Abstract
In this study we have investigated the behaviors of the Little Egret and Night Heron during the breeding season at Poyrazlar Lake (SAKARYA) located in North-West Turkey (40°50’N, 30°28’E). The Ardeid colony consists of 330 adults; 150 of which are Night Heron (45.45%) and 180 are Little Egrets (54.55%). The breeding period starts at the end of March and lasts till the end of August. Neither the Night Herons nor the Little Egrets become active in the breeding period simultaneously. Due to the fact that the Little Egret is a species that is active in daytime and the Night Heron is active at night, making colonial activity continuous throughout the day and night (24 hours). While this situation limits the competition between the species, it provides advantages in terms of breeding success and colonial life.
期刊介绍：
Cessation. Ekoloji is an international journal that focuses on papers that report results from original research on all disciplines engaged in the field of environmental research. We welcome articles that cover the entire spectrum of environmental problems and environmental pollutants, whether chemical, biological or physical. Its coverage extends to all environmentally related issues: air and water pollution, solid waste, noise, recycling, natural resources, ecology and environmental protection. It includes articles on basic and applied environmental pollution research, including environmental engineering and environmental health. All types of pollution are covered, including atmospheric pollutants, detergents, fertilizers, industrial effluents, metals, mining wastes, oil, pesticides, plastics, radioactive materials and sewage. It also includes research papers on ecological and environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity. The primary criteria for publication are scientific quality and ecological/environmental significance.
The journal will be read and contributed to by biologists, applied ecologists, environmental scientists, natural resource specialists, environmental engineers, environmental health specialists, agro-ecologists, veterinaries, agricultural engineers, landscape planners and designers. The journal welcomes full "research papers" and short "research notes", only in the English language.
