Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine amphibians distributed in Adıyaman province as well as their activation period, distribution and its various ecological characteristics. As a result of the field study from 200 different localities; 3 urodeles Ommatotriton vittatus, Salamandra infraimmaculata and Neurergus strauchii belonging to family Salamandridae and 4 anuran Rana macrocnemis, Pelophylax ridibundus, Hyla savignyi and Bufotes variabilis belonging to 3 families Ranidae, Hylidae and Bufonidae totally 7 species were determined in Adıyaman. S. infraimmaculata and B. variabilis are fist record for Adıyaman province. Specimens were examined morphologically and taxonomic status of them was discussed in comparison with the relevant literature. In addition, some ecological data such as reproductive biology, activation periods and habitat preferences, temperature, pressure and humidity have been determined and evaluated

Adıyaman İlinin Kurbağaları

Abstract

Bu çalışma ile Adıyaman ilinde dağılış gösteren kurbağa türleri, bu türlerin aktivasyon dönemi, yayılışları ve çeşitli ekolojik özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Adıyaman ilinde 200 farklı lokalitede yapılan arazi çalışmaları sonucunda, 3 kuyruklu kurbağa Ommatotriton vittatus, Salamandra infraimmaculata ve Neurergus strauchii ve 4 kuyruksuz kurbağa Rana macrocnemis, Pelophylax ridibundus, Hyla savignyi ve Bufotes variabilis olmak üzere toplam 7 kurbağa türü tespit edilmiştir. S. infraimmaculata ve B. variabilis, Adıyaman ili için yeni kayıttır. Toplanan örnekler morfolojik olarak incelenmiş ve mevcut literatürle karşılaştırılarak taksonomik durumları tartışılmıştır. Ayrıca örneklerin üreme biyolojileri, aktivasyon dönemleri, habitat tercihleri ve sıcaklık, basınç, nem gibi bazı ekolojik verileri de kayıt altına alınarak değerlendirilmiştir
