Abstract :Ferulago glareosa, which is considered to be a threatened species lives in two different habitat patches insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Type 1 and Type 2); in Kemah, Erzincan insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Turkey);. In this study, in order to provide guidance to the possible conservation studies for species, we have examined both floral visitors and impact of visitors on fruit set. The visitor abundances of species and the impact of visitors on fruit set were determined by observing them for a period of 2 hours for 8 days spread in both 2016 and 2017. The fruit set of individuals in two habitat patches were measured by counting fruits of 587 rays in 60 individuals. The difference between fruit set of individuals in Type 1 and Type 2 patches was determined to be quite statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.11 and 1.12 respectively);. Omophlus caucasicus was observed to cause the biggest damage to the fruit set of species. Different abiotic conditions in the habitat patches and the flowering phenology of species were found to have an impact on the visibility of species to insect herbivores. As a conclusion, the damages given to species by insect herbivores were found to have a strong correlation with the spatial and temporal variations in species habitat.
