Abstract
We present in here the results of the observations about the changes related with altitude and seasonal variation of the ground beetle communities of Turkmen Mountain (Turkey). Totally, 32 Carabidae species belonging to 13 genera and 5 subfamilies were determined from the study area between May 2012-April 2013. The species diversity was monitored by sampling with pitfall traps periodically in every fifteen days. The habitat preferences of each species were examined and habitats were compared with similarity (Jaccard and Sarensen’s) and diversity (Simpson's and Shannon-Wiener) indices. Specific habitat preferences were observed for some species such as Carabus (Heterocarabus) marietti akensis and Licinus (Licinus) merkli. The environmental variables which are effective on ground beetles were analyzed by Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) and the results indicated that the most effective environmental variable on the activities of ground beetle species is the “moist” factor.
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.
