Road kills of mammal species in the Van Lake Basin (Turkey)
Öz: This study was conducted on the road surrounding Lake Van (D300-D975-E99 roads) between February 2016 and January 2017. It is aimed to identify the species and mortality rates of the mammals that die as a result of car crash in the highway. As a result of the study, 57 cases which belong to 8 species in Eulipotyphla, Lagomorpha, Rodentia and Carnivora orders of the Mammalia class were recorded. The primary mammal species killed in car crashes are stone marten (Martes foina) (n=19), hedgehog (Erinaceus concolor) (n= 17) and red fox (Vulpes vulpes) (n=13) respectively. Mortality for mammal species was calculated as 0.276 ind/km/year. In addition, a solution to reduce deaths has been proposed.

Öz: Bu araştırma Şubat 2016 ve Ocak 2017 tarihleri arasında Van Gölü’nü çevreleyen karayolunda (D300-D975E99 karayolları) gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu karayolunda araç çarpması sonucu ölen memeli türlerinin ve ölüm oranlarının tespiti amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda memeli sınıfının Eulipotyphla, Lagomorpha, Rodentia ve Carnivora takımlarına mensup 8 türe ait toplam 57 vaka kaydedilmiştir. Araç çarpması sonucu ölen memeli türlerinin başında sırasıyla kaya sansarı (Martes foina) (n=19), kirpi (Erinaceus concolor) (n= 17) ve tilki (Vulpes vulpes) (n=13) gelmektedir. Memeli türleri için ölüm oranı 0.276 ind/km/year olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca ölüm vakalarını azaltmaya yönelik çözüm önerileri sunulmuştur.
