Preliminary results are presented from a study in Turkey using window traps in a cemetery with old hollow oaks. In total, 87 beetle species were identified and the number of beetle species was the highest from the families Elateridae, Anobiidae and Tenebrionidae. Several of the species are considered to be very rare in Europe and one of the species will be described as new to science (Mycetochara sp.). Species composition was surprisingly high when compared to similar studies in the region.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessColeopterasaproxylicoakQuercusbiodiversitywindow trappitfall trapArticle57110511410.1080/09397140.2012.106489692-s2.0-84870796182Q3WOS:000319198500013Q4
