Abstract

This study was designed to compare the potential differences in the colonization of Chironomidae pupal fauna in variousleaf packs. The study was carried out in Tunca River (Edirne). Three stations were selected in the river and 5 different leafpacks (Platanus orientalis L., Ulmus leavis Pall., Morus alba L., Juglans regia L., and artificial Buxus sp.) were used to takesamples. 20 kg potato bags were used during leaves packaging, prepared 5 packages of each leaves and a total of 25 packetswere placed in each of the stations. Chironomidae pupal samples were collected from June 2012 to October 2012. Thecollected samples were placed in 70% ethyl alcohol, brought to the laboratory and diagnosed under stereo microscope. ThenANOVA test was used to analyse Chironomidae pupae in dates, stations, and leaf packs and 0.05 α statistical significancewas used in all tests. When there was a meaningful difference, the reason was revealed by the Tukey test. Chironomidaepupae were found at most 3, 1 and 2. stations respectively and in leaf species of artificial Buxus sp. and Ulmus leavis. Eightspecies were identified in leaf packs. The Polypedilum (Polypedilum) nubeculosum (Meigen, 1804) was found to be the mostcommon species.

Özet

Bu çalışma, çeşitli yaprak paketlerinde Chironomidae pupal faunasının kolonizasyonundaki potansiyel farklılıklarını karşılaştırmak için tasarlandı. Çalışma, Tunca Nehrinde (Edirne) gerçekleştirildi. Nehirde üç istasyon seçildi ve örnek almak için 5 farklı yaprak paketi (Platanus orientalis L., Ulmus leavis Pall., Morus alba L., Juglans regia L. ve yapay Buxus sp.) kullanıldı. Yaprakları paketlemede 20 kg'lık patates torbası kullanıldı, her yaprak çeşidinden 5 paket hazırlandı ve her istasyona toplam 25 paket yerleştirildi. Chironomidae pupal örnekleri Haziran 2012'den Ekim 2012'ye kadar toplandı. Toplanan örnekler %70'lik etil alkole konularak laboratuvara getirildi ve stereo mikroskop altında teşhis edildi. Daha sonra tarihler, istasyonlar ve yaprak paketlerinde Chironomidae pupalarının analizinde ANOVA testi ve tüm testlerde 0,05 α istatistiksel anlamlılık kullanıldı. Anlamlı bir fark olduğunda, Tukey testi tarafından neden kaynaklandığı ortaya çıkarıldı. Chironomidae pupaları sırasıyla 3, 1 ve 2. istasyonda ve yapay Buxus sp. ve Ulmus leavis’de en çok bulundu. Yaprak paketlerinde sekiz tür tespit edildi. Polypedilum (Polypedilum) nubeculosum (Meigen, 1804) en yaygın tür olarak bulundu.
