Spatiotemporal distribution of microplastics in true frogs (Ranidae: Pelophylax) populations from Turkiye
(Elsevier, 2023)
Microplastics (MPs), which are of increasing concern in almost all ecosystems, continue to be an environmental threat. In the present study, the presence of MPs is investigated by using the gastrointestinal tracts (GITs) ...
Comparison of the ecological niche of two closely related toads (Bufo bufo and Bufo verrucosissimus)
(Brill, 2023)
Understanding climatic variables to determine the ecological niche is crucial to explaining species distributions and revealing how sister species coexist within a geographic area. Here, we used ecological niche modeling ...
Sexual shape dimorphism in Bufo verrucosissimus (Pallas, 1814) from Lake Borçka Karagöl, Türkiye
(Hungarian Natural History Museum, 2023)
Sexual dimorphism, i.e., differences in morphology between sexes of a species caused by intersexual differences in the strength or direction of sexual or natural selection, is preva-lent throughout the animal kingdom. ...
Molecular data confirm the presence of the Southern Crested Newt Triturus karelinii (Strauch, 1870) in Anatolia
(Taylor & Francis Ltd., 2023)
Two species of newts of the genus Triturus are known to occur in Turkiye: Triturus ivanbureschi Wielstra & Arntzen, 2013 and T. anatolicus Wielstra & Arntzen, 2016. Here, we used the mitochondrial ND4 gene as a genetic ...
Modeling of current and future distributions of Camellia sinensis in Türkiye under climate change
(Springer, 2023)
The tea plant (Camellia sinensis) that is cultivated in Türkiye is mainly grown in the eastern Black Sea region and is a significant crop for the Turkish economy. Climate change can have significant effects on the tea ...
Age estimation and body size of the Parsley Frog, Pelodytes caucasicus Boulenger, 1896 from Lake Borçka Karagöl, Turkey
(Firenze University Press, 2023)
In this study, we described age structure, body size, body mass and the relationships among these parameters for a population of P. caucasicus from Lake Borçka Karagöl, Artvin, Turkey. The mean SVL with standard error was ...
Climatic envelopes of the genus Lacerta Linnaeus, 1758 in Türkiye: an application of ecological niche modeling
(Springer, 2023)
Six species belonging to the genus Lacerta live in Türkiye. In this study, both present and future potential distribution maps were created based on occurrence data and climatic variables for these six species. Two scenarios ...
Genetic data to describe the hybrid zone between Bufo bufo (Linnaeus, 1758) and Bufo verrucosissimus (Pallas, 1814) in northeastern Türkiye
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2023)
Hybrid zones are geographic areas where individuals from distinct taxa meet, mate, and hybridize. These zones may have complex histories, but many of them originated relatively recently, during climatic oscillations in the ...
Road mortality report of the genus bufo in northeastern Türkiye
(Springer, 2023)
Abstract: Amphibians, especially those living near lakes, wetlands, and small water bodies, are the most vulnerable vertebrate group to vehicle collision. The aim of this study was to monitor and determine the causes of ...
