    Evaluating the frequency, dominance, resemblance analysis and diversity index of bird species in Ilgaz Mountain National Park
    (2017-01-01) Kucuk O.; Evcin O.; Aslan F.
    In this study, bird species inhabiting within Il-gaz Mountain National Park (IMNP) were identified. At 3 different habitat features, the frequency, similarity and dominance analyses of bird species were carried out, and their diversity indexes were determined. We identified 10 Order, 27 families and 54 bird species. According to each family, 35 Passer-iformes, 2 Ciconiiformes, 4 Falconiformes, 1 Galli-formes, 3 Columbiformes, 1 Cuculiformes, 1 Caprimulgiformes, 2 Strigiformes, 2 Coraciiformes and 1 Piciformes were observed. Through this study, 18 new bird species was recorded into avifauna of IMNP. When the most dominant order was Passer-iformes, the least dominant orders were Galliformes, Cuculiformes and Piciformes in IMNP. Sparrow (Passer domesticus) was the most observed bird in the first observation station, while they were White wagtail (Motacilla alba) and Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs) in the second and third observation stations, respectively. The results will enlighten future studies regarding the fauna of the region, biodiversity, protection of bird species populations and future management plans.
