Abstract

In this study, observations on distributional patterns of solpugid species (Solifugae) belong to families Galeodidae and Karschiidae on the Bolkar Mountains also bioecological characteristics in the pattern were made. While Galeodes graecus and G. toelgi spreads over the southern slopesand partially on contact zones with the northern slopes, G. anatoliae and G. lycaonis especially spreads along the northern slopes. Eusimonia nigrescens adopt to habitats on both sides of the region and has relatively wider environmental tolerances. There are habitat selections in solpugids depending on the influence of biologic periodicals and abiotic factors such as elevation, humidity, precipitation, soil structures in the area.

Özet

Bu çalışmada Bolkar Dağları’nda yayılışa sahip olan Galeodidae ve Karschiidae familyalarına ait böğü (Solifugae) türlerinin yayılış örüntüleri ve bu örüntü içerisindeki biyoekolojik özellikleri üzerine gözlemler yapılmıştır. Galeodes graecus ve G . toelgi güney yamaçlarında ve kuzey yamaçlarındaki temas bölgelerinde, G . anatoliae ve G . lycaonis özellikle kuzey yamaçlarında yayılışa sahiptir. Eusimonia nigrescens dağların her iki yamacındaki habitatlara uyum sağlamış olup çevresel toleransı nispeten daha geniş bir türdür. Bu alanlardaki yükseklik, nem, yağış, toprak yapısı gibi abiyotik faktörlerin ve biyolojik periyotlarının etkisine bağlı olarak böğülerde habitat seçimi bulunmaktadır.
