The effects of heatwaves and short-term warming on greenhouse gas emissions in shallow saline lakes: a synchronized mesocosm experiment in two climate zones of Türkiye Yilmaz, Gültekin; Alves Amorım, Cıhelıo; Ari, Pelin Ertürk; Kuyumcu, Meltem; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Arikan, Onat; Davidson, Thomas Alexander; Audet, Joachim; Karakaya, Nusret; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Jeppesen, Erik; Özkan, Korhan (2026-01-01) Heatwaves are intensifying globally, reshaping the carbon and nitrogen cycles of shallow lakes. In arid regions, concurrent salinization driven by climate change and water abstraction further modifies greenhouse gas (GHG) ...
Changes in microplastic-associated bacterial communities along a salinity gradient in Central Anatolian lakes of Türkiye Gökdağ, Kerem; Pekmez, Tülay; AKCA, GÜLÇİN; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Pacheco, Juan Pablo; Başaran Kankılıç, Gökben; Dede, Cemreay; Özkan, Korhan; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Jeppesen, Erik; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Tavşanoğlu, Ülkü Nihan (2025-01-01) Lakes face anthropogenic stressors such as climate change, salinization, and eutrophication, and microplastics (MPs) now emerge as a new concern since they act as vectors for pathogenic bacteria, giving rise to concern abo...
Species on the move: Impacts of climate change on the spatial range of endemic fishes of the eco-sensitive semi-arid area of the Arabian Peninsula Masoumi, Amir Hassan; Esmaeili, Hamid Reza; Khosravi, Rasoul; Gholamhosseini, Ali; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Jeppesen, Erik (2024-10-15) Climate change is one of the most significant challenges worldwide in the Anthropocene, and it is predicted to importantly affect biological diversity, especially in freshwaters. Freshwater fishes are facing considerable g...
Impacts of Human Activities and Climate Change on Freshwater Fish—Volume II De Santis, Vanessa; Jeppesen, Erik; Volta, Pietro; Korkmaz, Mustafa (2023-12-01)
Land-use and Fish Condition Changes for Over a Decade on Konya Closed Basin, are External Anomalies Affecting the Fish Condition? Korkmaz, Mustafa; Mangıt, Fatih; Yerli, Sedat V. (2023-09-01) Anthropogenic pressures on freshwater ecosystems are growing and pose serious threats to endemic fish species. This study aimed to identify the effects of anthropogenic pressures on an endangered species, Pseudophoxinus cr...
Mesocosm Design and Implementation of Two Synchronized Case Study Experiments to Determine the Impacts of Salinization and Climate Change on the Structure and Functioning of Shallow Lakes Özkan, Korhan; et. al. (2023-07-01) Salinization of freshwater ecosystems is one of the major challenges imposed largely by climate change and excessive water abstraction for irrigated crop farming. Understanding how aquatic ecosystems respond to salinizatio...
Effects of Climate Change on the Habitat Suitability and Distribution of Endemic Freshwater Fish Species in Semi-Arid Central Anatolian Ecoregion in Türkiye Korkmaz, Mustafa; Mangıt, Fatih; Dumlupınar, İlayda; Çolak, Mehmet Arda; Akpınar, Mustafa Berkay; Koru, Meltem; Pacheco, Juan Pablo; Ramírez-García, Arely; Yılmaz, Gültekin; Amorim, Cihelio Alves; Özgencil, İbrahim Kaan; İnnal, Deniz; Yerli, Sedat Vahdet; Özkan, Korhan; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Jeppesen, Erik (2023-04-01) Climate change is affecting freshwater ecosystems globally, particularly those in semi-arid and arid regions. The Central Anatolian Ecoregion (CAE) in Türkiye has a semi-arid climate and is home to numerous endemic fish sp...
Decadal changes in size, salinity, waterbirds, and fish in lakes of the Konya Closed Basin, Turkey, associated with climate change and increasing water abstraction for agriculture Yilmaz, Gultekin; Colak, Mehmet Arda; Özgencil, İbrahim Kaan; Metin, Melisa; Jeppesen, Erik; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Ertugrul, Serhat; Bucak, Tuba; Tavşanoğlu, Ülkü Nihan; Özkan, Korhan; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Jeppesen, Erik (2021-08-09) The Konya Closed Basin (KCB) in Turkey has a cold semiarid to warm Mediterranean climate and hosts the largest Turkish freshwater lake, Lake Beysehir, and the iconic saline Lake Tuz. Using published as well as our own grou...
Main Growth Parameters of a Threatened Species Chondrostoma holmwoodii (Boulenger, 1896) from Tahtalı Reservoir, İzmir, Turkey Korkmaz, Mustafa; Mangıt, Fatih; Yerli, Sedat V (2017-12-01) A diverse genus of the Cyprinidae family, genus Chondrostoma Agassiz, 1832 has a wide distribution. More than half of the species distributes in Turkey, however there is little biological information about them. The aim ...
Actual Status of Eber Lake in Terms of Fish Community Structure Mangit, Fatih; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Su, Ugur; Yerli, Sedat Vahdet (2017-01-01) Lake Eber is a small, shallow tectonic lake, located in the central part of Anatolia. Lake is under effect of pollution and exotic fish species. In order to define environmental degradation within the lake and its effects ...
