“…To preserve the important biological hot spots and structures in wood producing areas, it is crucial to implement an ecosystem-based management approach as well as an appropriate management protocol for these species in protected areas and across the entire forest landscape. Since many beetles are a key food source for woodpeckers and other insectivorous birds, conservation work is also important for the protection of insectivorous birds (Bergner et al, 2015;Kalay Göktepe et al, 2019).…”

This research was conducted to investigate the saproxylic Coleoptera fauna found in oak trees of different ages in Mersin/Gülnar in the Eastern Mediterranean Region in 2017. Fourty-five window traps were used to sample the beetles on the oak trees. Traps were checked five times, once a month, from June to October. In total, 13 217 individuals from the order Coleoptera were collected and 242 saproxylic beetle species belonging to 44 families were found. In the material, 33 beetle species were identified as new records for the Turkish fauna. Most beetle species were from the Buprestidae (24 species), Anobiidae (23 species) and Tenebrionidae (18 species) families. The highest numbers of individuals were from the Dermestidae (2 354), Elateridae (2 325) and Curculionidae (1 531) families. The highest number of individuals were Xyleborus dryographus (Ratzeburg, 1837) (Curculionidae) and Cardiophorus (Cardiophorus) parvulus Platia & Gudenzi, 2000 (Elateridae) with 1 109 individuals each. Three species were found; namely Protaetia (Eupotosia) mirifica (Mulsant, 1842), Chromovalgus peyroni (Mulsant, 1852) (Cetonidae) and Propomacrus bimucronatus (Pallas, 1781) (Euchiridae), which appear on the IUCN European and Mediterranean red list as Vulnerable (VU).

“…Competition among species can influence their distributions and utilization of environmental resources (Han et al, 2019). In previous studius of birds in oak habitats in Türkiye it has been shown that for the number of species a positive effect can be seen from the age of the oaks (Bergner et al, 2015) and the size and density of oaks (Göktepe et al, 2019). For species that rely on the oaks for nesting and foraging, e.g.…”

Aim of study: This study was carried out to determine the effects and importance of urban cemeteries on bird species diversity. Area of study: The Tepeören cemetery is one of the oldest and most historically important cemeteries in the Istanbul region. Material and methods: Field studies of birds were carried out between April-September 2018/2019. During the study period of 12 months, the cemetery was visited twice a month. The species list of the area was created by registering all feeding, lodging, roosting and nesting birds observed in the area. Main results: It was determined that 36 bird species occured in the cemetery, out of which ten species were identified as breeding in the area. The main bird species that used the cemetery as breeding ground, was Corvus monedula (Western jackdaw) that utilizes the cavities of old oaks for nesting. The average number of eggs per nest was found to be 4.3 based on the examination of 49 active nests in 2018-2019. The number of fledged birds per nest was determined as 1.1. Higlights: In the current study, the importance of the city cemeteries in terms of bird diversity has been revealed. The presence of plant species that provide suitable nesting conditions for the reproduction of birds in these cemeteries supports the survival of the birds in the city.

Amaç: Bu çalışma ile; Ordu kent merkezinde bulunan kentsel habitat ağaçlarının mezarlıklar özelinde tespit edilmesi, konumsal olarak dağılımlarının belirlenmesi, sağlık durumlarının ve fiziksel özelliklerinin ortaya konulması, son olarak bir “Kentsel Habitat Ağacı Veri Tabanı” oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır. Materyal ve Yöntem: Çalışma, Ordu kent merkezinde bulunan 10 ayrı kentsel mezarlık alanında yürütülmüştür. Arazi çalışmaları sonucunda tespit edilen habitat ağaçları; bulundukları mezarlık, gövde çapı, tepe tacı genişliği, boy ve sahip oldukları mikro habitat yapıları bakımından incelenmiş, mezarlıklar arasındaki ilişkiler istatistiksel metotlarla ortaya konulmuştur. Araştırma Bulguları: 10 ayrı örnek mezarlık alanında gövde çapı en az 40 cm olan, 23’ü egzotik ve 191’i doğal tür olmak üzere toplam 214 adet habitat ağacı tespit edilmiştir. Habitat ağaçlarının en fazla bulunduğu mezarlık 88 habitat ağacı içeren Şahincili Şehir Mezarlığı’dır. En az habitat ağacı bulunan mezarlık ise Karapınar Mezarlığı’dır. Bunlara ek olarak, gövde çapı en az 35 cm olan 46 adet ağaç tespit edilip, habitat ağacı adayı olarak kaydedilmiştir. Sonuç: Ordu kent merkezinde yer alan mezarlıklar örneğinde yapılan bu çalışma ile, kentsel alanlardaki habitat ağaçlarına ait bilgilerin veri tabanına kaydedilmesi, bu bilgilerin güncel tutulması ve herkes için erişilebilir olmasının önemi ortaya konulmuştur. Çalışma sonucunda kentsel habitat ağaçlarına ilişkin oluşturulan envanter sayesinde, bu ağaçların ekoloji tabanlı kentsel planlama süreçlerine dâhil edilmesi kolaylaşmış olacaktır.
