“…Black fly larvae are often significant components of lotic ecosystems and are usually present at very high densities. They are important in such ecosystems as a prey resource to many macroinvertebrate and fish predators (Werner and Pont ) and because of their role as a trophic link (Kazanci and Ertunç , Başören and Kazanci ).…”

We investigated the spatial and temporal distribution of blackfly larvae on a mesohabitat scale atfour different breeding sites in the Brazilian savannah "Cerrado. "A total of 2,385 larvae of 12 different species were collected, and three of the sampling sites revealedspecies richness and diversity peaks in April. A principal components analysis was performed to reduce abiotic data into a smaller set of independent variables, such as precipitation and river size, and subsequent linear regressions showed that Simulium subpallidum was positively correlated with precipitation.This species, along with S. nigrimanum, was negatively correlated withriver size, whereasS. perflavum was negatively correlated with precipitation. Beta diversity was negatively correlated withprecipitation, and black fly taxocenoses were markedly different between wet and dry seasons, as shown through nonmetric multidimensional scaling, suggesting that precipitation playsa major role in structuring these communities, probably because of enhanced drift and the dendritic nature of lotic metacommunities.

The degradation of watersheds due to urban development increases the vulnerability of surface waters to pollutants of anthropogenic origin. Urban streams draining near swimming waters can contribute significantly to the deterioration of water quality. In the study, the microbial quality of the Terme River was investigated seasonally by collecting samples from four different stream sites. Microbiological analyzes were performed using standard methods with membrane filtration. The colony-forming unit (CFU) method determined fecal contamination in samples. The mean number of colonies in Terme River water samples was determined as 712 CFU/100 mL, 278 CFU/100 mL, and 64 CFU/100 mL for total coliform, Escherichia coli, and Clostridium perfringens, respectively. This situation indicates that there was fecal contamination in the stream. According to the bacteriological parameters in the Water Pollution Control Regulation, Terme River was found to be of class II water quality in terms of total coliform bacteria count. The Research results determined that the Terme River is not much polluted in terms of microbiological quality but has values under the pressure of pollution. To not increase the pollution level, the direct mixing of domestic wastes/wastewater, animal wastes, and drainage channels from the settlements and agricultural areas around the river should be prevented. The public should be made aware of the necessary precautions.
