Wildlife Diversity in Reed beds Around Bey？ehir Lake

This study was carried out to reveal the relation between species diversity calculated by species number data of some mammals and reed beds in northwest of Bey？ehir Lake. The study area, which is approximately 1875 ha, is divided into a total of 75 grids measuring 500 x 500 m size. Sign, faeces and tracks of wild mammals were recorded for each grid in the spring and autumn of 2016. Indications of nine wild mammal were detected in 172 points in spring and 290 points in autumn (Jungle cat, Lynx, Wolf, Fox, Coyote, Wild boar, Wild hare, Badger and Beech marten).The Shannon-Wiener diversity index was calculated for each grid using the species number data obtained for spring and autumn. According to the Shannon-Wiener diversity index calculation results, the mapping process was performed by inputting the calculated value of the grid. The total of the data from two period is used in the Shannon-Wiener diversity map of the all area. Shannon-Wiener diversity of all mammals was obtained as HT:1,581. When compared to the seasons, this value was calculated as H？=1,418 in spring and HS=1,56 in autum
