Abstract:
Bird species diversity at Mount Nemrut (Adıyaman province, south-eastern Turkey) and in the surrounding areas was studied during the period 2009–2010. Data was collected using the point-count method at predefined observation sites. Birds of 107 different species were recorded, of which 20 were certainly breeding, 17 were probably breeding, and 29 were possibly breeding in the study area. Including species reported by other sources, a total of 160 bird species has so far been detected in the Mount Nemrut area, while the white-throated dipper was recorded for the first time. Diversity was calculated by using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index. Highest diversities were detected in woodland habitats (including oak groves), rocky areas and woodland habitats. Bird diversity showed peaks corresponding to spring and autumn passage migrations, and bird numbers were highest in mid-winter. Although part of Mount Nemrut has been declared one of Turkey’s key biodiversity areas and has already been given the status of a National Park, threats occur, notably the harmful effects of mass tourism and illegal hunting, because of ineffective protection measures. Better knowledge of local avifauna and its habitat requirements may help to ensure better protection of this unique area.

The journal “eco.mont” – Journal of protected mountain areas research and management – was published for the first time in June 2009.
The journal was founded as a joint initiative of the Alpine Network of Protected Areas (ALPARC), the International Scientific Committee on Research in the Alps (ISCAR), the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the University of Innsbruck.
The journal aims to highlight research on and management issues in protected areas in the Alps without excluding other protected mountain areas in Europe or overseas. Its target audiences are scientists from all related disciplines, managers of protected areas and interested individuals including practitioners, visitors, teachers, etc.
The journal presents peer-reviewed articles in English by authors who research protected mountain areas and management issues within these areas. It's published twice a year as a collaboration of the Austrian Academy of Sciences Press – responsible for the e-version – and Innsbruck University Press – responsible for the print version.
Die Zeitschrift „eco.mont“ – Zeitschrift zur Forschung in Gebirgsschutzgebieten – erschien im Juni 2009 zum ersten Mal. Die Zeitschrift wurde auf Initiative des Netzwerks Alpiner Schutzgebiete (ALPARC), der Schweizer Akademie der Naturwissenschaften (ISCAR), der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (ÖAW) und der Universität Innsbruck gegründet. Sie hat das Ziel, Themen zu behandeln, die gleichzeitig Forschung und Verwaltung in und über die Schutzgebiete der Alpen betreffen, ohne dabei andere Gebirgsschutzgebiete Europas oder anderswo auszuschließen. Diese neue Zeitschrift richtet sich an ein Publikum von Wissenschaftlern der verschiedensten Fachbereiche, an die Verwalter von Schutzgebieten und an alle sonstigen Interessierten, Praktiker, Besucher, Lehrpersonal etc. einbegriffen. Die Zeitschrift veröffentlicht begutachtete Beiträge auf Englisch von Autoren, die Fragen der Gebirgsschutzgebiete und deren Verwaltung betreffen. Sie erscheint zweimal pro Jahr, auf der Basis der gemeinsamen Anstrengungen des Verlags der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, der für die digitale Fassung verantwortlich ist, und der Presse der Universität Innsbruck, verantwortlich für die gedruckte Fassung.
