Biological invasions are increasingly recognised as a major global change that erodes ecosystems, societal well-being, and economies. However, comprehensive analyses of their economic ramifications missing for most national economies, despite rapidly escalating costs globally. Türkiye is highly vulnerable to biological owing its extensive transport network trade connections well unique transcontinental position at the interface Europe Asia. This study presents first analysis reported caused...
Roadkill is widely recognized as one of the primary negative effects roads on many wildlife species and also has socioeconomic impacts when they result in accidents. A comprehensive dataset roadkill locations essential to evaluate factors contributing risk enhance our comprehension its impact populations dimensions. We undertook a compilation records, encompassing both published unpublished data gathered from road surveys or opportunistic sources. GLOBAL ROADKILL DATA includes 208,570...
Abstract Amphibians are the most endangered taxa among vertebrates, and they face many threats during their complex life cycles. The species’ history traits occurrence database help understand species responses against ecological factors. Consequently, species-level-trait has gained more prominence in recent years as a useful tool for understanding dimensions of communities, assembly processes conserving biodiversity at ecosystem level environmental changes. However, Turkey, there...
The Mediterranean region is one of the 36 hotspots world that will be most affected by climate change, with river ecosystems being among sensitive to these effects. Therefore, it necessary understand and monitor effects are occurring through use aquatic macroinvertebrates as bioindicators change. To study bioindicators, a systematic literature review was conducted using PRISMA method. obtained bibliography analyzed alongside other known studies determine response organisms temperature...
Habitats have been undergoing significant changes due to environmental processes and human impact that lead into habitat fragmentation connectivity loss. To improve quality habitats maintain ecological connectivity, elements the of need be identified. meet this goal, finding optimal pathways locations plays a key role for designing corridors biodiversity conservation. Conducted in Castilla y León region Spain, paper aims determine enhance protected areas. end, three different scenarios were...
The North American terrapin, the red-eared slider, has globally recognized invasive status. We built a new extensive database using our own original and literature data on ecology of this reptile, representing information 1477 water bodies throughout Eurasia over last 50 years. analysis reveals regions earliest introductions long-term spatio-temporal dynamics expansion covering now 68 Eurasian countries, including eight countries reported here for first time. established also trends in terms...
In this study, measurements of morphological and size parameters peripheral blood cells (erythrocyte, leucocyte, thrombocyte) on smear preparation devices stained with Wright’s stain were given for 87 species from Turkish herpetofauna (19 amphibian including 7 urodeles 12 anurans as well 68 reptile 4 turtles, 30 lizards 34 snake. It was determined that erythrocyte nucleus sizes showed great variations among the even preparations same species; largest found in urodeles; aquatic semiaquatic...
The amphibian and reptile specimens, crushed due to vehicle traffic, were recorded during herpetological trips various regions of Anatolia between 2005 2009. In total, 183 individuals detected, representing 28 species from 4 [Salamandridae (1), Ranidae (3), Bufonidae (2), Hylidae (2)], 3 turtle [Testudinidae Emydidae Geoemydidae lizard [Agamidae Anguidae Lacertidae (5)] 2 snake [Colubridae (6) Viperidae (2)] families. measures required for decreasing herpetofaunal mortalities traffic are emphasized.
Abstract Frogs have been harvested from the wild for last 40 years in Turkey. We analysed population dynamics of Anatolian water frogs ( Pelophylax spp.) Seyhan and Ceyhan Deltas during 2013–2015. marked a total 13,811 individuals 3 years, estimated sizes, simulated over 50 collated frog harvest export statistics region Turkey as whole. Our capture estimates indicated reduction c. 20% per year, our modelling showed that, if overharvesting continues at current rates, populations will decline...
We examined the seasonal changes in food composition of European pond turtle, Emys orbicularis Lake Sülüklü (Manisa, Turkey) during spring and summer 2010. The stomach contents 110 (40 ♂♂, 62 ♀♀, eight juveniles) E. individuals were analyzed, 461 prey items found. Gastropods (2.2%), earthworms (0.4%), insects (67.2%), fishes (6.9%), amphibians (15.0%), plant material (8.2%) constituted species. Food consisted primarily other invertebrates breeding season vertebrate (especially seeds roots)...
In this study, the age structure and growth parameters of Mediterranean house gecko, Hemidactylus turcicus (Linnaeus, 1758) were studied in Izmir Province (Western Anatolia, Türkiye). Our goal is to share with readers a small sampling observations. total 38 specimens (9 juveniles, 11 males, 18 females) captured analysed 2018. Age estimation was achieved based on histological skeletochronology using cross-sections femora, which suggested mean 1.5 years for juveniles (1–2 years), 3.45 (2–5...
The deterioration of natural habitats for oak species has steadily occurred as a consequence both climate change and human pressure. Therefore, detailed reliable information about the geographic distribution under changing conditions is needed diverse ecological conservation practices. This study examined habitat suitability endemic Kasnak oak, Quercus vulcanica Boiss. & Heldr. ex Kotschy, an that ranges across Central Anatolia Region surrounding mountains in Türkiye. occurrence data...
Forecasting the distribution patterns of invasive weed species under changing climate conditions is critical for early identification especially vulnerable regions and implementation effective preventive measures. In this study, current potential range stranglewort (Cynanchum acutum L.)—an alien (IAS) in certain regions—are predicted various scenarios, using maximum entropy algorithm. Species occurrence data representing natural C. 15 WorldClim bioclimatic variables are used. With an...
During a monitoring survey of the amphibians and reptiles in Lake Sülüklü (Manisa, Turkey) spring 2010, we found that smooth newt (Lissotriton vulgaris) population was composed partially paedomorphic individuals. study, 146 aquatic individuals (56 males, 90 females) were captured marked. Of these individuals, 27 (seven 20 paedomorphic. The size calculated as 305 (SE = 20.72, range 270–351). According to data, it about 18.5% individuals) consisted
During the present study, we obtained data via skeletochronology on age structure of Levant water frog, Pelophylax bedriagae, in Lake sülüklü (Manisa, Turkey). The mean snout-vent length was 56.1 mm (SD = 7.7) for males and 64.5 14.8) females. While both sexes reached sexual maturity following their second hibernation, modal two years three average adult population 2.50 0.65, range= 2-4) 2.95 0.99, range 2-5) furthermore, threatening factors were outlined.
Abstract In a study on the population dynamics of Uludağ Frog, Rana macrocnemis Boulenger, 1885 at Uludağ, 4,952 individuals were marked with toeclipping, visible implant elastomer and vi alpha tags between 2006 2008. 47.1% consisted males, 39.0% females 13.8% juveniles, male-biased sex ratio was observed. According to formula Jolly-Seber, mean size calculated for individual plots as 1,535 in Kirazlıyayla, 1,578 Sarıalan, 1,481 Hotels District, 823 Lake Kilimli, 742 Kara, 675 Aynalı, 658...
