Abstract

Dünyada 5490 memeli türü yayılış göstermektedir. 1300 türle yarasalar toplam memelilerin yaklaşık dörtte birini oluşturmaktadır. Yarasalar beslenmek, tünemek ve üremek için çok farklı habitatları ve ekosistemleri kullanabilirler. Bu alanların en önemlilerinden biri ormanlardır. Ormanlar, yarasaların kimi zaman tüneme ve barınma yeri iken, kimi zaman da beslenme alanlarıdır. Bu çalışmada, ormanların yarasalar açısından önemi ve yarasaların ormanlarda yaşadıkları genel problemlere yönelik çözüm önerilerine vurgu yapılmak istenmiştir. Türkiye’de yaşayan 39 yarasa türünün 30’unun ormanla doğrudan veya dolaylı yönden ilişkili olduğu ifade edilmiştir. Yarasaların tüneme ve beslenmeleriyle ilgili çalışmalar derlendiğinde, Türkiye’de ormanla ilişkisi tespit edilmiş 30 yarasa türünden 28’inin ormanları beslenme amaçlı kullandığı kaydedilmiştir. Ormanlarla ilişkili olduğu ifade edilen bu 30 yarasa türünden 15’inin ise ormanları tüneme amaçlı kullandığı rapor edilmiştir. Yarasaların ormanlarda yaşlı ağaçları, gevşek kabuk arkalarını, bazı kuş yuvalarını, devrilmiş ağaç kütüklerini, çeşitli doğal süreçlerle oluşmuş ağaç yarıklarını, kovuklarını ve boşluklarını tercih ettiği bilinmektedir. Yarasaların yaşaması muhtemel olan ormanlık alanlarda ışık tuzakları, dedektörler ve ağlar kullanılarak teşhisleri yapılabilmektedir. Ayrıca yarasalara takılan izleme cihazları ile orman içerisinde hangi alanları tüneme ve beslenme amacıyla tercih ettikleri, mevsimsel olarak orman içerisindeki aktivitelerinin nasıl olduğu da izlenebilmektedir. Orman alanlarında bilinçsiz ve kontrolsüz ağaç kesimleri, çeşitli nedenlere bağlı gözlenen habitat parçalanmaları, orman yangınları, böceklere yönelik kimyasal mücadele, madencilik faaliyetleri ve rüzgâr türbinlerinin kurulması gibi insan faaliyetleri, ormanı kullanan yarasaları tehdit etmektedir. Bu tarz olumsuz insan faaliyetlerinin önlenebilmesi için orman amenajman planlarına biyolojik çeşitlilik verilerinin entegrasyonu, böceklerle biyolojik mücadele, bilimsel odaklı çevresel etki değerlendirme çalışmaları ve halkın bilinçlendirilmesi gibi çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.

Abstract

There are 5490 mammal species in the world. Approximately one quarter of them are the bats. The bats use very different habitats to feed, roost and breed. One of the most important habitats, the forests are also used as roosting, resting, breeding and feeding places by bats. In this study, it is aimed to emphasize the importance of the forests for bats and the conservation suggestions regarding the challenges that forests pose for bats. It was stated out that 30 out of 39 bat species in Turkey are directly or indirectly related to the forests. 28 of these 30 species use the forest for feeding and 15 species of them use it as roosting places. It is known that the bats prefer aged trees, loose bark backs, some bird nests, overturned tree logs, tree crevices, cavities and voids formed by various natural processes in the forests. The light traps, detectors, sweep nets and the tracking devices are used to identify the bats and understand their feeding, breeding, hibernation and roosting areas in the forests seasonally. The general threats against the bats in the forests may be summarized as unconscious and uncontrolled tree cuttings, habitat fragmentations, forest fires, chemical pest control, mining activities and establishment of wind turbines. Studies on integration of biological diversity data into the forestry management plans, biological pest control, science-based environmental impact assessment, and public awareness activities are required in order to prevent these problems.
