“…Information on the seasonality, dominance and frequency of leaf beetles remains insufficient due to scarcity of the studies conducted (Farrell & Erwin 1988;Takizawa 1994;Basset & Samuelson 1996;Novotný et al 1999;Wagner 1999;Wasowska 2006;Linzmeier et al 2006;Linzmeier & Ribeiro-Costa 2013). Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate as follows: (i) to determine dominance structure and frequency values of collected leaf beetles in the Kovada Lake and Kızıldag National Parks, (ii) to determine how the pattern of adult leaf beetle species composition changes with season.…”

“…A number of ecological studies has been conducted on seasonal variation of beetles up to now (Takizawa 1994;Rowe & Potter 1996;Boiteau et al 1999;Morelli et al 2002;Lucky et al 2002;Wagner 2003;Southwood et al 2004;Linzmeier & Ribeiro-Costa 2008;Grimbacher & Stork 2008;Hernández & Vaz-De-Mello 2009;Şen & Gök 2009;Silva et al 2013;Basto-Estrella et al 2014;Brunke et al 2014;Medina & Lopes 2014), but information on seasonal change between distinct seasons is still scarce (Leksono et al 2005b), because these studies require a continuous, at least year-long, monitoring of many, usually hundreds, of species (Novotný & Basset 1998). …”

Leaf beetles were studied in the Kovada Lake National Park (KL) and Kızıldag National Park (KD) in Isparta province (Turkey) during April-October in 2009 and 2010. A total of 131 leaf beetle species were collected. In total, 88 species were detected from KL and 95 species from KD. Adult activity periods of the collected leaf beetle species were determined and their frequency and dominancy values were provided. The results showed slight differences in terms of the seasonal activity of the species in the two national parks. According to Shannon-Wiener index, the highest leaf beetle diversity among the studied months was found in early June (H': 4.23) and late May (H': 4.17). Sørensen similarity index of the species according to different seasonal periods showed three distinct seasonal periods: a) early April, b) late April to early July, c) late July to late October. Almost all leaf beetles showed a seasonal distribution, with the highest dominance during spring and early summer. The main reason for these different seasonal activities is that leaf beetle species are related to the quality and availability of host-plants.

“…Within Chrysomelidae, Alticini (Galerucinae), with about 11,000 described species (Jolivet & Petitpierre 1976;Furth 1988;Scherer 1988), is the most commonly collected group in different regions of the world using different methodologies (Farrel & Erwin 1988;Takizawa 1994;Basset & Samuelson 1996;Wagner 1999;Novotný et al 1999;Linzmeier et al 2006). The most Alticini species are highly specialized, feeding mainly on Solanaceae, Cruciferae, Resedaceae, Capparidaceae, Verbenaceae, Labiatae and Asteraceae (Jolivet 1988, Jolivet & Hawkeswood 1995.…”
