In this study, the impacts of zebra mussels on aquatic communities (biology, ecology, natural enemies mussel, effects ecosystems etc.) were evaluated based international scientific literature. last 30 years, mussel studies have been focused their distribution, environmental interactions and harms in different ecosystems. With review a synthesis was made from that cause damage to many around world, hypothesis for reduction ecosystem put forward. As result hypothesis, suggestions such as...

The land snail fauna of the Mut District was surveyed during spring (April-May) 2008. A total 31 species and subspecies-9 (29%) them endemics-belonging to 26 genera 14 families were determined from 41 localities. Dominant Enidae, Orculidae, Hygromiidae. Humidity, vegetation, habitat type determinants richness in study area. Species composition, according cluster multivariate analyses, also found be affected by altitude factor.

The family Valvatidae Gray 1840 has a widespread distribution in the Holarctic. To date, four species of genus Valvata have been reported from Turkey: V. cristata O.F. Müller 1774, piscinalis (O.F. 1774), saulcyi Bourguignat 1853 and macrostoma Mörch 1864.

An investigation was carried out on the native gastropod species in Lake Gölbaşı, Hatay. During research 3 belonging to subclass Pulmonata (Gyraulus piscinarum, Radix labiata, Anisus leucostoma) were detected along with 9 of Orthogastropoda (=Prosobranchia) including Theodoxus jordani, Semisalsa contempta, longiscata, Bithynia phialensis, Valvata saulcyi, piscinalis, Melanoides tuberculatus, Melanopsis praemorsa ferussaci, costata costata. These collected from 4 stations chosen lake....

W. Smith found widespread.  Other species of determined various abundancies frequencies different seasons year.  In diatoms show their best growth spring summer,...

Commonly found in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, Gastropoda members are the class with highest number of species within Mollusca. Freshwater Gastropods which generally listed primary consumer play a crucial part environments by feeding numerous fish vertebrate species. They include that widely distributed rivers lakes used as indicators systems monitoring studies. In Turkey, Black Sea Region is also privileged geography terms its topography historical development history systems, rich...
