Abstract

We present in here the results of the observations about the changes related with altitude and seasonal variation of the ground beetle communities of Turkmen Mountain (Turkey). Totally, 32 Carabidae species belonging to 13 genera and 5 subfamilies were determined from the study area between May 2012-April 2013. The species diversity was monitored by sampling with pitfall traps periodically in every fifteen days. The habitat preferences of each species were examined and habitats were compared with similarity (Jaccard and Sarensen’s) and diversity (Simpson's and Shannon-Wiener) indices. Specific habitat preferences were observed for some species such as Carabus (Heterocarabus) marietti akensis and Licinus (Licinus) merkli. The environmental variables which are effective on ground beetles were analyzed by Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) and the results indicated that the most effective environmental variable on the activities of ground beetle species is the “moist” factor.

土耳其埃斯基谢希尔地区 rkmen山甲虫科(鞘翅目)物种组成随海拔梯度和季节变化的变化

本文报道了土耳其土库曼山地面甲虫群落随海拔和季节变化的观测结果。2012年5月至2013年4月，在研究区共采集到蜈蚣科32种，隶属于5亚科13属。采用诱捕法，每隔15天定期取样监测物种多样性。研究了各物种的生境偏好，并比较了生境的相似性指数(Jaccard和Sarensen)和多样性指数(Simpson和Shannon-Wiener)。此外，还观察到一些物种如Carabus (Heterocarabus) marietti akensis和Licinus (Licinus) merkli的特定生境偏好。通过典型对应分析(Canonical Correspondence Analysis, CCA)对影响地甲活动的环境变量进行了分析，结果表明对地甲活动最有效的环境变量是“湿润”因子。

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.
