Özet
The moth species were investigated in the four distinct types of habitat coniferous, beech, oak forests and shrubs including 57 different sites - of Western Black Sea Region in Turkey between the years of 2001 and 2004. A total of 207 Lepidoptera species belonging to 164 genera and 11 families was determined. Results showed that the index of diversity in the coniferous habitats (H=0.5592) was significantly higher than those of beech (H=0.3561) and oak forests (H=0.4238), but was not significantly different than those of shrubs (H=0.4921). The pooled species numbers of the coniferous habitats were the highest among the four types of habitat (P < 0.001). Moreover, the pooled number of species in the Noctuidae and Geometridae families were significantly higher (P < 0.001) than those found in the other Lepidoptera families in the study area. The pooled numbers of the species tended to decrease from June to September during the study months.
