Nine new records from high mountain lakes (Artabel Lakes Nature Park, Gümüşhane/Turkey) for the freshwater diatom flora of Turkey

Abstract

This study was carried out in 17 high mountain lakes and a pond in the Artabel Lakes Nature Park (Gümüşhane) on August 15, 2013 and August 13, 2016. In the present study, epipelic, epilitic and epiphytic algal flora of lakes were determined and a total of 95 taxa were recorded belonging to Bacillariophyta division. 9 of the taxa belonging to Bacillariophyta were determined to be new records for the freshwater diatom flora of Turkey. These taxa were identified as Aulacoseira lacustris (Grunow) Krammer f. tenuior Houk, Klee and Passauer, Orthoseira roeseana (Rabenhorst) Pfitzer, Cyclotella ambigua Grunow, Planothidium distinctum (Messikommer) Lange-Bertalot, Psammothidium helveticum (Hustedt) Bukhtiyarova and Round, Diploneis petersenii Hustedt, Frustulia crassinervia (Brébisson ex W.Smith) Lange-Bertalot and Krammer, Eunotia mucophila (Lange-Bertalot, Nörpel–Schempp and Alles) LangeBertalot and E. paludosa Grunow

Bu çalışma, Artabel Gölleri Tabiat Parkı (Gümüşhane) içerisinde yer alan 17 yüksek dağ gölü ve bir gölette 15 Ağustos 2013 ve 13 Ağustos 2016 tarihlerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada, göllerin epipelik, epilitik ve epifitik alg florası tespit edilmiş ve Bacillariophyta divizyouna ait toplam 95 takson belirlenmiştir. Bacillariophyta divizyosuna ait taksonlardan 9 ‘u Türkiye tatlı su diyatome florası için yeni kayıt olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu taksonlar, Aulacoseira lacustris (Grunow) Krammer f. tenuior Houk, Klee and Passauer, Orthoseira roeseana (Rabenhorst) Pfitzer, Cyclotella ambigua Grunow, Planothidium distinctum (Messikommer) Lange-Bertalot, Psammothidium helveticum (Hustedt) Bukhtiyarova and Round, Diploneis petersenii Hustedt, Frustulia crassinervia (Brébisson ex W.Smith) Lange-Bertalot and Krammer, Eunotia mucophila (Lange-Bertalot, Nörpel–Schempp and Alles) Lange-Bertalot and E. paludosa Grunow olarak tespit edilmiştir.
