Publications

Dear Visitors,

This section is dedicated to showcasing the contributions to the field of Copepoda research within Türkiye. Here, we present a curated collection of publications that are directly associated with the specimens cataloged in the Turkish Copepoda Research Collection (TCRC) and the CUMAPCOP collection.

The TCRC primarily focuses on free-living copepods, with a significant emphasis on marine harpacticoids. Meanwhile, the CUMAPCOP collection is dedicated to parasitic copepods. It’s important to note that the publications listed here do not encompass all Copepod research conducted in Türkiye; instead, they focus on the work related to the specimens within these collections.

Each publication entry in our collection offers a detailed citation, ensuring that researchers and enthusiasts can easily reference the work. More than just a citation, each entry provides a comprehensive overview of the Copepod species studied in the publication. This includes, but is not limited to, new records, original descriptions, redescriptions, and any taxonomic or faunistic analyses undertaken. Our aim is to offer a clear and detailed insight into the specific contributions each publication has made to the understanding and documentation of Copepod diversity in Türkiye.

We believe that the Turkish Copepoda Research Collection and the CUMAPCOP collection will be vital resources for researchers in the fields of taxonomy and faunistics. By cataloging specimens and linking them to their respective publications, these collections serve as a bridge between fieldwork and academic study. They enable scientists and scholars to trace the research history of specific species, understand their distribution, and appreciate the depth of taxonomic work carried out in Türkiye.

Thank you for visiting our Publications section. We hope it serves as a valuable resource for your research and interests in the field of Copepoda.
