The amphibian and reptile species of Bozdaǧ (Ödemiş)
(2004) Kumlutaş,Y.; Özdemir,A.; Ilgaz,Ç.; Tosunoǧlu,M.
The herpetofauna of Bozdaǧ in western Anatolia was investigated. In the study area, 152 samples belonging to 22 species from 14 amphibian and reptile families were described. One of these species is an urodelan, 5 are anurans, 1 is a tortoise, 10 are lizards and 5 are snakes. A specimen of Eumeces schneideri was found at Bozdaǧ for the first time. © TÜBİTAK.
Comparison of the body size and age structure of Lebanon lizard, Phoenicolacerta laevis (Gray, 1838) at different altitudes in Turkey
(Senckenbergische Naturforschende Gesellschaft, 2018) Üzüm,N.; Ilgaz,Ç.; Avci,A.; Candan,K.; Güler,H.; Kumlutaş,Y.
In this study, comparison of a life history traits (e.g. body size, age at maturity, longevity) of two populations of Phoenicolacerta laevis from different altitudes is being carried out (Anamur, 22 m a.s.l.; Andirin, 1.083 m a.s.l.) for the first time. We applied phalangeal skeletochronology to obtain the age of juveniles and adults. Age was determined by counting the lines of arrested growth (LAGs) in cross-sections. Males in both populations were the larger of the two sexes and a male biased sexual dimorphism was determined for both populations. Body size (SVL) was similar in both sexes and populations. Age of maturity was calculated to be 3 years of age for males and females in both populations. The average age of males and females was calculated as 6.62 ± 0.37 (Mean±SE) and 6.11 ± 0.26 years in Anamur, and 6.15 ± 0.51 and 5.26 ± 0.24 years in Andirin. There was statistically significant variation between sexes, but no significant difference in populations was found in relation to age. For both populations, a significant positive correlation was found between age and SVL in males and females. © Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung, 2018.
External morphology and osteology of darevskia rudis (Bedriaga, 1886), with a taxonomic revision of the Pontic and small-caucasus populations (Squamata: Lacertidae)
(Magnolia Press, 2013) Arribas,O.; Ilgaz,Ç.; Kumlutaş,Y.; Durmuş,S.H.; Avci,A.; Üzüm,N.
A broad sample of Darevskia rudis from the main part of its range was reviewed with regard to external morphology (dis-criminant, UPGMA, MST and ANOVA analyses) and osteology. Darevskia bithynica is raised to species rank, with two subspecies: D. b. bithynica and D. b. tristis. The other subspecies are fairly similar (D. r. rudis being the most different). Two singular populations are described as subspecies: D. r. mirabilis ssp. nov. from Kaçkar Mountains, geographically adjoins the otherwise different D. r. bischoffi and D. r. bolkardaghica ssp. nov., which is geographically isolated but that seems to be very closely related to D. r. obscura.

Helminth fauna of Valentin’s Lizard Darevskia valentini (Boettger, 1892) (Squamata: Lacertidae) collected from central and eastern Anatolia, Turkey
(De Gruyter Open Ltd, 2018) Birlik,S.; Yildirimhan,H.S.; Ilgaz,Ç.; Kumlutaş,Y.
In this study, we assessed the helminth fauna of seventy two Valentin’s Lizard, Darevskia valentini (32, 35, 5 subadult). Specimens collected from Kayseri, Ardahan and Van Provinces in Turkey. As a result of the present study, it was detected that forty one hosts are infected with one or more species of helminth. Two species of Cestoda, Oochoristica tuberculata and Mesocestoides spp., and 5 species of Nematoda, Spauligodon aloisei, Skrjabinodon alcaraziensis, Skrjabinodon medinae, Skrjabinelazia hoffmanni and Strongyloides darevsky were found in the hosts. D. valentini represents a new host record for all helminths recorded. Skrjabinodon alcaraziensis is recorded for the first time from Turkey. Van, Kayseri and Ardahan are new locality records for all helminths from D. valentini. © 2018 Institute of Parasitology, SAS, Košice.
A new subspecies, Eumeces schneiderii barani n. ssp (Reptilia: Sauria: Scincidae) from Turkey
(Magnolia Press, 2007) Kumlutaş,Y.; Arikan,H.; Ilgaz,Ç.; Kaska,Y.
This study describes a new subspecies of lizard, Eumeces schneiderii barani n. ssp., from western Anatolia, Turkey. The new subspecies is differentiated from other two subspecies in Anatolia (E. s. princeps and E. s. pavimentatus) by its characteristic colour and colour-pattern as well as by the scales along the dorsal midline. Results obtained from polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis support this differentiation. Copyright © 2007 · Magnolia Press.
