Darevskia parvula (Lantz & Cyren, 1913) ve Darevskia adjarica (Darevsky & Eiselt, 1980)'nın karşılaştırmalı iskelet osteolojisi (Squamata: Lacertidae)

Abstract

Darevskia parvula ve D. adjarica türlerinin kranial ve postkranial  osteolojilerinin detaylı tanımlaması diğer kertenkele türlerinin karşılaştırmalı çalışmaları için osteolojik veriler sağlamaktadır.  Tanımlamalar ve karşılaştırmalar her bir tür için 10 erişkin ve 2 jüvenil bireylerden oluşan 12 örneğe dayanmaktadır.  Darevskia parvula ve D. adjarica  oldukça korunmuş türleridir ve benzer osteolojik özelliklere sahiptirler.  Bu çalışmadaki farklılıklar kranial iskelet için diş sayısı ve postkranial iskelet için de omur sayısıdır.  Darevskia parvula'nın D. adjarica'dan daha az dişi vardır.

Comparative skeletal osteology of Darevskia parvula (Lantz & Cyren, 1913) and Darevskia adjarica (Darevsky & Eiselt, 1980) (Squamata: Lacertidae)

Abstract

A detailed description of cranial and postcranial osteology of Darevskia parvula and D. adjarica is provided osteological data for further comparative studies of other lizards.  The descriptions and comparisons are based on 12 specimens, of which 10 adult and 2 juveniles for each species.  Darevskia parvula and D. adjarica are highly conservative species and they have similar osteological features.  The differences in the current study are the number of teeth for the cranial skeleton and the number of vertebrae for the postcranial.  Darevskia parvula has a lower number of teeth than D. adjarica.
