Checklist of Bryozoa on the coasts of Turkey

Abstract

The phylum Bryozoa includes a total of 185 species reported from the Turkish coasts of the Levantine Sea, the Aegean Sea, the Sea of Marmara, and the Black Sea. The class Gymnolaemata is represented by 159 species, followed by the class Stenolaemata (26 species). While the Aegean Sea had the highest species richness (139 species), the lowest bryozoan diversity (8 species) was reported from the Black Sea coast of Turkey. Only 2 alien species, Celleporaria brunnea and Rhynchozoon larreyi, were recorded from the Turkish coasts.

Adding with this total species number of Geometridae fauna of Ordu province was increased from 21 to 85.…”

“…This species was described firstly from Trabzon province and the type specimens collected at 1500m altitude in June. Koçak and Kemal (2009) presented the distribution of this species as Trabzon and Rize. In this study P. gigas collected from Ordu where western side of type location at 1700m altitude in early July.…”

“…There are over 12.000 decrypted species known in worldwide, 3.000 in Palaearctic region, 900 in Europe (Hausmann 2001) and 608 in Turkey (Koçak and Kemal 2009). …”

“…Koçak et al (2007), Toper Kaygın et al (2009), Göktürk (2011 studied on Lepidoptera in some locations of this region and presented some geometrid records recently. But knowledge on Geometridae fauna related with Ordu province base on Can (2008), and Koçak and Kemal (2009). There are 21 species known form Ordu according to these studies.…”

Marine Bryozoa of Greece: an annotated checklist

“…Furthermore, information on Bryozoa from several Mediterranean areas is fragmented in old publications and grey literature; the collation of updated checklists (e.g. Koçak and Aydın Önen 2014) by experts could contribute to the mapping of diversity for understudied taxa and areas (Bailly et al 2016, this special collection).…”
