New records and rare taxa for the freshwater algae of Turkey from the Tatar Dam Reservoir (Elazığ)

Abstract

Sampling and identification Phytoplankton samples were taken monthly from five sampling stations in the Tatar Dam Reservoir between January 2016 and December 2016. The samples were collected using a plankton net with a mesh size of 55 µm and fixed with formaldehyde in the field. Permanent slides for detailed diatom observation, together with temporary slides for identification of other algal groups were prepared and examined microscopically with an Olympus BX53 microscope. Photographs were taken using Kameram 5 CMOS digital camera. Identified algal species were checked with the checklist published by Aysel (2005) and the database of Turkish algae (Gönülol, 2017), and determined as new records or rare taxa for Turkish freshwater algal flora. Relevant taxonomic sources are noted for each taxon. The nomenclature follows Guiry and Guiry (2017).

Changes in the diatom community in the great lake (Lurë National Park, Albania) from 2005 to 2017 and first steps towards assessment the water quality

“…Cyclotella cretica var. cyclopuncta was described from Kournas Lake, Crete (John and Economon-Amilli 1990), but also found in Lake Ohrid, Albania (Miho et al 2004), Malo and Veliko Jezero, Croatia (Wunsam et al 1999), or Tatar Dam Reservoir, Turkey (Varol et al 2018). Encyonopsis microcephala is not a rare species and may be locally abundant, but it is taxonomically still not distinguished from similar taxa (Lange-Bertalot et al 2017).…”

Acarlar Longozu’ndan Türkiye Tatlı Su Alg Florası İçin Üç Yeni Euglenozoa Kaydı

“…acuminata Deflandre in Lake Taşkısığı (Sakarya). Varol et al (2018) detected Trachelomonas volvocinopsis Svirenko in Tatar Dam Reservoir (Elazığ). Finally, Maraşlıoğlu (2022) identified 187 Euglenozoa species belonging to 25 basins of Turkey.…”

“…Aysel (2005) reported that there were 159 taxa for Euglenozoa. After this checklist, Maraşlıoğlu et al (2005), Soylu et al (2007), Sevindik et al (2010Sevindik et al ( , 2011Sevindik et al ( , 2015Sevindik et al ( , 2017, Özer et al (2012), Varol and Şen (2016) and Varol et al (2018) identified 25 Euglenozoa taxa as new records. Taşkın et al (2019) reported that there were 210 taxa in the Euglenozoa section of the algae flora of Turkey.…”
