Breeding biology, population size and spatial distribution of a common nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos Brehm, 1831) Population at Yalıncak (Ankara)
Özbahar, İlker; Bilgin, Cemal Can; Department of Biology (2005)
Many bird populations are known to show strong territoriality as well as high site fidelity during breeding. The Common Nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos) is one of many such migratory species that annually occupies the same favourable habitat. Especially dominant males prefer to breed in the same area every year, and high fidelity probably assures high breeding success. This study aims to investigate breeding biology, population size and spatial distribution of nightingales at a small area in Yalıncak wit...
Breeding ecology of two tit species (paridae) at METU campus
Kavak, Pınar; Bilgin, Cemal Can; Department of Biology (2015)
Use of nest boxes is a common method to perform ecological research on hole nesting species. The family Paridae is the subject of longest running studies in the field of avian ecology. Despite the usefulness of such an approach, only a handful studies utilizing next boxes have been completed in Turkey. The aim of this study is to investigate the breeding ecology of Paridae species at METU campus , Ankara, which offers marginal habitat for most tree-dependent species. A total of 50 nest boxes were attached t...
Breeding success and reproductive behavior in a white stork (ciconia ciconia) colony in Ankara
Göcek, Çağrı; Bilgin, Cemal Can; Department of Biology (2006)
White Stork ( Ciconia ciconia, Linnaeus, 1758) is a summer visitor and passage migrant in Turkey. Although being widespread in summer near wetlands of Turkey, except for the eastern and western parts of the Black Sea Region, there has been no research on this species involving regular monitoring of nests. In this study, breeding success and survival of nestlings in a population in Kızılcahamam-Ankara as well as behavioral differences among nests and their probable consequences on breeding success were studi...
Nest site selection patterns of a local Egyptian Vulture Neophron percnopterus population in Turkey
Sen, Bilgecan; Tavares, Jose P.; Bilgin, Cemal Can (2017-12-01)
We report the size and density of an Egyptian Vulture population in Turkey and provide insight into its nest site selection patterns. The study was carried out at Beypazar (Turkey), holding one of the densest Egyptian Vulture populations (six pairs per 100 km(2)) in the Western Palearctic. Random Forests analysis revealed that human impact was a potential factor governing the distribution of nest sites, as the pairs clearly preferred to breed away from nearby villages, towns or roads. Utilisation of elevati...
