The Effect Of Disturbances To Habitat Quality On Otter (Lutra Lutra) Activity In The River Kızılırmak (Turkey): A Case Study, İlhami̇ Tüzün, İrfan Albayrak
The Effect Of Disturbances To Habitat Quality On Otter (Lutra Lutra) Activity In The River Kızılırmak (Turkey): A Case Study, İlhami̇ Tüzün, İrfan Albayrak
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Habitat restriction for otters living in a small part of the Kızılırmak River occurred due mainly to 3 causes: dam construction at the upper end, heavy pollution by oil refinery effluent at the lower end and man-made activities such as housing and angling in-between. Sprainting activity was measured to assess habitat use by otters within the area and differences were shown between the sites. Compared to site II, higher sprainting activity was found at the site below the dam (site I), where habitat quality was poorer, as indicated by the water quality index (BMWP), diversity indices (Simpson's and Shannon-Wiever) and …

Observations On Some Behaviours Of Krüper’S Nuthatch (Sitta Krueperi), A Little-Known West Palaearctic Bird, Tamer Albayrak, Ali̇ Erdoğan
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Some intraspecific and interspecific behaviours in Krüper's Nuthatch (Sitta krueperi) populations were observed in Antalya province, southern Turkey. An account of their endemic distribution in Anatolia on the one hand, and the lack of sufficient data on the other, gave rise to the need for such a study. The breeding behaviour in the populations is observed, particularly in the BÜK (Lütfi Büyük Yıldırım research forest) and ELMALI Cedar research forests. The results are given in 2 parts as observed behaviours throughout a year and breeding period, which are mating, nesting, brooding, parental care and rearing and territorial behaviours.
