Turkish Breeding Bird Atlas Pilot Project 2001: Erciyes Mountain and Kayseri Region
... Historical data gathered from observation records between 1946 and 2017 achieved from observation databases (KuşBank, 2017;Trakuş, 2017) personal observation notes and published literature were used (Roselaar 1995;Per et al., 2002;Aksan et al., 2004;Per and Aktaş 2008). The most developed and industrialized twelve provinces in Turkey: İstanbul, Bursa, Ankara, İzmir, Konya, Gaziantep, Denizli, Kocaeli, Adana, Tekirdağ, Kayseri and Mersin ( Figure 1). ...
Turkey is an industrializing and developing country. Overall, 71% of
industrial activities of Turkey occur in twelve provinces. The main
aim of this study was to determine the composition, abundance and
distribution of common species in these provinces. The data sources
used here are observation that recorded between 1946 and 2017
achieved from KuşBank database, personal observation notes and
published literature. According to the findings, the most common ten
bird species in those provinces; The house sparrow (Passer
domesticus), the Eurasian magpie (Pica pica), the hooded crow
(Corvus cornix), the great tit (Parus major), the yellow-legged gull
(Larus michahellis), the common chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), the
blackbird (Turdus merula), the Eurasian coot (Fulica atra), the barn
swallow (Hirundo rustica) and the Eurasian jackdaw (Corvus
monedula). Regional differences have been detected in the
composition, abundance, and distribution of common species. The
composition of species in these provinces has changed within years.
Especially the distribution area, and dominance of the Eurasian
magpie has increased. In the near future, it is expected that there will
be new changes in the composition, distribution, and dominance of
common species due to the increase of industrialization and
urbanization.
... Bird atlas work started in Turkey in 2001 but only a limited number of studies exist. Per et al. (2002) published the Erciyas Mountains Bird Atlas, Aksan et al. (2004) prepared the Palas Lake Bird Atlas and Üker (2006) prepared the Ondokuz Mayıs University campus bird atlas. ...
The aim of the study was to produce for the first time a bird atlas of the Kaş Kekova Specially Protected Area in Antalya Turkey. The whole study area was divided into 25 UTM squares and each square was visited between October 2008 – June 2010, both within the breeding and migration period. A total of 96 bird species were recorded. The most frequently observed birds were: Apus melba (Alpine Swift), Falco naumanni (Lesser Kestrel), Garrulus glandarius (Jay), Parus major (Great Tit), Streptopelia decaocto (Collared Dove), Lanius senator (Woodchat Shrike), Emberiza caesia (Cretzschmar's Bunting), Corvus corone (Carrion crow) and Sylvia rupelli (Rüppel's Warbler). According to the IUCN red list categories : Larus audouinii (Audouin's Gull) and Coracias garrulus (Roller) are near-threatened and Falco naumanni (Lesser Kestrel) is vulnerable.
... ern of available habitats and threats. The purpose is to provide a scientific baseline for landscape and protected area planning, to define the status of the species in Turkey, and to update the recent lists by KASPAREK (1992), KASPAREK & BiLGIN(1996) (1998). As only a few atlas studies have been previously carried out in Turkey (WELCH & WELCH 1998, PER et aL. 2002, PER 2006, ÜKER 2006, this study may serve as a model for future similar studies. ...
In 2002, an Atlas mapping of the breeding birds in Gediz Delta Ramsar Site in western coast of Turkey was performed. The study area was divided into 305 1x1 km square UTM grids. In each UTM grid, 3 point counts with duration of 10 minutes each and separated at least 300 meters were applied. Standard EBCC breeding codes were used for the quantification. Special field recording forms were designed and UTM coordinates, time of day, habitat types, threats and the bird species that were seen and/or heard were noted along with their breeding code for each of the points separately. The study was completed for a total of 152.5 hours of bird atlas work. GIS mapping and analyses were used for the evaluation of the results. Distribution and relative abundance maps for each bird species were prepared. Out of 5591 records, 494 (8.8 %) were classified as confirmed breeding, 963 (17.2 %) were classified as probable breeding, and 2634 (47.1 %) may be classified as possible breeding. A total of 129 bird species were recorded throughout the study. Breeding evidence was obtained for 97 species (75.2 %); 49 (50.5 %) were classified as confirmed breeding, 23 (23.7 %) were classified as probable breeding, and 25 (25.8 %) were classified as possible breeding. Among the breeding species, three species were SPEC 1 (Falco naumanni, Pelecanus crispus, Emberiza cinerecea), 12 were SPEC 2, and 34 were SPEC 3. Among their SPEC statuses, 7 species were vulnerable (Tadorna ferruginea, Buteo rufinus, Burhinus oedicnemus, Vanellus spinosus, Sterna nilotica, Coracias garrrulus and Cercotrichas galactotes,), 4 were rare, 2 were localised, 18 were declining, and 18 were depleted species The details of the survey, the results and some important management suggestions for the Delta will be described.

