the order Hemiptera
(Corixiidae, Hydrometridae, Pleidae, Gerridae and Notonectidae) and 2685
individuals belong to the order Coleoptera (Dryopidae, Dytiscidae,
Helophoridae, Heteroceridae, Hydranidae, Hydrophilidae, Hydrochidae,
Haliplidae, Noteridae and Spercheidae). Those collected have yet only been
determined at the family level. Hydrophiliade (Coleoptera) and Corixiidae
(Hemiptera) families were caught in large numbers individually as ordo, but
Spercheidae (Coleoptera) and Pleidae (Hemiptera) families were caught in almost
non-existent numbers compared to previous localities. Additionally, insect
distributions are shown on maps; greenhouse farming activities, which are known
to involve the use of pesticides, and rivers, streams, streams, etc. It has
been noticed that the number of insect samples collected near the coast and in
the lower regions of greenhouse gardens is very low as a result of the use of
water resources such as water resources for agricultural purposes. With this
study, aquatic insects were monitored on a map for the first time in the
research area. In conclusion, Turkey's aquatic insects in order to fully detect
its existence, ecological and faunistic studies are increasing to cover all
provinces. Moreover, it must continue.<o:p></o:p>
