Abstract (2. Language): 
Among prey remnants of 42,290 animal individuals, collected in Turkey, Syria, Iran, and Israel, I determined 157 dormice of seven species: Eliomys melanurus, Glis glis, Dryomys nitedula, Dryomys laniger, Myomimus personatus, Myomimus setzeri, and an undescribed Myomimus sp. from the central Zagros Mts. Owl pellets were of four owl species: Tyto alba, Bubo bubo, Strix aluco, and Asio otus. In total, dormice formed only 0.37 % of prey, their dominance, however, increased from southwest towards northeast, begin 0.04 % in Israel and 0.97 % in Iran. Results show that the Middle East has more species of Gliridae than any other region of comparable size. Myomimus setzeri is for the first time reported from Turkey.

Türkiye, Suriye, İran ve İsrail’den toplanmış baykuş kusmukları içinde çeşitli hayvanlara ait 42290 besin atığı arasından 157 tanesinin Eliomys melanurus, Glis glis, Dryomys nitedula, Dryomys laniger, Myomimus personatus, Myomimus setzeri, ve Zagros Dağlarından türü teşhis edilememiş bir Myomimus sp. olmak üzere yedi ağaç faresi türüne ait olduğu tespit ettim. Kusmuklar Tyto alba, Bubo bubo, Strix aluco ve Asio otus olmak üzere dört baykuş türüne aittir. Total olarak ağaç farelerinin tüm besinler içindeki payı sadece % 0,37 dir. Ancak bölgesel çokluğu güneybatıda, İsrail’den % 0,04 ten başlayarak kuzeydoğuya, İran’a doğru artarak Iran’da % 0,97 ‘ye ulaşır. Sonuçlar Ortadoğu’nun diğer tüm benzer büyüklükteki bölgelere göre daha fazla Gliridae türü içerdiğini gösterir. Myomimus setzeri Türkiye’de ilk defa kayıt edilmiştir.
