First Record Of The Genus Diarthrodella Klie, 1949 (Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Paramesochridae) From The Mediterranean Sea, With Description Of A New Species From Turkey, Serdar Sönmez, Suphan Karaytuğ, Serdar Sak
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Both sexes of Diarthrodella ergeneae sp. nov. (Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Paramesochridae), which were collected from the intertidal zone of Kurtpınarı Beach along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, are described in detail. The new species is morphologically most similar to D. convexa Kunz, 1981; D. secunda secunda Kunz, 1954; and D. lancifera Kunz, 1981 according to the setal formula of the swimming legs, but D. ergeneae sp. nov. can easily be differentiated from D. convexa by the ratio of P1 exopod/enp-1, by the lack of an inner seta on P2 enp-2, and by the shape and armature of P5; from D. secunda …

Marine Harpacticoid (Copepoda, Harpacticoida) Fauna Of The Dilek Peninsula (Aydın, Turkey), Alp Alper, Serdar Sönmez, Serdar Sak, Suphan Karaytuğ
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Interstitial and phytal harpacticoid fauna of the mediolittoral zone of the Dilek Peninsula within the border of Aydın Province in Turkey was investigated. Harpacticoid copepods were collected from 7 different localities between 2012 and 2013. As a result, a total of 78 species and subspecies belonging to 48 genera in 18 families were determined. In terms of species richness, the family Miraciidae ranked first with 17 species, followed by Ameiridae with 12 species; Laophontidae with 11 species; Ectinosomatidae with 6 species; Dactylopusiidae, Harpacticidae, Paramesochridae, and Tisbidae with 4 species each; Arenopontiidae and Thalestridae with 3 species each; Peltidiidae and Tetragonicipitidae …

Seasonal Variations Of Abundance And Live/Dead Compositions Of Copepods In Mersin Bay, Northeastern Levantine Sea (Eastern Mediterranean), Şengül Beşi̇ktepe, Kam Wing Tang, Gopikrishna Mantha
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The seasonality of abundance and live/dead compositions of copepods was studied in the northeastern Mediterranean Sea. Zooplankton, chlorophyll-a, and PO4 sampling was performed on a monthly basis from March 2006 to February 2007 at both a coastal station and an open water station. At the coastal station, high phytoplankton biomass was driven by PO4 input from the Lamas River. On annual average, copepod abundance was 53,075 and 140,227 ind. m-2 at the coastal and open water stations, respectively. The most common copepod taxa were Oithona similis, Euterpina acutifrons, Labidocera spp., Oncaea media, and Temora spp. at the coastal station, and …
