Summary. The conservation of beetles that depend on dying or dead wood (i.e. saproxylic), has received a great deal of
attention in many parts of the world in recent years. Human activities such as urbanization and logging, and their results, e.g.
global warming, destroy natural ecosystems and threaten unusual species such as Lucanus cervus (L. 1758), Rosalia alpina (L.
1758), Limoniscus violaceus (Müller 1821) and Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli 1763). Attempts have been made to conserve
the habitats upon which these species depend. Although represented by a large number of species, saproxylic beetles in Turkey
have not received much attention. Although some Turkish studies have acknowledged their value, comprehensive investiga-

tions of these species are very limited. The aim of this study is to make a list, from the literature, of the species that are
endangered in Europe and found in Turkey, to highlight the importance of these species. The research includes 151 saproxylic
beetle species belonging to the families Bostrichidae, Cerambycidae, Elateridae, Eucnemidae, Scarabaeidae, Euchiridae,
Lucanidae and Mycetophagidae. The list of Turkish saproxylic beetles was prepared using the European Red List of
Saproxylic Beetles. Information is provided about the IUCN Red List category in Europe, the locations of the species in
Turkey, and their global geographic range. We gathered all data about these species from the international literature.
Furthermore, we also include in the list certain species whose locations are not specified, but which inhabit Turkey. We
obtained their records from some catalogs in Turkey. In addition to the list, we prepared three distribution maps for Turkey.
The maps show distribution in Turkey of some species in the Endangered, Vulnerable and Near Threatened categories in the
European Red List. It is expected that this study will lead to comprehensive studies on saproxylic beetles from Turkey.

activités humaines comme l'urbanisation, l'exploitation forestière et le réchauffement global, en détruisant des écosystèmes
naturels, menacent ainsi jours après jours des espèces uniques telles que Lucanus cervus (L. 1758), Rosalia alpina (L.
1759), Limoniscus violaceus (Müller 1821), Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli 1763). De nombreux chercheurs d'Europe se sont
réunis afin de proposer des mesures de conservation des habitats dont ces espèces dépendent. Malgré qu'ils soient
représentés par un grand nombre d'espèces, les coléoptères saproxyliques de Turquie n'ont pas reçu beaucoup d'attention.
Même si des chercheurs turcs ont mentionné leur valeur dans plusieurs études, les recherches détaillées sont encore très
limitées. Le but de ce travail est de constituer, à partir de la littérature, une liste des espèces qui sont à la fois menacées en
Europe et présentes en Turquie. La recherche inclut 151 espèces de coléoptères saproxyliques de Turquie qui appartiennent
aux familles Bostrichidae, Cerambycidae, Elateridae, Eucnemidae, Scarabaeidae, Euchiridae, Lucanidae et
Mycetophagidae. La liste des coléoptères saproxyliques de Turquie a été préparée au départ de la Liste Rouge des
espèces d'Europe. Dans cette liste, nous avons donné pour chaque espèce des informations sur les catégories de menace
en Europe, les localisations en Turquie et dans le reste du monde. Nous avons rassemblé les données de ces espèces à partir
de la littérature internationale. Par ailleurs, certaines espèces dont les localisations ne sont pas précisées mais qui existent en
Turquie sont seulement énumérées. Nous présentons aussi trois cartes de distributions en Turquie, pour les espèces en
Danger, Vulnérables et Presque Menacées de la Liste Rouge des espèces d'Europe. Nous espérons que cette étude va
conduire à des recherches plus complètes des coléoptères saproxyliques de Turquie.

valuable resource in forest ecosystems and removal of

Low-lying and fallen trunks play important roles in forest
those materials may cause depletion of soil nutrients and
ecosystems. Many animals depend on dead wood to some
decrease in biodiversity (Lachat et al. 2006). Due to their
extent. Thus, dead wood is important in maintaining forest
abundance and diversity, saproxylic beetles may play
biodiversity (Ünal & Küçük 2007). Dead wood also serves
important roles in wood decay and nutrient cycling in
as an important store of carbon (Mackensen et al. 2003)
natural ecosystems. Saproxylic beetles are associated
and plays an important role in nutrient cycling (Laiho &

