Özet

The subfamilies Steninae, Staphylininae and Paederinae (Staphylinidae) of the Siindiken Mountains located in the north-west part of Central Anatolia were studied. Specimens were collected from eight EUNIS (European Nature Information System) habitats, using pitfall and bait traps. In addition, bottoms of rocks or tree logs that were partially or completely decayed as well as underneath the barks and inner or underneath of cattle dung were searched. A total of 1733 specimens of the three subfamilies were collected and a total of 85 species were identified. These were 12 species of the Steninae, 50 species of the Staphylininae and 23 species of the Paederinae. Based on the present results, it was possible to add new habitat data for some species. The highest number of species (67) was found in C3.6 (Unvegetated or sparsely vegetated shores with soft or mobile sediments), followed by G1.7 (Thermophilous deciduous woodland, 40 species). In contrast, 11.1 (Intensive unmixed crops) habitat had the lowest number of species (ten). The diversity and richness of species components were analysed using Shannon's, Berger-Parker's and Simpson's indices, k-dominance and rarefaction curve. Based on these analyses, C3.6 habitat had the highest diversity values. Considering similarity percentages, G1.7 and G3.5 (Pinus nigra woodland) had the highest similarity percentage (50.76%). These are the first data on richness, abundance and diversity of the Staphylinidae (Steninae, Staphylininae and Paederinae) in Turkey. The present results have established the baseline for further analyses of the richness and diversity of the Staphylinidae in the region.
