Abstract

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.
城市绿地对候鸟和留鸟的重要性——以伊斯坦布尔- rkiye Tepeören墓地为例
研究目的:探讨城市墓地对鸟类物种多样性的影响及其重要性。研究领域:Tepeören墓地是伊斯坦布尔地区最古老和最具历史意义的墓地之一。材料和方法:在2018/2019年4月至9月期间对鸟类进行了实地研究。在为期12个月的研究期间,研究人员每月对该墓地进行两次访问。该地区的物种名单是通过登记所有在该地区观察到的觅食,住宿,栖息和筑巢的鸟类而创建的。主要结果:共发现鸟类36种,其中10种已确定在区内繁殖。以墓地为繁殖地的主要鸟类是鸦鸦(西部寒鸦),它们利用老橡树的洞穴筑巢。根据2018-2019年对49个活跃巢穴的检查,每个巢穴的平均卵数为4.3个。确定每个巢的羽翼鸟数为1.1只。在目前的研究中,揭示了城市墓地在鸟类多样性方面的重要性。这些墓地中存在的植物物种为鸟类的繁殖提供了合适的筑巢条件,从而支持了城市中鸟类的生存。
