An old Quercus infectoria from Edremit / Turkey - 2013

Our group was created in 2005 at Çukurova University in Adana while starting up the first beetle study of saproxylic beetles on old hollow Oaks in Mersin region.

We are a group of biologists and foresters loving old Oaks and their species richness, giving a great part of our time to study and spread knowledge about what we learn and finds. We all want to save the richness of flora and fauna of Turkish Oaks from extinction.
