Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the species composition, diversity, similarity and completeness of cave-dwelling arthropods in cave zones (entrance, twilight and dark zones) in Erdal Şekeroğlu Cave (ESC) (Atabey-Isparta Province) and Kadıini Cave (KIC) (Alanya-Antalya Province) ecosystems in Turkey. The study also aimed to investigate whether these species can be used for mapping cave zones. The samplings were conducted by using aspirator and pitfall trap methods in ESC among 2010-2020 and in KIC in 2017. Hence statistical analyses were performed with the data gathered from the field studies conducted in the same year (2017) in order to evaluate ecological data in the two cave ecosystems homogeneously. During the study, a total of 51 arthropod species, mostly hexapods, belonging to five classes were collected. Biodiversity parameters, similarity index, indicator species analyses, and species richness estimators were calculated for each cave and cave zones. In addition to reporting the distributions of hexapods in cave ecosystems, this paper discusses for the first time if such ecological data can inform cave mapping and exploration.

Özet

Çalışmada, Erdal Şekeroğlu (ESC) (Isparta, Türkiye) ve Kadıini (KIC) (Antalya, Türkiye) Mağaralarının farklı (giriş, alacakaranlık ve karanlık) zonlarında yaşayan arthropod türlerinin çeşitliliğinin, benzerliğinin ve tahmini tür sayılarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca, çalışmada belirlenen türlerin mağara bölgelerinin haritalanmasında kullanılabilirlikleri araştırılmıştır. Örneklemeler, ESC'de 2010-2020 yılları arasında, KIC'da ise 2017 yılında, aspiratör ve çukur tuzak yöntemleri kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. İstatistiksel analizler, iki mağara ekosistemindeki ekolojik verileri homojen olarak değerlendirmek amacıyla, aynı yıl (2017) yapılan saha çalışmalarından elde edilen verilerle yapılmıştır. Çalışmada, çoğu hexapod olmak üzere beş sınıfa ait toplam 51 eklem bacaklı türü tespit edilmiştir. Her iki mağara ve mağara zonları için biyolojik çeşitlilik, benzerlik, biyolojik gösterge ve tür tahminleyici analizleri yapılmıştır. Ayrıca, böceklerin mağara haritalaması ve keşiflerinde kullanılabilirliği de dünyada ilk kez tartışılmıştır.
