Özet
Bird species diversity at Mount Nemrut (Adıyaman province, south-eastern Turkey)
and in the surrounding areas was studied during the period 2009–2010. Data was
collected using the point-count method at predefined observation sites. Birds of 107
different species were recorded, of which 20 were certainly breeding, 17 were probably breeding, and 29 were possibly breeding in the study area. Including species
reported by other sources, a total of 160 bird species has so far been detected in
the Mount Nemrut area, while the white-throated dipper was recorded for the first
time. Diversity was calculated by using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index. Highest
diversities were detected in woodland habitats (including oak groves), rocky areas
and woodland habitats. Bird diversity showed peaks corresponding to spring and
autumn passage migrations, and bird numbers were highest in mid-winter. Although
part of Mount Nemrut has been declared one of Turkey’s key biodiversity areas
and has already been given the status of a National Park, threats occur, notably the
harmful effects of mass tourism and illegal hunting, because of ineffective protection
measures. Better knowledge of local avifauna and its habitat requirements may help
to ensure better protection of this unique area.
