Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate the saproxylic Coleoptera fauna found in oak trees of different ages in Mersin/Gülnar in the Eastern Mediterranean Region in 2017. Fourty-five window traps were used to sample the beetles on the oak trees. Traps were checked five times, once a month, from June to October. In total, 13 217 individuals from the order Coleoptera were collected and 242 saproxylic beetle species belonging to 44 families were found. In the material, 33 beetle species were identified as new records for the Turkish fauna. Most beetle species were from the Buprestidae (24 species), Anobiidae (23 species) and Tenebrionidae (18 species) families. The highest numbers of individuals were from the Dermestidae (2 354), Elateridae (2 325) and Curculionidae (1 531) families. The highest number of individuals were Xyleborus dryographus (Ratzeburg, 1837) (Curculionidae) and Cardiophorus (Cardiophorus) parvulus Platia & Gudenzi, 2000 (Elateridae) with 1 109 individuals each. Three species were found; namely Protaetia (Eupotosia) mirifica (Mulsant, 1842), Chromovalgus peyroni (Mulsant, 1852) (Cetonidae) and Propomacrus bimucronatus (Pallas, 1781) (Euchiridae), which appear on the IUCN European and Mediterranean red list as Vulnerable (VU).

Abstract

Doğu Akdeniz Bölgesinde Mersin/Gülnar’da yapılan bu çalışma meşe ormanlarında saproksilik Coleoptera türlerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla 2017 yılında yürütülmüştür. Alanda 45 pencere tipi böcek tuzağı asılmıştır. Tuzaklar haziran-ekim döneminde ayda bir kez olmak üzere beş kez kontrol edilmiştir. Coleoptera takımından 13 217 adet saproksilik böcek toplanmış ve 44 familyaya ait 242 adet tür saptanmıştır. Bu türlerden 33’ünün Türkiye saproksilik Coleoptera faunası için yeni kayıt olduğu belirlenmiştir. En fazla böcek türü sırasıyla Buprestidae (24 tür), Anobiidae (23 tür) ve Tenebrionidae (18 tür) familyalarından elde edilmiştir. En fazla birey ise sırasıyla Dermestidae (2 354 adet), Elateridae (2 325 adet) ve Curculionidae (1 531 adet) familyalarından tespit edilmiştir. Birey sayısı en fazla olan türler 1109 adet ile Xyleborus dryographus (Ratzeburg, 1837) (Curculionidae) ve Cardiophorus (Cardiophorus) parvulus Platia & Gudenzi, 2000 (Elateridae) olmuştur. Protaetia (Eupotosia) mirifica (Mulsant, 1842) Chromovalgus peyroni (Mulsant, 1852) (Cetonidae) ve Propomacrus bimucronatus (Pallas, 1781) (Euchiridae) IUCN’in Avrupa ve Akdeniz kırmızı listesinde nesli tehdit altında olan Duyarlı (VU) sınıfında yer almaktadır.
