Abstract

The diversity and distribution of soil nematodes were studied in Prusias ad Hypium (Konuralp) Ancient City, Düzce (Türkiye) in 2021. A total of 1.388 individuals were discovered within 17 families, 25 genera and 30 species. Species richness and the nematode abundance show closely related distribution at each ecological characteristic and the number of species reaches a maximum where low disturbance of soil is observed. Nematodes feeding with bacteria are dominating the total community (53%) in all sampling sites, followed by omnivorous (31.6%), plant parasitic (6%), fungivorous (4.8%) and predatory nematodes (4.6%).

The essential help with the identification of the order Dorylaimida kindly provided Prof. Reyes Peña Santiago from the University of Jaen, Spain, is most appreciated.

Prusias ad Hypium (Konuralp) Antik Kenti, Düzce (Türkiye)'deki toprak nematodların biyolojik çeşitliliği ve dağılımı

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, 2021 yılında Düzce İli (Türkiye) Prusias (Konuralp) Antik Kenti ve çevresinde yaşayan toprak nematodlarının çeşitliliği ve yayılışları araştırılmıştır. 17 familya, 25 cins ve 30 türe ait toplam 1.388 birey tespit edilmiştir. Örnek alınan alanlara göre nematod çeşitliliği (tür zenginliği) ve nematod sayısı, düşük insan etkisinin gözlemlendiği yerlerde maksimum sayıya ulaştığı, habitatlar arası yakın ilişkili bir dağılım göstermiştir. Tüm örnekleme alanlarında bakterivor nematodlar (%53) nematod topluluğuna sayıca hakimdir. Bakterivor nematodları sayıca omnivor nematodlar (%31,6), bitki paraziti nematodlar (%6), fungivor nematodlar (%4,8) ve predatör nematodlar (%4,6) takip etmektedir.
