“…The Gulf of Antalya ostracod assemblage was compared with ostracod assemblages found in studies carried out in Aegean Islands (Sissing, 1972;Adriatic Sea (Bonaduce et al, 1975;Breman, 1975), Algeria (Yassini, 1979), Gökçeada-Bozcaada-Çanakkale (Şafak, 1999;Meriç et al, 2002;Meriç et al, 2009a;Öner et al, 2013), Sea of Marmara (Tunoğlu, 1999;Nazik, 2001;Kubanç, C. 2002;Kubanç, N. 2005;Kirci-Elmas et al, 2007), western Black Sea (Kiliç, 2001;Ongan et al, 2009;), Izmir (Meriç et al, 2011;2012b), Edremit Bay (Meriç, 2012c), and in Mediterranean (Nazik, 1994;Şafak, 2003, 2008Ertekin and Tunoğlu, 2008); so big similarities in genera and species were identified. It was also determined that Aurila convexa, Loxoconcha rhomboidea, Cytheridea neapolitana, Xestoleberis communis, Xestoleberis dispar, Jugosocythereis prava, Neonesidea corpulenta and Urocythereis margaritifera species were also widespread.…”