Kaila et al. (1994) state that saproxylic beetles often
exhibit a high degree of habitat specificity, and that vari-
ables including tree species, diversity and types of fungus
species decaying the wood, degree of decay, and quality
and structure of the surrounding biotope may affect the
occurrence of saproxylic insect species. Because rotten
wood is inhabited by the larvae of saproxylic beetles, it
is difficult to examine their conditions of microhabitat in
detail without destroying them. Therefore, often the adults
of saproxylic beetles are studied. Knowledge about the
habitat requirements of saproxylic beetles is less detailed
than for other insects such as butterflies (Ranius 2002).
Saproxylic beetles have important interactions with
other organisms, e.g. mites, nematodes, bacteria and
fungi, that are significant for ecosystem and economy.
The beetles act as vectors, helping to disperse these organ-
isms by carrying them on or within their bodies. Another
important role performed by some kinds of saproxylic
Downloaded by [178.243.231.127] at 10:21 26 June 2014
beetles is pollination (Nieto & Alexander 2010).
Studies on saproxylic arthropods in Canada provide
insight into factors influencing the abundance and diversity
of these organisms. It is known that besides urban sprawl,
logging, enlargement of farm fields, and global warming,
many factors have a negative influence on saproxylic bee-
tles (Nieto & Alexander 2010). Fremlin (2009) observed
Lucanus cervus (L. 1758) in urban parks and gardens, and
found that human activities affect their behaviour and popu-
lations. Ranius et al. (2005) mentions the threat to
Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli 1763) in their study. Some
research has been done on other species too, such as
Rosalia alpina (Linnaeus 1758), L. cervus (Linnaeus
1758) and Elater ferrugineus (Linnaeus 1758) in Europe
(Nieto & Alexander 2010). Recent research suggests that
10.7% of saproxylic beetle species are under the risk of
extinction in Europe (Nieto & Alexander 2010).
While the diversity, ecology and conservation of
saproxylic beetles have received a great deal of attention
in Europe, few such efforts have been made in Turkey.
Avcı et al. (2010) cited some studies of saproxylic beetles.
Turkey has rich fauna including many saproxylic beetle
species. However, some of these species are under threat
of extinction, for example Lucanus cervus (L. 1758) (Atay
& Oğur 2011). Several species such as Ampedus cardina-
lis (Schiödte 1865) (Abacıgil et al. 2012), Rosalia alpina
(L. 1758) (Özdikmen 2012; Özdikmen et al. 2012),
Limoniscus violaceus (Müller 1821) (Jansson & Coşkun
2008), that are very rare globally, can be found in Turkey.
Although some species are indicated living in Turkey,
such as Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli 1763), Podeonius
acuticornis (Germar 1824) and Xylomedes cornifrons
(Baudi 1874) (Ranius et al. 2005; Sama et al. 2011;
Mertlik & Platia 2008; Hallan 2008), their locations in
Turkey are not known. The first step in protecting these
species is knowing which species are of greatest conserva-
tion concern. The aim of this paper is to identify
saproxylic species native to Turkey that appear on the
European Red List.
Material and method
The material of this work is the European Red List of
Saproxylic Beetles published by International Union for
Conservation of Nature (IUCN 2012). A lot of saproxylic beetle
species are classified in different threatened categories in the
European Red List. These categories are presented in Figure 1.
When the categorization was made, assessment protocols were
used taking into account geographic range, data of population,
habitat preferences, etc. (Nieto & Alexander 2010; IUCN
2012). The research on saproxylic beetles is very limited; there-
fore the threat status of these beetles is unknown in Turkey.
During this study, no specimens were collected from any
locations and no statistical processing for threatened status has
been used. First, we examined the European Red List of
Saproxylic Beetles and we determined saproxylic beetle species
living in Turkey from the list. For detecting these species we
benefited from many books, articles, catalogues, Master theses
and documents from symposia on saproxylic beetles. After this
we obtained information about their distribution in Turkey and
the world from books, catalogues, articles, Master theses and
websites. Finally, we prepared the sections for each species. We
have prepared maps for some species using these data. The first
map (Figure 2) shows the distribution in Turkey of species in
the Endangered category in the European Red List. The second
map (Figure 3) shows the distribution in Turkey of species in
the Vulnerable category in the European Red List. The last map
(Figure 4) shows the distribution in Turkey of species in the
Near Threatened category in the European Red List. We used
Google Maps (2013) and Adobe Photoshop CS5 (Adobe
Systems Incorporated, San Jose, CA) for these maps.
The list of Turkish saproxylic beetles has four sections for
each species, as follows.
Red List categories in Europe
This section gives the threat category of the saproxylic beetle
species in Europe. Figure 1 shows the threat categories published
by IUCN (2012). The categories are: Extinct (EX); Extinct in the
Wild (EW); Regionally Extinct (RE); Critically Endangered
(CR); Endangered (EN); Vulnerable (VU); Near Threatened
(NT); Least Concern (LC); Data Deficient (DD); Not
Applicable (NA) and Not Evaluated (NE).
Distribution in Turkey
This section gives information about locations of the saproxylic
beetle species in Turkey.
Global distribution
This section indicates the global geographic range for each
species.
Status and conservation of threatened species and
remarks
This section provides the threat status and conservation planning
for the species in different countries. Moreover it stresses the
importance of the species.

