“…As previously stated (e.g., KÜlkÖylÜoğlu et al 2012c, Yavuzatmaca et al 2017a, the high species diversity was reported in the mid-elevational interval in the present study (Table 2). Whereas the finding of high diversity at low (e.g., Pèrez et al 2015 and high (e.g., KÜlkÖylÜoğlu et al 2012aKÜlkÖylÜoğlu et al , 2016 elevational intervals are also available in the literature.…”

“…When we look at the differences in species composition among the elevational intervals subjected herein (Table 3), especially the species with cosmopolitan distribution (e.g., I. bradyi, C. neglecta, P. olivaceus) tend to contribute with high percentages. The average value differences of water temperature and electrical conductivity among elevational intervals herein (see results) strengthened the changing of ecological variables with elevation as proposed previously (KÜlkÖylÜoğlu et al 2012c, McCain & Grytnes 2010Schindler et al 1990). This kind of change explains the conditions in mid and high elevations.…”

“…In Belarus, the significant correlation of alpha diversity of ostracods with temperature was recorded by Nagorskaya & Keyser (2005) when Higuti et al (2009) suggested that local factors had more influence than regional factor on alpha diversity in Brazil. Other studies in Turkey have suggested that the suitability of habitats (ecological conditions) would be better than altitude, pH, and salinity as explanatory factors for ostracod diversity (KÜlkÖylÜoğlu et al 2012c). Overall, the results of the studies mentioned above and the present study suggest that beta diversity is affected most by regional factors (e.g., elevation, system (open and/or closed basins)) and then by local factors (e.g., electrical conductivity, water temperature, pH) while alpha diversity is mainly under the control of local factors (see below).…”

Total of 26, 22 and 32 sites in Konya, Antalya and West Mediterranean basins in Turkey, respectively, were sampled twice during 2017 to compare the non-marine ostracod diversity. A total of 1787 individuals belonging to 31 species were recorded from all basins. Of which, nine species are common among basins when Fabaeformiscandona fragilis is new for Turkey. High species diversity was found at middle elevational intervals. The highest and lowest Shannon diversity index values were recorded for both Konya (H = 2.19) and Antalya (H = 1.90) basins, respectively. The highest beta diversities values are encountered between closed the Konya and other open basins. Species and environmental variables composition among basins and elevational intervals showed significant differences (p < 0.05, ANOSIM). Of species, cosmopolitans (e.g., Candona neglecta, Ilyocypris bradyi, Psychrodromus olivaceus) provide an important contribution to the differences in diversities among basins and elevational intervals. According to Canonical Correspondence Analysis, elevation appeared to be the common influential variables in all basins. Results suggest that alpha diversity is under the control of local and regional factors when beta diversity is primarily affected by regional factor. Although cosmopolitan species are positive indicators, they seem to make a significant contribution to alpha and beta diversities of ostracods.

“…Except a few species (e.g., L. inopinata ), many nonmarine ostracod species reported inhere tend to be found in a variety of aquatic bodies from low to high elevational ranges. Besides, our results support the idea (Külköylüoğlu et al, 2012, 2013; Yavuzatmaca et al, 2017) that increasing tolerance ranges corresponds to decreasing optimum values. Implication of this view is that species (i.e., cosmopolitans) with high tolerance ranges may reduce their optimum requirements for some of those ecological variables or conditions in water bodies to increase their survival abilities.…”

This study is aimed to understand effective roles of ecological factors on nonmarine ostracods in Malatya province where 125 different aquatic bodies were randomly sampled during 3-10 August 2015. Totally, 24 of 25 species identified were new reports for the province while Cypridopsis lusatica was a new record for Turkey. The most common species Ilyocypris bradyi was collected from 12 different habitat types. Fifteen species based on their percent similarities among habitat types were clustered into five groups. The first two axes of Canonical Correspondence Analyses explained 66.1% relationship between species and environmental variables. Salinity, water temperature and chloride were found to be the most effective variables on species occurrence. Except chloride and oxidation-reduction potential, there was no significant difference in the mean numbers of environmental variables among the sampling sites with and without species (p < .05). Five most abundant species portrayed the highest ecological tolerance ranges for water temperature. Heterocypris incongruens revealed the highest optimum and tolerance range for dissolved oxygen while Heterocypris salina showed maximum ranges for salinity.Increasing numbers of sampling sites did not increase the percent species numbers per site. Species distribution varied among the habitats. Accordingly, species with swimming ability tend to inhabit more stagnant water bodies while species without such ability were found in flowing waters. This implies that species with good dispersion modes may avoid negative effects of changes in ecological conditions. Thus, our results reveal that biotic factors can also be effective on species as much as abiotic ones.

“…Reeves et al (2007) indicated the restriction of groundwater ostracods in the Pilbara region of northwestern Australia to mid-altitude locations since water depth, water chemistry, temperature and conductivity are altered by altitude. Külköylüoğlu et al (2012d) and Rogora et al (2008) showed the negative correlation between altitude and conductivity. Similarly, electrical conductivity herein showed a tendency to decrease with increasing elevations.…”

In order to determine the distribution of ostracods species between sea level and 1133 m a.s.l. in the Sakarya Province of Turkey, 83 different aquatic sites were randomly sampled during 9-12 May, 2014. This sampling yielded a total of 9598 individuals belonging to 33 taxa (31 living). The species Vestalenula cuneata and Kovalevskiella phreaticola were new reports for Turkey. The number of species with males (19) and without males (12) tends to decrease with increasing elevation while there is no significant difference in the number of species per site. This corresponds to a decrease in the numbers of species with (14) and without (17) natatory setae on second antennae (A2). Accordingly, presence of species with/ without natatory setae on A2, with different reproductive modes, and numbers of species changed along with elevation seem to be all mutually independent in the population sampled. The first two axes of Canonical Correspondence Analysis explained 74.4% of relationships between species and environmental variables. Furthermore, two well-known cosmopolitan species (Heterocypris incongruens and Ilyocypris bradyi) were observed in almost all of the elevational ranges. Overall, these results support the prediction that elevation seems to have no direct influence on the presence of species with or without swimming setae in sexual or parthenogenetic populations. Results suggest that unlike non-cosmopolitan ostracods, species with cosmopolitan characteristics may not be limited by elevation.