Atlas mapping of breeding birds in Gediz Delta Ramsar Site on the western coast of
Turkey was performed in 2002. The study area of 305 km2 was divided into 305 1x1 km square UTM grids. Breeding evidence was obtained for 92 species in 291 UTM squares; 47 were classified as confirmed breeding, 22 as probable breeding, and 23 as possible breeding Among the breeding species, three were European species of global conservation concern (Falco naumanni, Pelecanus crispus, Emberiza cineracea), 12 were species with a concentrated population and with unfavorable conservation status in Europe, and 34 were species with their population not concentrated
in Europe but with unfavorable conservation status in the region. Among those with a
threatened status, 7 species were vulnerable, 4 were rare, 2 were localised, 18 were declining, and 18 were depleted species. During the study, various threats were identified in 173 UTM squares out of 291 (59.5%). Among these, the most frequently observed were pollution observed in 30% of the squares, overgrazing in 22% and illegal hunting in 22%.
In this study, the distributions, migration phenology and spatial and temporal observation status of 5 summer migrant
Hirundinidae species (Riparia riparia, Ptyonoprogne rupestris, Hirundo rustica, Cecropis daurica, Delichon urbicum) in
Turkey were evaluated. The observation records of the species were compiled from KuşBank database, personal notes and
from published materials (thesis, article, book, report, trip reports and web pages). In order to reveal the species distributions
during spring and autumn migration periods temporally, distribution maps were prepared using observation data based on 15
days intervals. The 15 days intervaled distributions of R. riparia, H. rustica and D. urbicum revealed that these species showed
latitudinal differences. However, the difference was not clear for C. daurica and P. rupestris because of incomplete data and
because P. rupestris winters along Mediterranean coasts. R. riparia, H. rustica and D. urbicum distributed along Mediterranean
and Aegean coasts in spring until the end of March, spread later first to Central Anatolia and then to northern areas in Turkey
and this pattern reversed in autumn period. The latitudinal climatic differences and the resulting food availability are thought
to be the reasons for such a distribution difference.
Türlerin coğrafik dağılımlarının bilinmesi, biyolojik çeşitliliğin korunması ve yönetilmesi açısından son derece önemlidir. Tür dağılımlarını tam olarak belirlemek için çoğu taksonda sınırlı sayıda veri bulunmakta olup mevcut dağılımları ve iklimsel değişimler neticesinde nasıl dağılım gösterecekleri konusunda ekolog ve doğa korumacılar genel olarak coğrafi bilgi sistemleri ile çeşitli dağılım modelleri yapmakta ve taksonların dağılımlarını ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Türkiye'de geniş dağılım gösteren Karabaşlı çinte (Emberiza melanocephala Scopoli, 1769)'nin dağılım alanının sıcaklık ve yağış parametrelerine bağlı değişimi DivaGIS programında DOMAIN yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlara göre Karabaşlı çinte popülasyonları özellikle Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi ile İç Anadolu bozkırları ve Ege ve Akdeniz Bölgesi'ndeki meşeliklerde geniş yayılış göstermekte olup alpin kuşakta görülmemekle birlikte, Karadeniz Bölgesi'nin kıyılarında artış göstereceği tahmin edilmektedir. Black-headed buntings (emberiza melanocephala scopoli, 1769) ecological niche modelling and its state in Turkey ABSTRACT Understanding the distribution of species is quite important to preserve biodiversity and to its effective management. There is limited sample to achieve the actual distribution of many taxa and hence, ecologists and conservation managers rely mainly on some distribution models to indicate the potential distribution range of a species in consequence of climatic changes. In this study a wide spread summer migrant bird species in Turkey, the Black-headed Buntings (Emberiza melanocephala Scopoli, 1769) distribution in relation to temperature and precipitation changes has been demonstrated with DOMAIN method in DivaGIS program. According the results Black-headed Bunting is widely distributed especially in Southeast Anatolian region, the Central Anatolian steppes and in the oak fields of Aegean and Mediterranean Regions, and while it is not present in alpine belt it will increase in the coasts of the Black Sea Region.
The distribution of breeding birds in the Küçük Menderes Delta in western Turkey
Between 3 and 18 May, 2008, the status and distribution of breeding birds in Küçük Menderes Delta on the coast of the Aegean Sea in western Turkey was investigated. The 49 km ² large study area was divided into 49 1 × 1 km UTM squares. In all squares, 2-3 point counts, i.e. a total of 139 counts, were conducted. From a total of 54 bird species for which breeding evidence was obtained, 19 species (35%) were classified as possible breeding and 23 (43%) as probably breeding birds, while for 12 species (22%) breeding was confirmed. The current distribution of all breeding species is presented in maps. Crested Lark Galerida cristata , Cetti's Warbler Cettia cetti , House Sparrow Passer domesticus and Olivaceous Warbler Hippolais pallida were found in > 50% of all squares. More than 10 breeding species were found in squares containing different aquatic and seasonally flooded habitats along the shore-line of the Aegean Sea and in the surroundings of brackish and freshwater lakes, while in many squares, which contain large portions of agriculturally used land and salt mud-flats, less than 10 breeding species were recorded. Low numbers of breeding waterbirds in the Delta are attributed to the burning of reedbeds during the nesting season and human disturbances, like recreation activities and illegal bird shooting.
