Özet

This study was carried out to compare the abundance rates, species, and the number of individuals in colony formation of Odonata and Isopoda benthic fauna in different leaf packs. The study was carried out in Tunca River (Edirne). Three stations were selected in the river and 5 different leaf species were used for sampling. Odonata and Isopoda samples were collected from leaf packs between June 2012 and October 2012. The collected samples were brought to the laboratory by placing them in 70% ethyl alcohol and examined under a stereomicroscope. Then, the ANOVA test was used for the analysis of Odonata and Isopoda fauna according to leaf packs, station, and months, and 0.05 a statistical significance was taken as basis in all tests. When the difference was found significant, the reason was revealed by the Tukey test. Variance analysis test results revealed that the number of individuals in both Odonata and Isopoda differed only by leaf type (artificial boxwood). There was no difference according to station and months. Shannon Weaver indices was applied to leaf varieties and stations. A total of 8 taxa were found, 7 from Odonata and 1 from Isopoda. Species Gomphus flavipes (Charpentier, 1825), Gomphus vulgatissimus (Linnaeus, 1758), Ischnura elegans (Vander Linden, 1820), Orthetrum albistylum (Selys, 1848) and Platycnemis pennipes (Pallas, 1771) (Odonata) are new records for the Tunca River. In addition, some water parameters have been studied.
