Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Çanakkale Kazdağları yamaçlarında Leylek (Ciconia ciconia) popülasyonunun üreme başarısını belirlemektir. Türkiye için yaz göçmeni olan Leylek, aynı zamanda Türkiye’deki uygun habitatlarda üreme faaliyetini de gerçekleştirmektedir. Leyleğin üreme biyolojisi ile ilgili sınırlı çalışma bulunmaktadır. Çalışmada Çanakkale ili Bayramiç ilçesindeki yaklaşık 10 000 ha’lık alandaki 15 yuva gözlenmiş, yuvalardan nicel ve nitel veriler toplanmıştır. 23.03.2021 ile 14.08.2021 tarihleri arasında sürdürülen çalışmada 12 yuvada toplam 49 adet yumurtadan 38 yavru çıkmış ve bunların 22 tanesi yuvadan başarılı şekilde uçmuştur. Çalışma alanı için leyleğin üreme başarısı %45 olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu oran leyleklerin neslinin alanda devam etmesi anlamında yeterli oranda üreyebildiğini göstermektedir. Çalışmamızda Leylek’in üreme biyolojisinin ortaya konulduğu gibi farklı yerlerde de leylekle ilgili üreme biyolojisi çalışmalarının yapılmasının faydalı olacağını düşünmekteyiz.

Reproductive Biology of White Stork (Ciconia ciconia L, 1758) in the Region Kara Menderes River in Çanakkale

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the reproductive success of the stork (Ciconia ciconia) population on the slopes of Çanakkale Kazdağları. The species, which is a summer migrant in Türkiye, also performs breeding activities. There are limited studies on breeding biology. A total of 15 nests in an area of 110 km2 in Bayramiç district of Çanakkale province were observed and quantitative and qualitative data were collected. In the study conducted between 23.03.2021 and 14.08.2021, 38 chicks hatched from a total of 49 eggs in 12 nests and 22 of them successfully flew out of the nest. The reproductive success of White Storks for Çanakkale was determined as 45%. It has been observed that the White Storks can reproduce at a sufficient rate for the species. It would be useful to conduct reproductive biology studies of the species in different areas.
