Öğe Camera trap records confirm the survival of the Leopard (Panthera pardus L., 1758) in eastern Turkey (Mammalia: Felidae)(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Karataş, Ahmet; Bulut, Şafak; Akbaba, BurakThe Leopard, Panthera pardus, was thought to be extinct or on the verge of extinction in Turkey towards the end of the 20(th) century. However, as leopards killed by local people were reported from the Turkish-Iraqi border area in the last two decades, we carried out field surveys in these regions in order to find out whether the species has survived. We set camera traps at more than 150 locations in Mardin, Siirt and Sirnak provinces in south-eastern Turkey in 2018 and 2019 and succeeded in obtaining altogether three pictures of leopards, probably of the same individual. The photographs, taken in July and December 2018, and in November 2019, are from two different sites on the northern slopes of Mount Cudi. Together with previous records, these observations indicate that a small population of the leopard has survived in the Turkish-Iraqi border area. Cudi Mountain may serve as a corridor for leopards moving between Turkey, Iraq and Iran. Our records comprise the first photographic evidence of living leopards in Turkey in the wild.Öğe Contributions to the knowledge of mammals in Çorum Province, Turkey(Hitit University, 2017) Bulut, Şafak; Akbaba, Burak; Karataş, AhmetA total of 42 mammal species were determined and new records reported for the first time in Çorum Province, Turkey. Field studies were carried between 2009-2010 and 2015-2016. One species of hedgehog and shrew, four bat species, six rodent species, roe deer and three carnivore species were recorded for the first time. We also expanded the known distribution and confirmed the presence of four rodent species (Spermophilus xanthophyrmnus, Microtus dogramaci, Mesocricetus brandti and Meriones tristrami) in the province. In addition, some information related to the distribution and the habitat associated to some taxon were provided in the study.Öğe Inventory of Large Mammal Species in the Ilgaz Mountains (Cankiri): A Major Ecological Corridor in Anatolia(2020) Akbaba, Burak; Bulut, ŞafakIn order to understand the processes engendered by different faunal elements in natural systems, and to plan how such systems should be managed and conserved, it is essential to start by determining the presence of those faunal elements, even large mammals. The entire range of North Anatolian Mountains provides suitable sheltering and feeding habitats for large mammals. The region stretching between Köroğlu Mountains (west) and Ilgaz Mountains (east) is one of the most important Anatolia’s wildlife corridors. We located and identified the species of large mammals in the Ilgaz Mountains, as well as specific habitats used by them. Field studies carried out in this region during April-August 2017 resulted in 180 records of nine different species of large mammals: Lepus europaeus, Ursus arctos, Canis lupus, Vulpes vulpes, Lynx lynx, Meles meles, Sus scrofa, Cervus elaphus and Capreolus capreolus. To obtain those records took 621 days of studying with camera traps. Among those species, European hare was the most frequently recorded herbivore (101), and brown bear was the most frequently recorded carnivore (19). Both hare and roe deer displayed clustered distribution patterns in the region. The analysis of our records showed that lynx, boar, and fox were strictly nocturnal; whereas hare and wolf were predominantly nocturnal. We also obtained records of the cubs of many large mammal species (bear, lynx, boar, red deer, roe deer) although we did not encounter any large mammal nests during the study.Öğe Terrestrial Vertebrate Fauna of Beytepe Campus, Hacettepe University(2021) Şahin, Mehmet Kürşat; Akbaba, Burak; Bulut, Şafak; Ayaş, ZaferBeytepe Campus (Hacettepe University) is one of the few isolated areas with large scale for wildlife within Ankara metropolis (Turkey). However, there is no checklist regarding to the terrestrial vertebrate (amphibian, reptile, avian and mammalian) fauna of this campus has ever been published so far. Therefore, field studies and literature surveys were conducted towards Beytepe Campus from 2005 to 2019. According to the results, a total of 3 amphibians, 11 reptilians, 93 avian and 14 mammalian species were identified in the study area. Due to increasing urbanization trends in this metropolitan city, this study will provide us a useful guide for further surveys and conservation activities in similar areas.
