Ecological divergence between two evolutionary lineages of Hyla savignyi (Audouin, 1827) in Turkey: effects of the Anatolian Diagonal
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2013)
Most of Turkey's land area is covered by one of three biodiversity hotspots (Caucasus, Irano-Anatolian, and Mediterranean). Anatolia is one of the main corridors for postglacial colonization of Europe. Uncovering how ...
Impact of various ecological parameters on the life-history characteristics of Bufotes viridis sitibundus from Turkey
(Wiley, 2021)
In this study, we used the skeletochronology method to estimate various growth parameters, such as age structure, minimum and maximum life span, age of sexual maturity, and the relationship between body size and weight of ...
Potential habitats of an alien species (Asterias rubens Linnaeus, 1758) in the Black Sea: its current and future distribution patterns
(Springer Heidelberg, 2022)
The Atlantic common starfish, Asterias rubens, has arrived firstly at the Marmara Sea in 1996 and to the Black Sea in 2007. In this study, we have exhibited the possible potential distribution of Asterias rubens throughout ...
Sexual size and shape dimorphism in Turkish common toads (Bufo bufo Linnaeus 1758)
(Wiley, 2021)
Differences in male and female traits (sexual dimorphism [SD]) are widespread in animals. Dimorphism in morphological characters evolves under the effect of environmental and genetic factors and is shaped by natural and ...
Cryptic genetic structure within Valentin's Lizard, Darevskia valentini (Boettger, 1892) (Squamata, Lacertidae), with implications for systematics and origins of parthenogenesis
(Taylor & Francis Ltd., 2021)
Taxonomy of the lacertid genus Darevskia has been complex since the first morphology-based studies. Darevskia valentini, mostly distributed in Turkey, currently includes three subspecies, but its interspecific and intraspecific ...
Occurrence of microplastics in herpetological museum collection: Grass snake (Natrix natrix [Linnaeus, 1758]) and dice anake (Natrix tessellata [Laurenti, 1769]) as model organisms
(Springer, 2022)
Microplastics are plastic fragments with a size less than 5 mm in length. In addition to a threat to the marine environments where these are abundantly present, these have also started polluting freshwater ecosystems. ...
An Overview of Historical Distribution Patterns of Chalcides ocellatus (Forsskål, 1775) Using Ecological Niche Modelling: the Taurus Mountains as a refugium
(Folium Pulishing, 2021)
The Taurus Mountains that have a very rich biodiversity are one of the most important mountain chains in Anatolia. In this study, we examined distribution patterns of Chalcides ocellatus that has a restricted dispersal ...
Survey for the pathogenic chytrid fungi batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and b. salamandrivorans on the caucasian salamander in northeastern Turkey
(Herpetological Conservation & Biology, 2021)
Chytridiomycosis is an infectious disease of amphibians caused by either of two aquatic fungal pathogens, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and B. salamandrivorans (Bsal). In this study, we carried out Bd and Bsal screening ...
Potential distribution under different climatic scenarios of climate change of the vulnerable Caucasian salamander (Mertensiella caucasica): A case study of the Caucasus Hotspot
(Springer, 2018)
Amphibians are strongly affected by climate change like many vertebrate animals. To address this problematic situation, we examined the potential effect of climate change on the distribution of Mertensiella caucasica (Waga, ...
Age structure and body size variation in common toad (Bufo bufo, Linnaeus 1758) from three different altitudes in Turkey
(Pleiades Publishing Inc, 2019)
We describe here for the first time the body size and age of the Common Toad (Bufo bufo) from high (Trabzon, 1090 m and Kastamonu, 925 m above sea level) and low (Yalova, 65 m above sea level) altitudes in Turkey using ...
