- Abstract
Baetis milani was first described by Godunko, Prokopov & Soldan in 2004 from Crimean Peninsula (Ukraine). They clearly stated that B. milani belongs to Rhodobaetis subgenus. B. milani, which is also a member of rhodani species-group, was given as endemic to Crimean Peninsula in the first description by Godunko, Prokopov & Soldan 2004. Then, it was recorded by Türkmen and Özkan in Kapıdağ Peninsula (Marmara Sea) in Turkey in 2011. Later, in a comprehensive study that was conducted in the Eastern part of Black Sea Region in Turkey, Türkmen (2013) gave larval records of B. milani from eight collecting sites. In this study, habitat characteristics, such as preferences of stream zonation, substrate, altitude, current, habitat, along with physico-chemical variables range, such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, pH, PO4-P, NO2-N, NO3-N, NH4-N and SO4 were given and discussed. In total, 184 B. milani individuals were recorded from eight collecting sites. According to the results, B. milani species were found from hypocrenon to metarhithron parts of the streams in this study. It was observed that this species preferred oligosaprobic and beta-mesosaprobic habitats.
