Previous genetic studies have demonstrated that natal homing shapes the stock structure of marine turtle nesting populations. However, widespread sharing common haplotypes based on short segments mitochondrial control region often limits resolution demographic connectivity Recent employing longer sequences to resolve haplotype focused regional assessments and phylogeography. Here we synthesize available for loggerhead turtles from Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic, western Indian Ocean basins....
Abstract Sea turtles are vulnerable to climate change since their reproductive output is influenced by incubating temperatures, with warmer temperatures causing lower hatching success and increased feminization of embryos. Their ability cope projected increases in ambient will depend on capacity adapt shifts climatic regimes. Here, we assessed the extent which phenological could mitigate impacts from (from 1.5 3°C air 1.4 2.3°C sea surface 2100 at our sites) four species turtles, under a...
We studied nesting site preferences and hatching success of loggerhead (Caretta caretta) green turtles (Chelonia mydas) on Akyatan Beach, Turkey. The distribution nests varied annually, with most often in vegetated areas commonly nonvegetated areas. Green turtle was higher at vs. nest sites (p < 0.001).
The nesting biology of loggerhead turtles, Caretta caretta, on Dalyan beach, Turkey, was studied during the 2004 and 2005 seasons. In addition, we analyzed trends over 19 consecutive years, from 1987 to 2005. A total 711 emergences occurred in 605 2005, which 223 (31.4%) 221 (36.5%) nests were deposited, respectively. Mean densities 47.5 km−1 47 Of overall nests, 424 (95%) excavated 32,339 eggs counted. these eggs, 19,947 (61.7%) hatchlings had come out 18,607 (93.3% hatchlings) them able...
Application of taxonomy exclusively based on external morphology, molecular phylogeny and noninvasive anatomical investigation using micro CT scanning together is effective in resolving systematic problems, such as cryptic species. The skull osteology Baran’s black-headed dwarf snake, Rhynchocalamus barani , a subspecies the Palestine kukri melanocephalus were examined. Considerable osteological differences indicate that genus paraphyletic. As result, snake should be referred to monotypic...
Climate change impacts on vertebrates have many implications. The thermal conditions of during incubation are known to influence morphological, physiological, and behavioral traits. Thus, temperatures consequences for ecological evolutionary processes, certain reptiles can determine sex. For oviparous reptiles, information the environment nests is often used estimate sex ratio, metabolic heat, their effects hatching success. This critical baseline not always available all species in regions,...
Revealing biodiversity allows the accurate determination of underlying causes many biological processes such as speciation and hybridization. These contain complex patterns, especially in areas with high species diversity. As two prominent zoogeographic areas, Anatolia Caucasus are also home to genus Darevskia, which has a morphological structure parthenogenetic speciation. Darevskia valentini D. rudis largely distributed taxa this genus, both have controversial taxonomic delimitation. Here...
Loggerhead turtles ( Caretta caretta ) was studied over 3 summers in a nearshore habitat, the Patoku area southern part of Driniki Bay, Albania. Tissue samples were collected from 40 loggerhead incidentally captured stavnike fish-traps (a type pond-net). A fragment 859 base-pair mt-DNA d-loop region amplified these and compared with previously described haplotypes. Haplotype CC-A2.1 (93%) dominant haplotype region. Two unknown haplotypes, CC-A6.1 CC-A10.4, decribed this study. Furthermore,...
Natrix natrix (Linnaeus, 1758) is a common species distributed from Central Europe to Asia. In this range, it forms four subspecies that include several mitochondrial evolutionary lineages. One of the lineages, so-called mtDNA lineage 8, has wide distribution Baltic area Anatolia and Kazakhstan. Anatolia, meets others, however, their occurrence unclear, especially in south-eastern Türkiye where uncommon. Obtaining one specimen poorly studied Hakkâri Province (Zagros part Türkiye), we...
A snake species new to science, Rhynchocalamus barani n. sp., is described from Turkey. It differs other in having higher numbers of dorsalia (17 instead 15) and lower number ventralia (163–173 180–240) upper labials contact with eye (1 2) by a characteristic color-pattern the body.
Conserving and managing an imperiled species, such as Testudo hermanni, requires information on population status demographic traits. To acquire this information, we surveyed Hermann's tortoises, hermanni boettgeri, in European Turkey from April to October 2014–2016. We found 283 (135 males, 102 females, 45 juveniles, 1 unknown) T. h. boettgeri at 34 locations. Of these sites, 29% included least individual. that females were larger heavier (mean straight carapace length [SCL] = 175.4 mm,...
Data obtained from long-term survey studies are valuable for assessing the population status and trends in critical populations of threatened species, like sea turtles. Akyatan Beach is one most important green turtle nesting beaches Mediterranean has been monitored since 2006 without interruption. The beach 22 km long more than 100 m wide at some points, both loggerhead turtles nest on beach. However, very limited compared to A total 3866 C. mydas nests were recorded over ten consecutive...
In this study, three reptile species, Mauremys caspica, Mediodactylus orientalis, and Laudakia stellio, were recorded for the first time from Hakkari province, east Anatolia. The ranges of M. orientalis L. stellio extended 100 km, 281 175 respectively. For these new locality records constitute eastern border species in Türkiye. average AUC (Area Under Curve) values calculated as 0.861, 0.867, 0.821, Annual mean temperature (Bio1) was determined most important bioclimatic variable (79.3%)...
Understanding the movements of animals in wild is critical for providing important information regarding their conservation and management. With this aim mind, we studied a population Testudo hermanni natural habitat using micro GPS devices. Additionally, VHF transmitters tracked six individuals (four females two males) from May to August 2015. The overall home range size varied 813 123,567 m2. Home did not differ significantly between males females, was also independent individual...
Platyceps Blyth, 1860 is one of the most speciose genera in Colubridae with at least 27 recognised species. Its distribution extends from Adriatic coast to Central Asia, Indo-Malayan region and...