Global distribution. R. alpina is widespread in Europe,
Caucasus, Asia Minor (Özdikmen 2007), the Near East
(Bartenev 2004; Özdikmen 2007) and North Africa. In
Europe it is found in Spain (Pena 2002; Pena et al.

Remarks. Its original range covers southern and central
Europe, where the species has disappeared from a large
part of its range. Only a single population survives north
of the Alps and west of the Carpathians. Despite its
significance, detailed knowledge on the Rosalia
longicorn ecology and biology is still missing (Drag et al
2011). Whereas it is widely seen in Europe, it disappeared
in some regions in Europe and it was first recorded by
Sama et al. (2012) in Turkey.

Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli 1763) (s. lat.)
Red List category in Europe. NT.
Distribution in Turkey. We only know one record of O.
eremita from Turkey in 1994: Dr Sobotan found the beetle
in Keşan, in the European part of Turkey (Ranius et al.
2005).
21
Global distribution. The Osmoderma eremita (s.lat.)
complex includes in Europe at least two distinct clades
(Audisio et al. 2007). The first clade includes the West
European O. eremita Scopoli 1763, and the two Italian
endemic taxa O. italicum Sparacio 2000 and O. cristinae
Sparacio 1994, from southern peninsular Italy and Sicily.
O. eremita Scopoli 1763 (s.str.) distributed in western
Europe (northern Spain, France, Belgium, the
Netherlands, Denmark, southern Sweden, southern
Norway, Italy, Switzerland, western Austria, western
Slovenia, most of western and northern Germany). The
second clade includes the widespread East European O.
barnabita Motschulsky 1845 (most of Germany, eastern
Austria, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary,
Rumania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania,
Estonia, southern Finland, European Russia, Slovakia,
Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Serbia,
Montenegro, Macedonia) and the southern Balcanic O.
lassallei Baraud & Tauzin 1991 from Greece and
European Turkey (Audisio et al. 2007).
Remarks. It is very widely distributed in Europe and it is
frequently mentioned in several studies recently since it is
supposed to be an indicator species. Audisio et al. (2008)
stated in his study that some different European species and
subspecies take place in O. eremita complex. This complex
is divided into two clades at least, one of them contains a
taxon that is widespread in western Europe; the other one
contains a taxon in middle and eastern Europe. These species
are affected by several negative environmental factors,
especially destruction of their habitat, and so they have
been conserved in many European countries.

