Abstract

In this study we have investigated the behaviors of the Little Egret and Night Heron during the breeding season at Poyrazlar Lake (SAKARYA) located in North-West Turkey (40°50’N, 30°28’E). The Ardeid colony consists of 330 adults; 150 of which are Night Heron (45.45%) and 180 are Little Egrets (54.55%). The breeding period starts at the end of March and lasts till the end of August. Neither the Night Herons nor the Little Egrets become active in the breeding period simultaneously. Due to the fact that the Little Egret is a species that is active in daytime and the Night Heron is active at night, making colonial activity continuous throughout the day and night (24 hours). While this situation limits the competition between the species, it provides advantages in terms of breeding success and colonial life.

小白鹭(Egretta garzetta)和夜鹭(Nycticorax Nycticorax)在繁殖季节的活动

在本研究中，我们调查了位于土耳其西北部Poyrazlar湖(SAKARYA)(40°50′n, 30°28′e)的小白鹭和夜鹭在繁殖季节的行为。Ardeid蚁群由330只成虫组成;其中夜鹭150只(45.45%)，小白鹭180只(54.55%)。繁殖期从三月底开始，一直持续到八月底。夜鹭和小白鹭在繁殖期都不会同时活跃。由于小白鹭是白天活动的物种，而夜鹭是晚上活动的物种，使得殖民地活动在白天和黑夜(24小时)连续进行。虽然这种情况限制了物种之间的竞争，但它在繁殖成功和殖民地生活方面提供了优势。

期刊介绍： Cessation. Ekoloji is an international journal that focuses on papers that report results from original research on all disciplines engaged in the field of environmental research. We welcome articles that cover the entire spectrum of environmental problems and environmental pollutants, whether chemical, biological or physical. Its coverage extends to all environmentally related issues: air and water pollution, solid waste, noise, recycling, natural resources, ecology and environmental protection. It includes articles on basic and applied environmental pollution research, including environmental engineering and environmental health. All types of pollution are covered, including atmospheric pollutants, detergents, fertilizers, industrial effluents, metals, mining wastes, oil, pesticides, plastics, radioactive materials and sewage. It also includes research papers on ecological and environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity. The primary criteria for publication are scientific quality and ecological/environmental significance. The journal will be read and contributed to by biologists, applied ecologists, environmental scientists, natural resource specialists, environmental engineers, environmental health specialists, agro-ecologists, veterinaries, agricultural engineers, landscape planners and designers. The journal welcomes full "research papers" and short "research notes", only in the English language.
