A study on orthoptera (insecta) fauna of Ganos mountain (Tekirdağ)

Up to now, almost 720 Orthoptera species were recorded in Turkey. In spite of the presence of a wealth of studies on morphological aspects of the Orthoptera, a there are only limited number of articles on behavioural aspects of the species in the subfamily. When all these studies for Ganos Mountain (Tekirdağ) are reviewed, it is seen that there is no study about biodiversity aspects. One year-long survey was conducted to assess the Orthoptera diversity in various habitats in Ganos Mountain, located in southern part of Turkish Thrace and 38 species/subspecies that belongs to the Orthoptera order are identified. When 38 identified species were evaluated in terms of IUCN categories, it was determined that 5 taxa "LC" categories in global scale and 1 taxa "EN", 2 taxa "NT" and 35 taxa "LC" category in European scale.
