Abstract

Different habitat types chosen from Kasnak Oak Forest Nature Reserve (Isparta, Turkey) and 3 plots with vegetation structure, were studied comparatively with Alticinae (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) species composition, its richness and abundance. The study was conducted between the months of April and October at 15-day intervals during 2005 and 2006. Sixty-six sets of data were obtained during the survey, including 22 samplings for each plot. A total of 2650 individuals belonging to 57 species were recorded from the chosen plots. Species richness estimators were used to measure the completeness of the inventories. Values predicted by different non-parametric estimators showed that further sampling effort is needed in the region to assess the actual Alticinae diversity. However, as the species richness of the chosen plots was close to completeness, a superficial comparison could be made in terms of diversity. According to Shannon-Wiener, Simpson and Berger-Parker indices of diversity obtained from 2-year data, forest area dominated by vulcanic oak (VOF) was the most diverse plot followed closely by shrub and meadow lands (SML). Cluster analyses using Jaccard and Bray-Curtis similarity indices revealed a relatively high degree of similarity between Alticinae communities in plots VOF and SML for the whole study period. Similar to species diversity, open areas near roadside (OAR) had lower similarity percentages as compared with the other 2 plots.

Özet

Kasnak Meşesi Ormanı Tabiatı Koruma Alanı (Isparta, Türkiye)’ndan seçilmiş farklı habitat özellikleri ve vejetasyon yapısına sahip üç parsel alanın Alticinae tür kompozisyonu, zenginliği ve bolluğu karşılaştırmalı olarak çalışılmıştır. Araştırma, 2005-2006 yılları süresince Nisan-Ekim ayları arasında 15 günlük periyotlarla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma süresince her parsel alanda 22 örnekleme olmak üzere, toplam 66 veri serisi elde edilmiştir. Seçilen parsel alanlardan 57 türe ait toplam 2650 birey kaydedilmiştir. Çalışma alanlarının tahmini tür zenginliğini belirlemek için çeşitli indeksler kullanılmıştır. Farklı indekslerden elde edilen değerler alanın kesin Alticinae çeşitliliğinin belirlenmesi için daha fazla örneklemeye ihtiyaç olduğunu göstermiştir. Bununla birlikte seçilen parsel alanların tür zenginliği tahmini rakamlarayakın olduğundan çeşitlilik açısından yüzeysel bir karşılaştırma yapmak mümkün olmuştur. İki yıllık verilerden elde edilen Shannon-Wiener, Simpson ve Berger-Parker çeşitlilik indeks sonuçlarına göre Kasnak meşesinin yoğun olduğu ormanlık alan (VOF) en çeşitli parsel olurken, çalı ağırlıklı çayırlık alan (SML) onu yakından takip etmiştir. Jaccard veBray-Curtis benzerlik indeksleri, tüm çalışma genelinde ormanlık alan ve çayırlık alanın daha yakın ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Yol kenarına yakın açık alan (OAR) ise, tür çeşitliliğinde olduğu gibi benzerlik açısından da diğer iki alana uzak kalmıştır.