Remarks. This species, which was first recorded by
Abacıgil et al. (2012) from Turkey, is in the Near
Threatened category of the European Red List. According
to a search made in Skoklaster parks in Sweden, this species
has been identified as vulnerable (Jonsell 2004). Similar to
this study in Sweden, in another study in Cowdray Park in
England, this species has been marked with red (Telfer
2012). Considering these data, this species is among the
species that need conservation.

2007; Mertlik & Platia 2008; Barševskis & Nitcis 2011).
Remarks. Sex pheromone R-(+)-γ decalactone, emitted
by male O. eremita, is used as kairomone by adults of
this species. This pheromone–kairomone system describes
the strong relation between two species. Furthermore,
Elater ferrugineus larva are known to be predators of
Osmoderma eremita larvae (Barševskis & Nitcis 2011;
Larsson & Svensson 2011; Andersson 2012). Andersson
(2012) claims that E. ferrugineus species also are to be
conserved because of this relation. While it is widely seen
in some countries such as Sweden it is rare in other parts
of the world.

its habitat requirements being still poorly known, studies
agree that the type of the substrate is necessary for the
species conservation (Mendel & Owen 1990; Whitehead
2003; Zach 2003; Gouix et al. 2009; Gouix & Brustel

Remarks. This species is easily noticed with its
mandibula and it is rare in Europe. In the study of
Hawes (2008) in England, this species was considered to
need conservation. Fremlin (2009) observed behaviours of
this species in urban parks and gardens in Colchester, UK.
He stated that human activities affect their behaviour and
threaten their population. Studies near Kahramanmaraş in
Turkey give the same information about its population.
Atay & Oğur (2011) carried out field work in 2009–2010
and identified a 30% decline in its population. Whereas
they claim that this is caused by negative environmental
conditions, there has not yet been a serious study on this
issue.

Lucanus laticornis Deyrolle 1864
Red List category in Europe. Due to the fact that the
species is not presented in the European fauna, it is not
included in the European Red List of Saproxylic Beetles.
We propose to categorize this species as Red List category
EN in the Asian section of Turkey's rare and endangered
species. We propose to include this species in the
European Red List of Saproxylic Beetles.
Distribution in Turkey. Asiatic part of Turkey.
Global distribution. Endemic to the Asiatic part of
Turkey. Lucanus laticornis Deyrolle has been known for
a long time but is not mentioned in most recent
publications or placed as a synonym or subspecies of
Lucanus cervus L. Since there are significant differences
between Lucanus laticornis Deyrolle and Lucanus cervus
L. in external features as well in ecology and distribution,
Lucanus laticornis Deyrolle should have the rank of a
species (Schenk 2012).

