Description

Yildiz and Uzun set camera traps in a Turkish nature park to learn when its mammals move. Sülüklü Lake Nature Park, in the western Black Sea region, hosts many mid-sized and large species, but their daily rhythms in Türkiye are poorly known. The cameras record which animals pass and at what hours.

The white-breasted hedgehog proves strictly nocturnal and the Caucasian squirrel strictly diurnal, with badgers, wolves, hares, boars, and martens leaning nocturnal and roe deer leaning diurnal. Overlap is highest between hedgehog and marten, and lowest between hedgehog and squirrel, two species on opposite clocks. The authors say the data will help explain how these animals share one habitat.
