Abstract
AbstractIn Türkiye, the family Bithyniidae is represented by two genera: Bithynia (Leach, 1818) and Pseudobithynia (Glöer & Pešić, 2006). Recent studies have shown that Bithyniidae species have a broad distribution across southeastern Europe, including Greece, Montenegro, and Bulgaria. In Türkiye, a total of 14 species have been documented so far, with nine belonging to the genus Bithynia and five to Pseudobithynia. We found a new Bithynia species in Kocaçay Stream, situated in the southern Marmara Region. This newly identified species has been compared with all known congeners from nearby ecosystems in Türkiye and neighbouring countries.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:C9665C20-F606-4763-8C82-E0DCFB23C7D8Keywords: Bithynia alii sp. nprotected wetlandfreshwater molluscs AcknowledgementsWe would like to thank the anonymous referees for making constructive comments.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThe Research Foundation of Uludağ University financed this study under the project No: DDP(F)-2018/13.
期刊介绍:
Zoology in the Middle East is a journal which publishes original papers and review papers on ecology, zoogeography, animal biology, biodiversity, faunistics, systematics and morphology of the Middle East. It seeks to further the understanding of the Middle East as a zoogeographic unit and aims at improving the interchange of knowledge and ideas between specialists on different subjects and taxa.
