“…Unlike C. candida, P. villosa is not common in Turkey. Previously, Roca and Baltana´s (1993) and Mezquita et al (1999) suggested P. villosa as a cold stenothermal species at higher altitudes ( > 600 m a.s.l.). Some of the previous studies, however, reported the species in springs, springrelated waters, littoral zones of lakes and ponds located at lower to higher altitudinal ranges (Meisch, 2000;Rossetti et al, 2006).…”

-To understand ostracod distribution and ecology at high altitudes (1659-2889 m a.s.l.), 78 different aquatic sites located in the city of Van were sampled during summer of 2009. A total of 29 ostracod species were recorded in 57 sites. Among the species, Trajancypris laevis (G.W. Mu¨ller 1900), is a new report for the Turkish ostracod fauna. First axis of Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) explained about 68% of the relationships between the 13 most abundant species and environmental variables. Four variables (redox potential, habitat type, pH and electrical conductivity) had the greatest effect on species composition (P < 0.01). Twenty-six species encountered from 38 stations were restricted between 1659 and 1750 m a.s.l. Above 1750 m a.s.l., the numbers of species were not significantly affected by altitude (P > 0.05). Three species (Heterocypris incongruens (Ramdohr, 1808), Ilyocypris bradyi Sars, 1890 and Potamocypris villosa (Jurine, 1820)) occurred extensively from 1650 to 2350 m a.s.l. Spearman rank correlation revealed a negative relationship between Limnocythere inopinata (Baird, 1843) and altitude (r = x 0.894, P = 0.05), while two species (I. bradyi and Prionocypris zenkeri (Chyzer and Toth, 1858)) had a positive correlation to dissolved oxygen (P = 0.05). There was a significantly negative relationship between Ilyocypris inermis Kaufmann, 1900 and electrical conductivity, and H. incongruens showed a significant correlation to station type. Five groups of species were determined by UPGMA analysis. Species in each cluster were grouped according to ecological conditions suitable for them. Results revealed that species ecological tolerances and optimum levels can be species-specific but species with cosmopolitan distributions tend to have high tolerance ranges to different variables, including altitudinal changes.

“…The assemblages of cyclopoids, which are generally rarer than harpacticoids in springs, are often composed of ubiquitary or rheophilic species (Stoch 2000(Stoch -2005(Stoch , 2006. Springs also host a diverse ostracod fauna; nevertheless, relatively few species can be considered truly crenobiont or are specifically found in waters connected to springs (Roca & Baltanás 1993;Mezquita et al 1999Mezquita et al , 2000Rossetti et al 2005;Meisch 2006;Pieri et al 2007). …”
