Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the seasonal occurrence and distribution of myxomycete under natural conditions in the field during four different seasons in the Koroglubeli forest of Afyonkarahisar Province, Turkey. Surveys were performed seasonally in the winter, spring, mid-summer, early autumn, and late autumn of 2009. During the four seasons, 33 species from 17 genera were collected, including two new species for Turkey (Fuligo cinerea and Diacheopsis minuta). Also, the Diacheopsis was a new genus recorded for Turkey. Species richness and diversity were higher in spring (17 species, H'=2.66), early autumn (19 species, H'=2.72) and late autumn (17 species, H'=2.62) than those in summer (4 species, H'=1.20). Both spring and late autumn had the highest coefficient of community (CC) values (0.53) and the evenness component of diversity varied between summer and the other seasons. In addition, members of the order Stemonitales were encountered the most during the study. The general patterns of occurrence of myxomycete in the forest ecosystems are also discussed.
期刊介绍:
Cessation. Ekoloji is an international journal that focuses on papers that report results from original research on all disciplines engaged in the field of environmental research. We welcome articles that cover the entire spectrum of environmental problems and environmental pollutants, whether chemical, biological or physical. Its coverage extends to all environmentally related issues: air and water pollution, solid waste, noise, recycling, natural resources, ecology and environmental protection. It includes articles on basic and applied environmental pollution research, including environmental engineering and environmental health. All types of pollution are covered, including atmospheric pollutants, detergents, fertilizers, industrial effluents, metals, mining wastes, oil, pesticides, plastics, radioactive materials and sewage. It also includes research papers on ecological and environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity. The primary criteria for publication are scientific quality and ecological/environmental significance.
The journal will be read and contributed to by biologists, applied ecologists, environmental scientists, natural resource specialists, environmental engineers, environmental health specialists, agro-ecologists, veterinaries, agricultural engineers, landscape planners and designers. The journal welcomes full "research papers" and short "research notes", only in the English language.
