Anadolu sığla ormanlarının Türkiye saproksilik böcek faunasına katkıları

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Anadolu sığla ağacı, Liquidambar orientalis Miller (Saxifragales: Altingiaceae) ormanlarındaki saproksilik böcek türlerinin (Coleoptera) belirlenmesi ve endemik olan bu ağaç türünün böcek biyolojik çeşitliliğine katkısının ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma, L. orientalis türünün en geniş yayılış yaptığı Türkiye’de Muğla iline bağlı iki örnek alanda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Böcekleri örneklemek amacıyla, her iki alanda beşer adet yaşlı (göğüs yüksekliği çapı 36.0-51.9 cm) ağaç seçilmiş ve her ağaçta iki tuzak tipi kullanılmıştır. Tuzaklar 13 Mart 2021 tarihinde kurulmuş ve altı ay boyunca ayda bir kere kontrol edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda 33 familyadan 108 türe ait 1302 adet birey elde edilmiştir. 15 böcek türünün Türkiye faunası için yeni kayıt olduğu belirlenmiştir. Curculionidae (555), Anobiidae (325) ve Tenebrionidae (104) en yaygın bulunan familyalardır. Tür sayısı en yüksek familyalar ise Anobiidae (15), Elateridae (13), Curculionidae (8) ve Tenebrionidae (8)’dir. IUCN’in Akdeniz kırmızı listesine göre Ectamenogonus montandoni (Buysson, 1889) (Coleoptera: Elateridae) tehdide açık (EN) ve Propomacrus bimucronatus (Pallas, 1781) (Coleoptera: Euchiridae)’un duyarlı (VU) sınıfında yer aldığı belirlenmiştir.

Contributions to the knowledge of Turkish saproxylic beetle fauna of Anatolian sweetgum forests

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the saproxylic beetle species (Coleoptera) present in Anatolian sweetgum, Liquidambar orientalis Miller (Saxifragales: Altingiaceae) forests, to reveal the contribution of this endemic tree species to insect biodiversity. Beetles were sampled in two areas in Muğla province of Türkiye, where L. orientalis is the most widely distributed tree species. Five old trees (diameter at breast height 36.0-51.9 cm) were selected in each area and two trap types were used on each tree. Traps were set on March 13, 2021, and checked once a month for six months. At the end of the study, 1,302 individuals belonging to 108 species from 33 families were obtained. Fifteen beetle species were new records for the fauna of Türkiye. The families with most individuals were Curculionidae (555), Anobiidae (325) and Tenebrionidae (104). Families with the highest number of represented species were Anobiidae (15), Elateridae (13), Curculionidae (8) and Tenebrionidae (8). According to the IUCN Mediterranean Red List, Ectamenogonus montandoni (Buysson, 1889) (Coleoptera: Elateridae) is classified as endangered (EN) and Propomacrus bimucronatus (Pallas, 1781) (Coleoptera: Euchiridae) as vulnerable (VU).
