Abstract

Our current knowledge on the Anostraca of Turkey is rather limited, due to a lack of both local specialists and field sampling campaigns. Based on the old data available, mainly published in Italian and German, as well as on the results of recent samplings, we have summarized the present situation in order to update the information available for this branchiopod order in the Turkish fauna. Our purpose is to stress the need for extensive exploration of the territory, and to underline the importance of a proper conservation policy for temporary habitats, which are often overlooked, and hence particularly endangered, both as a result of human negligence, and due the their inherent ephemeral nature. RIASSUNTO Attualmente le conoscenze sulla fauna ad anostraci d?lia Turchia sono alquanto scarse a causa sia della mancanza di specialisti locali, che di campagne di raccolta adeguate. Analizzando dati di letteratura piuttosto datati ma poco diffusi (prevalentemente in italiano ed in tedesco), nonch? informazioni relative a raccolte recenti, abbiamo sintetizzato la situazione e presentiamo in questa nota il quadro attuale delle conoscenze circa questo gruppo di Branchiopodi. Oltre ad evidenziare la n?cessita di indagini ad ampio raggio, desideriamo sottolineare la n?cessita di valutare lo status delle specie present? e l'importanza di una corretta pol?tica di conservazione degli ambienti temporanei, che proprio in quanto tali, sono i pi? minacciati dalle attivit? umane.
