    The purpose of this study was to investigate what types of community structures affect breeding bird species richness and diversity in their habitats. The richness and diversity indices, which provide an understanding of the community structure, were used for hypothesis testing. Data on breeding bird species collected within the Turkish Breeding Bird Atlas was analyzed in this study. This data includes the lists of one-hour-long bird observations which were conducted in 764 different sampling points of a size of 1x1 km. These observation lists are important for the number of species and the number of individuals. Observation records containing distribution and abundance data collected during the period from March to July were used to calculate richness and diversity indices. These indices are the total number of species (S), the Margalef index (D), the Shannon index (H') and the Simpson index in the sampling area. iv Index results were used as dependent variables in statistical analysis. With these variables, bird species richness (S) and (D), diversity (H') and species dominance were investigated to analyze what kind of variation is found in Turkey. In order to investigate this question 764 bird observations were divided into 12 groups according to the ecoregions in which they are located. These groups were used to carry out pairwise comparisons with statistical analysis. The groups of richness and diversity were used in statistical analysis. This data was used to show the variation pattern of bird richness and diversity in Turkey. For this purpose, the ecoregions were used as a group according to their different biodiversity features. Based on the results of statistical analysis it was shown that bird species in Turkey’s Inner Anatolian forests are significantly different in terms of richness and diversity. It is plausible to say that habitats which are affected by intensive human impact have significantly lower species richness and diversity. Generalized linear models (GLM) with latitude, longitude, land use characteristics, altitude and climate parameters were established and bird habitat relationships determining the structure of bird communities were investigated. This thesis is a study of the distribution and abundance data of breeding bird species to investigate the impact of habitat features on the biodiversity of the ecoregions in Turkey. This study is therefore important because it offers a discussion on the differences of the ecoregions with regard to bird communities.ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................ iii TEŞEKKÜR.........................................................................................................v İÇİNDEKİLER.................................................................................................... vii ŞEKİLLER DİZİNİ................................................................................................x ÇİZELGELER DİZİNİ ......................................................................................... xi SİMGELER VE KISALTMALAR ........................................................................ xii 1.

Komünite yapısının anlaşılmasını sağlayan zenginlik ve çeşitlilik indisleri hipotez testi için kullanılmıştır. Türkiye Üreyen Kuş Atlası çalışmasında toplanan üreyen kuş türlerine ait veri analizlerde kullanılmıştır. Bu veri, bir saat süre ile büyüklüğü yaklaşık 1x1 km’lik kare olan 764 farklı alanda yapılan kuş gözlem listelerini içerir. Bu gözlem listeleri tür sayısı ve birey sayısı içerdikleri için önemlidir. Kuşların üreme ve göç dönemi olan Mart-Temmuz aylarında toplanmış olan dağılım ve bolluk verisini içeren gözlem kayıtları, zenginlik ve çeşitlilik indisleri olan birim alandaki toplam tür sayısının (S), Margalef indisinin (D), Shannon indisinin (H') ii ve Simpson indisinin hesaplanmasında kullanılmıştır. İndis değişkenleri istatistiksel analizlerde bağımlı değişkenler olarak kullanılmıştır. Bu indis değişkenleri ile kuş türü zenginliği (S) ve (D), çeşitliliği (H') ve tür baskınlığı bakımından Türkiye genelinde nasıl bir varyasyon olduğu araştırılmıştır. Araştırmanın bu adımı için 764 kuş gözlem listesi bulundukları ekobölgelere göre 12 gruba ayrılmıştır. Bu gruplar istatistiksel analizlerle ikili karşılaştırmalar yapmak için kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, Türkiye’nin kıyı bölgesinin ve kuzey batısının dışında bulunan ormanlardaki (S), (H') ve tür baskınlığının anlamlı ölçüde farklı olduğu anlaşılmıştır. İnsan faaliyetlerinin yoğun olarak görüldüğü ekobölgelerde (S), (D), (H') ve tür baskınlığının anlamlı ölçüde düşük değerler aldığı ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Enlem, boylam, arazi kullanım özellikleri, yükseklik ve iklim parametrelerinin bulunduğu genelleştirilmiş doğrusal modeller (GDM) kurularak kuş komünitelerinin yapısını belirleyen kuş habitat ilişkileri araştırılmıştır. Bu tez, üreyen kuş türlerinin dağılım ve bolluk verisini kullanarak türlerin bulundukları habitat özelliklerinin biyoçeşitliliğe olan etkisini Türkiye ölçeğinde inceleyen bir çalışmadır. Ekobölgelerin kuş komüniteleri bakımından nasıl bir farklılaşma gösterdiklerini tartıştığı için ayrıca önemli bir çalışmadır

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