Discussion
The countries in Europe and EU countries have signed in
several agreements that aim conservation of biodiversity.
The 1979 Bern Convention on the Conservation of
European Wildlife and Natural Habitats and the 1992
Convention on Biological Diversity are most important.
Downloaded by [178.243.231.127] at 10:21 26 June 2014
The Bern Convention mentions saproxylic beetles in five
lists (Nieto & Alexander 2010). The first Symposium and
Workshop on Saproxylic Beetles in Hollow Trees was
arranged in Sweden in 1999. It was followed by other
symposia in UK (2002), Latvia (2004), France (2006),
Germany (2008), Slovenia (2010) and Spain (2012). In
these works, different conservation methods were devel-
oped in addition to identifying key habitats. Ranius et al.
(2009) prepared some boxes mimicking tree hollows and
located 48 of them in Brokind, Bjӓrka Sӓby and Grebo
regions in Sweden. He tried to make life-like tree hollows
by putting some materials in them. The goal of his work
was to develop new methods for providing artificial habi-
tats to saproxylic beetle species associated with tree hol-
lows. It worked mostly but some species, such as Allecula
morio (Fabricius 1787), Ampedus cardinalis (Schiödte
1865), Chrytohagus quercinus Kraatz 1852, Procraerus
tibialis (Lacordaire 1835) and Osmoderma eremita
(Scopoli 1763), did not settle on these artificial habitats.
The studies show that the importance of saproxylic beetle
species for the biodiversity of Europe is understood.
Turkey is located at the intersection of Europe, the
Middle East, Central Asia and Africa. Turkey is covered
by parts of biodiversity hotspots: Caucasus, Irano-
Anatolian, and Mediterranean. Furthermore, Turkey's geo-
graphical features have resulted in high terrestrial, fresh-
water, and marine biodiversity (Şekercioğlu et al. 2011).
When the biodiversity of Turkey is taken into account, the
number of saproxylic beetle species should be higher than
the number of indicated species in this study. During this
study a few important works about these species in Turkey
were identified. In one, Atalay & Oğur (2011) investigated
the distribution of stag beetle populations in the Taurus
and Amanos mountain. They detected the effect of chan-
ging environment conditions on this population. Avcı et al
(2010) recorded saproxylic beetles living on Turkish old
31
oaks from different regions in Turkey. For instance,
Ectamenogonus montandoni (Buysson 1888), Ischnodes
sanguinicollis (Panzer 1793) and Megapenthes lugens
(Redtenbacher 1842) are found in the Kasnak Forests in
Turkey.
According to this study, Osmoderma lassallei (Baraud
& Tauzin 1991) is recorded in European Turkey but we
estimate that this species may also occupy in different
locations in Turkey. Moreover, Callergates gaillardoti
(Chevrolat 1854) is recorded from more than two loca-
tions in Turkey (Figure 2). Although the population den-
sity is not known for these species, it could be inferred
that these are rare in Turkey.
Locations where Xylomedes cornifrons (Baudi 1874)
can be found are not known in Turkey but Proetia mirifica
(Mulsant 1842) and Ischnodes sanguinicollis (Panzer
1793) are recorded from more than one location in
Turkey (Figure 3). In particular, Stenopterus atricornis
Pic 1891 is found in several regions with different climatic
features in Turkey.
Although Megapenthes lugens (Redtenbacher 1842)
and Epiphanis cornutus (Eschscholtz 1829) are recorded
in only one location in Turkey, some saproxylic species
such as Cerambyx cerdo L. 1758, Cerambyx dux
(Faldermann 1837) and Cerambyx miles Bonelli 1812
are widespread in Turkey (Figures 4, 5).
Approximately 35% of the beetle species assessed by
the European Red List are present in Turkey. Some species
have limited distribution in Turkey. Although a lot of the
literature has been checked, there is not enough knowl-
edge about the population density of these species from
localities in Turkey. Data show that threatened categories
of saproxylic beetles can show similarities with the
European Red List for some species, although it is uncer-
tain. The European Red List of Saproxylic Beetles pro-
vides information about the general threat status, but the
regional threat status of these beetles is very different.
Some studies show that the threat categories of these
beetles can change because of geographic range and popu-
lation density. For example, Elater ferrugineus (L. 1758),
which is listed as Near Threatened in the European Red
List, is classified as Critically Endangered (CR) in
Norway. Similarly, Melasis buprestoides (L. 1761) and
Procraerus tibialis (Lacordaire 1835) are classified differ-
ently in Norway to the European Red List (Sverdrup-
Thygeson et al. 2012). In Italy, 59% of the beetle species
in the European Red List are present and the percentage of
threat categories are indicated differently for Italy’s
saproxylic beetles (IUCN 2012). As a result, the threat
categories of saproxylic beetles in the European Red List
may be unsuitable for the status of these species in Turkey.
Research should be done on saproxylic beetle species in
Turkey to determine their actual Red List threatened cate-
gories and criteria as published by IUCN (2012).
