Black-headed buntings (emberiza melanocephala scopoli, 1769) ecological niche modelling and its state in Turkey
Abstract :
Understanding the distribution of species is quite important to preserve biodiversity and to its effective management. There is limited sample to achieve the actual distribution of many taxa and hence, ecologists and conservation managers rely mainly on some distribution models to indicate the potential distribution range of a species in consequence of climatic changes. In this study a wide spread summer migrant bird species in Turkey, the Black-headed Buntings (Emberiza melanocephala Scopoli, 1769) distribution in relation to temperature and precipitation changes has been demonstrated with DOMAIN method in DivaGIS program. According the results Black-headed Bunting is widely distributed especially in Southeast Anatolian region, the Central Anatolian steppes and in the oak fields of Aegean and Mediterranean Regions, and while it is not present in alpine belt it will increase in the coasts of the Black Sea Region.
