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. ...
Interspecific and intraspecific size and shape variation in skull of two closely related species Bufo bufo (Linnaeus, 1758) and Bufo verrucosissimus (Pallas, 1814) from Turkey
(TUBİTAK Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2021)
Anurans are the most suitable vertebrate group to see the development and also evolution in the skull, compared to other terrestrial vertebrates as they show highly derived morphology. For this reason, the cranium of anurans ...
Age structure and growth pattern in an east Anatolian high altitude population of Iranolacerta brandtii (DE FILIPPI, 1863)
(Osterreichische Gesellschaft Herpetologie E V, 2017)
Information on age structure and growth of Iranolacerta brandtii (DE FILIPPI, 1863), is presented for a high altitude (2,363 m a.s.l.) population from Karadulda Village, District of Calchran, Province of Van, east Anatolia ...
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 of the eastern spadefoot toad pelobates syriacus boettger, 1889 (Anura: Pelobatidae) from Afyonkarahisar, Turkey
(Inst Zoology, Bas, 2019)
This is the first study to report the average age of adulthood and sexual maturity in individuals of Pelobates syriacus Boettger, 1889 from Afyon, Turkey. the age of male and female individuals was found to vary between ...
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 ...
Taxonomic assessment and distribution of common toads (Bufo bufo and B. verrucosissimus) in Turkey based on morphological and molecular data
(Brill, 2020)
The Bufo bufo species group includes four species distributed in the western Palearctic: B. bufo. B. eichwaldii, B. spinosus and B. verrucosissimus. Both B. bufo and B. verrucosissimus are known to occur in Turkey, but ...
Characterization of microplastic pollution in tadpoles living in small water-bodies from Rize, the northeast of Turkey
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020)
Microplastic pollution is a growing problem for Turkey and other countries, but most studies focus on the pollution in oceans and seas. To understand the relationship between microplastics, fresh water, and terrestrial ...
