    Contributions on the southern distribution of Vespertilio murinus Linnaeus, 1758 (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) from Turkiye
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2022) Karatas, Ahmet; Bulut, Safak; Sefali, Abdurrahman; Toprak, Ferhat; Sahin, Mehmet Kursat; Ozkurt, Sakir Onder
    Vespertilio murinus Linnaeus, 1758, has a wide distribution from France to Japan, and from Iran in the south to Scandinavia and Russia in the north. The only records of the parti-coloured bat, Vespertilio murinus known from Turkey so far were based on subfossils, remains from owl pellets, and ultrasound recordings. We present the first records of live individuals from two Turkish provinces, Ardahan and Bayburt. Additionally, based on echolocation call records, its known distribution in the Anatolian Peninsula was proved to be wider. The global distribution of the species has been mapped by using ecological niche modelling. The results revealed that its distribution is highly influenced by precipitation dynamics. Although no cases of domestic cat predation on bats have previously been documented in Turkey, this paper also provides the first case study of V. murinus predated by a domestic cat in Ardahan, in November 2003.

    The wing mites (Acari: Spinturnicidae) of the Turkish bats, including new records
    (Academic Publication Council, 2022) Karatas, Ahmet; Toprak, Ferhat
    This study is based on 93 Spinturnicidae specimens collected on 312 bat specimens obtained from various parts of Turkey. As a result of the study, six mite species were identified: Eyndhovenia euryalis (Canestrini, 1884), Spinturnix acuminatus (Koch, 1836), S. myoti (Kolenati, 1856), S. psi (Kolenati, 1856), S. plecotinus (Koch, 1839), and S. punctata (Sundevall, 1833). Of these species, S. plecotinus and S. punctata are new records for the Turkish fauna.

    Visibility Evaluation and Suitability Analysis of Fire Lookout Towers in Mediterranean Region, Southwest Anatolia/Turkiye
    (Mdpi, 2023) Cosgun, Ufuk; Coskun, Muecahit; Toprak, Ferhat; Yildiz, Damla; Coskun, Sevda; Tasoglu, Enes; Ozturk, Ahmet
    The effectiveness of fire towers in combating forest fires relies on their appropriate observation angles, enabling a swift and efficient response to fire incidents. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of 49 fire towers located within the Antalya Forestry Regional Directorate, situated in the Mediterranean basin-a region prone to frequent forest fires. The assessment encompasses the visibility of the entire study area, including forested regions, as well as the visibility of 2504 forest fires recorded by the towers between 2008 and 2021. Furthermore, the evaluation considers the objectives based on Forest Management Directorates and conducts a location suitability analysis for the six towers with the lowest visibility.We utilized the Viewshed Tool in the ArcGIS application and employed the Best-Worst approach. Two scenarios were devised, considering smoke height at 0 m or 100 m, to determine the visibility of fire lookout towers. In Scenario I, assuming a smoke height of 100 m, only three towers exhibited visibility above 70%. However, in Scenario II, assuming a smoke height of 0 m, no towers achieved visibility above 70%. Scenario I indicated that only two towers possessed a view of more than 70% of the forested region, while Scenario II suggested that no towers met this criterion. For the visibility of forest fires, Scenario I identified seven towers capable of observing more than 70%, whereas Scenario II indicated that no towers possessed such capability. In the tower suitability analysis, the visibility rates varied from 41.18% to 1016.67%. Based on the evaluation results, the current visibility capacities of the 49 fire towers proved insufficient for effective preventive measures.
