Abstract

This study aimed at exploring the response of surface-active arthropod communities to fre andfre-induced habitat alteration in a Pinus brutia Ten. forests in southwestern Turkey. Samplings were carried on intwelve study sites by using 36 pitfall traps in burned and unburned sites during two months immediately after freoccurred in August 2004. According to results obtained in two sampling terms, the abundances of all arthropods,insects and ants were higher on the burned site than on the unburned site. The other community parameters such asspecies richness, diversity and evenness were found higher in the burned site for insects and ants. Diptera that wasrepresented mostly by one species, the syrphid fly Eumerus strigatus (Fallen, 1817) was caught in great abundancein the burned site. Colonizing of Orthotomicus erosus (Wollaston, 1857) at burned site in two months after freincreased abundance of bark beetles in the burned site rapidly. Consequently, it was not determined destructiveeffects of fre on abundance of arthropods in spite there were changes in community structures depending on rapidhabitat alterations.

Özet

Bu çalışma, Güneybatı Anadolu Pinus brutia Ten. ormanlarında yangının ve yangın kaynaklı habitatdeğişiminin yüzey-aktif eklembacaklı komüniteleri üzerine etkilerinin araştırılmasını amaçlamıştır. Eklembacaklılarayönelik örnekleme çalışmaları, 2004 yılının Ağustos ayında meydana gelen bir orman yangının hemen sonrasındayanmış ve yanmamış alanlardan seçilen, 12 çalışma alanında 36 çukur tuzak kullanılarak, iki aylık dönem boyuncagerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucuna göre, eklembacaklıların (Şube: Arthropoda), böceklerin (Sınıf: Insecta) vekarıncaların (Familya: Formicidae) bolluk değerlerinin her iki örnekleme döneminde de yanmış alanda yanmamışalana gore daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Böcekler ve karıncalar için hesaplanan tür zenginliği, tür çeşitliliğive eşitlik değerleri yanmış alanda yanmamış alana gore daha yüksektir. Büyük oranda; Eumerus strigatus (Fallen,1817) türü ile temsil edilen Diptera Takımı, yanmış alanda yüksek bolluk değerine sahiptir. Yangın sonrası ikinciayda Orthotomicus erosus (Wollaston, 1857)’un yanmış alanda gerçekleşen kolonizasyonu, kabuk böceklerinin bualandaki bolluğunun ani bir şekilde artmasına neden olmuştur. Sonuç olarak, yangın sonrası ani habitat değişiminebağlı olarak eklembacaklı komünitelerinin yapısında önemli değişimler meydana gelmesine rağmen, yangınınarthropod komüniteleri üzerinde yıkıcı bir etkisi tespit edilmemiştir
