Order Cladocera (small crustaceans) has an important place in lake ecosystems as they are both consumers of primary producers and prey for larger predator species. As a result, their abundance is a strong indicator of ecological conditions in a lake at a certain time. Cladocera body parts, such as headshields, shells, etc.) are largely silica based and can be preserved inside the lake sediment for long periods of time. Sedimentary sub-fossil records of Cladocera remains allow us to understand past and more recent conditions. Our aim is to determine changes in lake ecological status over time by using abundances of Cladocera sub-fossils at top (present) and bottom(recent past) centimeters of the sediment cores taken from 28 shallow lakes of Turkey. Comparison of the recent past and present states were carried out using Similarity/Dissimilarity Analysis. Furthermore the results were assesed exploring the changes took place in a specific lake through time.

ANALYSES OF ECOSYSTEM-PRIMARY PRODUCTION INTERACTIONS IN THE NORTHERN LEVANTINE BASIN Yilmaz, Elif; Salihoğlu, Barış; Department of Oceanography (2016-10-12) Three areas of different ecosystem characteristics in the Northern Levantine Basin is compared using a 1-D multicomponent lower trophic level ecosystem model developed by SALIHOĞLU, B. et al. (2009) (NAGEM). Main focus was to analyze and compare the carrying capacity (PP) and regulatory mechanisms of the nutrients on lower trophic levels. 26 years’ of historical data obtained from METU-IMS data inventory and CORIOLIS was used to form a climatology, to introduce boundary conditions to the model as well as to...
Review of the distribution of large sharks in the seas of Turkey (Eastern Mediterranean) Kabasakal, Hakan; Karhan, Selahattin Unsal; Sakinan, Serdar (2017-01-01) Observations carried out in the seas of Turkey between 1990 and August 2015, allowed to record in the area 392 large sharks including 10 families, 13 genera and 18 species. Hexanchus griseus was the predominant species, comprising 169 specimens and 43.2% of total captures. Analyses on the periodicity of the captures of large sharks from the seas of Turkey during the last 25 years revealed an increasing trend in annual catches since 1990, which was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Based on catch record...
Comparison of phosphorus reduction alternatives in control of nutrient concentrations in Lake Uluabat (Bursa, Turkey): Partial versus full sediment dredging YENİLMEZ, Firdes; Aksoy, Ayşegül (2013-01-01) In this study, Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP) was used to simulate the impacts of various phosphorus (P) load reduction scenarios on nutrient concentrations in Lake Uluabat, a Ramsar site (a wetland of international importance designated under the Ramsar Convention), including sediment dredging options and source reduction. The model was calibrated for various water constituents including ortho-phosphate (PO43-) and nitrate (NO3-). The calibrated model was used as a management tool to pred...
Assessment of genetic diversity in picea orientalis (l.) link. in genetic resources by microsatellites Özdilek, Aslı; Kaya, Zeki; Temel, Fatih; Department of Biology (2015) Picea comprises about 40 species in the world. One of these species, oriental spruce (Picea orientalis (L.) Link.) is naturally distributed in northeastern Turkey, mostly in Artvin Province and in a part of Georgia close to the coast of the Black Sea region. The limited distribution of species and increased anthropogenic threats to its genetic resources signify the importance of studying genetic diversity of the species to have better conservation and management programs. Here, we report the first high thro...
Ada martısı (larus audouinii) Doğu Akdeniz popülasyonlarının yakın dönemli değişikliklerinin genetik yöntemler kullanılarak anlaşılması Yapan, Batuhan Çağrı; Perktaş, Utku; Karahan, Arzu; Oro, Daniel; Özkan, Korhan (2016-06-03) "Besin zincirinin üst basamaklarında bulunan deniz kuşlarının varlığı ve yayılışı, kıyı ekosistemlerinin sağlığının ve insan faaliyetlerinin deniz ekosistemi üzerindeki etkilerinin izlenmesinde büyük öneme sahiptir. Geçtiğimiz yüzyılda birçok deniz kuşu türü insan faaliyetlerinin doğrudan veya dolaylı etkileriyle üreme alanlarını kaybetmiş ve tükenme tehlikesiyle karşı karşıya kalmıştır. 1960larda birey sayısı 600 çifte kadar gerileyen Ada Martısı (Larus audouinii) da bu türlerden biridir. Her ne kadar günü...
