The Herpetofauna of Karçal Mountains Artvin/Turkey

Year 2017, Volume: 10 Issue: 1, 1 - 5, 15.04.2017

Abstract

Karçal Mountains are located in Artvin province Turkey that contains various types of ecosystems. Based on the results of herpetological surveys conducted between August 2014 and July 2015, totally 18 species were recorded from 11 different stations around Karçal Mountains of which 7 were amphibians 2 salamanders and 5 frogs and 11 were reptiles 5 lizards and 6 snakes . Specimens were investigated in terms of some morphological characters like color and pattern features, number of scales and plates and body measurements. In addition, a zoogeographical assessment was also carried out by the chorotype classification of Karçal Mountains

Year 2017, Volume: 10 Issue: 1, 1 - 5, 15.04.2017

Abstract

Temmuz 2015 tarihleri arasında Karçal dağları ve çevresinde yapılan herpetolojik araştırmalar neticesinde 11 istasyondan 7’si çift yaşar 2 semender ve 5 kurbağa 11’i sürüngen 5 kertenkele ve 6 yılan olmak üzere toplam 18 tür tespit edilmiştir.Örnekler renk-desen özellikleri, pul ve plak sayıları ve vücut ölçüleri gibi bazı morfolojik karakterler bakımından incelenmiştir. Buna ek olarak, Karçal Dağlarının korotip sınıflandırması ile zoocoğrafik bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır
