Bu kitap, böceklerin sosyal ve kültürel yönden toplumları geçmiş-
ten günümüze kadar nasıl etkilediklerine dikkat çekmek için Hacet-
tepe Üniversitesi, Biyoloji Bölümünde tarafımdan açılan ve anlatılan
“Kültürel Entomoloji” dersinde kullanılması için yazılmıştır. Kültürel
entomoloji konularının bir bölümüne bu kitapta yer verilmiştir.
Kültürel entomoloji konuları öncelikle yaşamın anlamı ile ilgilidir.
Bu nedenle insanlık tarihinde, sözlü ve yazılı geleneklerde, halk ma-
sallarından dünyanın en tanınmış dinlerinin kutsal yazılarına kadar
birçok yerde böceklerin izini bulmak şaşırtıcı değildir.
Kültürel entomoloji, böceklerin ve diğer karasal eklembacaklıların
edebiyat, dil, müzik, görsel sanatlar, tarih, mitoloji, politika, din, halk
bilimi, rekreasyon üzerindeki etkilerini doğa bilimlerini ve sosyal bi-
limleri bir araya getirerek ele alan bir bilim dalıdır.
Entomoloji derslerinin konuları, ağırlıklı olarak böceklerin morfo-
lojileri, fizyolojileri, sınıflandırılmalarına ilişkin bilgileri içermektedir.
Öğrenciler tarafından zor, geniş kapsamlı ve ne yazık ki sevimsiz
bir ders olarak algılanan entomoloji dersinin konusu olan ve günü-
müzdeki en kalabalık canlı grubunu oluşturan böceklerin, insanlık
tarihinin her aşamasında çok önemli rolleri vardır.
Bu kitap öğrencinin, derse farklı yaklaşımını ve böceklerin kültürümüze etkileri konusunda da bilgi sahibi olmalarını sağlamak amacı ile ders kitabı olarak hazırlanmıştır. Böceklerle yan uğraş olarak ilgilenen diğer kişilerin de yararlanabileceği bir kaynak olması da kitap hazırlanırken göz önüne
alınmıştır.

Macroinvertebrate communities and environmental variables were assessed in an Ankara Stream receiving high organic and industrial wastes. Environmental data were used to explain biological variation using multivariate techniques provided by the program CANOCO. The ordination method CCA (Canonical Correspondence Analysis) was applied to evaluate the relationships between environmental variables and distribution of macroinvertebrate genera. Data sets were classified by TWINSPAN (Two Way Indicator Species Analysis). In this investigation, macroinvertebrate communities have been shown by CCA ordination to be related to TOM (total organic matter), ammonia, cadmium, pH, lead, dissolved oxygen, conductivity (EC), phosphate, boron, nitrite and hardness, with TOM, ammonia, cadmium and pH emerging as the most significant environmental variables. Epeorus was a TWINSPAN indicator for the slightly polluted upstream site 1. Physa was a TWINSPAN indicator for the polluted downstream sites.

1. In this study, benthic macroinvertebrate fauna of some running waters were studied in Yedigöller National Park and surrounding areas in Bolu in ]une 2007. 2. The ten sites were choosen from this area. The 8water quality of ten collecting sites were determined using benthic macroinvertebrate species and physico-chemical variables. 3. The saprobic level of the habitats of identified benthic macroinvertebrates in this study were compared with the saprobic level of the collecting sites. 4. Reference habitat conditions of these sites were also determined. 5. Dominance analysis and saprobic index were applied. 6. The benthic macroinvertebrate samples consisted of 137 taxa and 14184 individuals belonging to 9 classes which were Turbellaria, Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Hirudinea, Gordioida, Arachnida, Malacostraca, Entognatha and Insecta. 7.

ABSTRACT The limnological characteristics of Salda Lake, a deep, soda and highly alkaline lake in the Lake District of southwestern Turkey, are presented. Physical and chemical variables indicate that the lake is composed of hydrochemically different water layers formed by groundwater sources located on the floor of the lake. Phytoplankton and zooplankton are characterized by a limited number of species and low dominance reflecting the extreme conditions of the lake. Hydromagnesite stromatolites occur all around the lake margins. The lake is threatened by falling water levels and organic pollution. Recommendations for the conservation of the lake are presented.

ABSTRACT 1. The Hirudinea species collected from sampling sites in various running waters (Yeflil›rmak River, Yedigöller National Park, Büyük Menderes River, Karadut Spring of Ac›göl Lake) and lakes (Ifl›kl› Lake, Beyflehir Lake and Karamuk Lake) in Turkey were evaluated with physico-chemical variables such as temprature, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, nitrite, ammonium, orthophosphate, sulfate. 2. At the end of the study eight species were determined. These are Helobdella stagnalis (Linnaeus1758), Erpobdella octoculata (Linnaeus1758), Erpobdella testacea (Savigny 1822), Erpobdella vilnensis (Liskiewicz 1925), Dina stschegolewi Lukin 1960, Hirudo verbana Carena 1820, Limnatis nilotica (Savigny 1822), Haemopis sanguisuga (Linnaeus 1758). 3. Erpobdella vilnensis is the new record for Turkey. 4. It was observed that H. stagnalis is able to live in oligosaprobic/betamesosaprobic environment and also live in epipotamon part of the stream. 5. It was found that D. stschegolewi is able to live in alpha-mesosaprobic environment. 6. It was seen that H. sanguisuga is able to live in polisaprobic environment. 7. According to results of this study H. verbana is able to live in alpha-mesosaprobic environment in streams and it also lives in oligotrophic, mesotrophic, eutrophic and polytrophic lakes.

As a result of this study, nine species (Prosimulium tomosvaryi, Simulium (Eusimulium) angustipes, Simulium (Simulium) argenteostriatum, Simulium (Simulium) bezzii, Simulium (Simulium) ornatum, Simulium (Simulium) trifasciatum, Simulium (Wilhelmia) balcanicum, Simulium (Wilhelmia) lineatum, Simulium (Wilhelmia) pseudequinum) belonging to three genera (Prosimulium, Simulium and Wilhelmia) were determined from 11 collecting sites. 3. Ankara Stream and tributaries have been affected by agricultural pollution and wastewater from domestic and industrial sources. Accordingly, community structures of Simuliidae and other benthic macroinvertebrates were negatively affected by this pollution types. For this reason, it is very important to take the necessary precautions.

Limnoloji, tatlı suları konu alan ve en eski bilim dallarından biridir. Burada limnolojinin dünyada ve Türkiye'de gelişimi ile günümüzdeki önemine ilişkin bilgiler verilmiştir. Özellikle, küresel iklim değişikliğinin tatlı su kaynaklarına etkileri nedeniyle bu bilim dalının dünyada ve Türkiye'de artan önemi vurgulanmıştır. Türkiye'de, limnologların öncelikle ele alması gereken konulara değinilmiştir. Ayrıca, 2007 yılında Kanada'da yapılan, 30. Dünya Limnoloji Kongresi'nde ele alınan konular özetlenmiştir
