Research identifies 6 mollusc taxa in Kepir Glacial Lake and nearby streams, suggesting ecological significance.
This research was carried out between June 2017 and August 2023 in the Kepir plateau in the Munzur Glacier Mountains and the Mercan stream in its surroundings. A total of Bithynia sp. in Kepir Glacial Lake, 1 belonging to Prosobanchia (Bithynia pseudemmerica), 3 belonging to Pulmonata (Physella acuta, Galba truncatula, Radix labiata) and 1 belonging to Bivalvia (Pisidium casertanum) in Mercan Creek. 6 taxa were identified. In addition, water temperature (ºC), dissolved oxygen (mg/L), conductivity (μS/cm) and pH values of each station were measured. Species and parameters in the region have been recorded for the first time.
