Abstract

Marmaris
semenderinin (Lyciasalamandra flavimembris)
Muğla ilinde yayılış gösterdiği bilinen ve yayılış gösterebileceği
lokalitelerde türün üreme dönemleri boyunca izleme çalışması
gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu kapsamda, türün bölgedeki popülasyon durumu, türe
yönelik tehditler araştırılmış ve türün tespit edildiği yaşam alanlarının
koordinat, yükselti ve mevkii bilgileri ile mikro iklimsel özellikleri
kaydedilmiştir. Türün Muğla ilinde en az 13 popülasyon ile temsil edildiği,
bireylerin yaşam alanı olarak daha çok kuzeye bakan, az güneş alan, nemli, bol
bitki örtülü, zeminde saklanabilecekleri yarıklar olan yerleri tercih ettiği,
bu bölgelerin deniz seviyesinden 890 m yüksekliğe kadar dağılış gösterdiği, en
fazla bireyin saptandığı en aktif dönemlerindeki hava sıcaklığının ise 8-18°C
arasında olduğu saptanmıştır.
Popülasyon
yoğunluğu ise 5.
6 birey/hektar olarak
hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca, Marmaris semenderinin dağılış alanının 1115 km2
ve yaşam alanının ise 79 km2 olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Population Status and Threats against Lyciasalamandra flavimembris (Marmaris Lycian Salamander)

Abstract



We
conducted field studies to monitor the population status of Marmaris Salamander
(Lyciasalamandra flavimembris) in
their known and possible distribution localities in Muğla province. The
population status of and threats against the species were investigated and coordinates,
elevations, and micro-climatic characteristics were recorded. We found out that
the species is represented by at least 13 populations in the province of Muğla.
Individuals prefer the areas that are more north-facing, with less sunlight and
moist, and covered with vegetation where they can hide on the ground. The
elevation ranged from 0 to 890 m and the mean temperature range was 8 to 18
°C
during the peak of the active period. Population density is calculated as 5.6
individuals/hectare. In addition, we re-estimated the extent of occurrence and
area of occupancy of Marmaris Salamanders that are 1115 km2 and 79
km2 respectively.
