A Different Perspective on Sex Dimorphism in the Adult Hermann’s Tortoise: Geometric Morphometry
Duro, Sokol; Gündemir, Ozan; Sönmez, Bektaş; Jashari, Tefik; Szara, Tomasz; Pazvant, Gülsün; Kambo, Arben (18 March 2)Eastern Hermann’s tortoise (Testudo hermanni boettgeri) is a subspecies of Hermann’s tortoise (Testudo hermanni) found in Albania. Gender determination is one of the crucial elements in determining the population dynamics ... -
Body size-related polymorphic foraging strategy in adult green turtles
Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) are among the prominent migratory and conservation-needing animals. Missing data on the foraging strategy of green turtles limits effective conservation actions in the Eastern Mediterranean. ... -
Dichotomy in morphology of the same genetic lineage of green turtles
Morphological studies of marine turtles are important to provide insight into changes in their developmental environment. This study aimed to determine green turtles' Chelonia mydas morphological differences within the ... -
Effect of predicted sea level rise scenarios on green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nesting
Sönmez, Bektaş; Karaman, Sezgin; Türkozan, Oğuz (22 April 2)There is a growing interest among scientists about climate change and its adverse effects. One of the major adverse effects of climate change is the sea level rise (SLR), which will cause habitat loss for many species and ... -
Hyalomma aegyptium the dominant hard tick in tortoises Tesdudo hermanni boettgeri found in different regions of Albania
Bizhga, Bejo; Sönmez, Bektaş; Bardhaj, Laurent; Sherifi, Kurtesh; Gündemir, Ozan (2 Şubat 20)The purpose of this study was to estimate the level of hard tick infestation in the tortoise subspecies Testudo hermanni boettgeri living within the free-range hills and mountains of four regions of central and south ... -
Morphological Divergence of Hermann’s Tortoise (Testudo hermanni boettgeri Mojsisovits, 1889) in Albania
Duro, Sokol; Sönmez, Bektaş; Gündemir, Ozan; Jashari, Tefik; Szara, Tomasz (9 January )Testudines show phenotypic plasticity, and variation among specific populations within a species is widespread. Morphological differences between populations may reflect ecological factors that drive adaptation to local ... -
Nesting activity of loggerhead turtles (2013–2020) and 20 years abundance trend (2001–2020) on Çıralı Beach, Turkey
Sönmez, Bektaş; Elginöz, Erdal; Ilgaz, Mustafa; Altınkaya, Habib (25 March 2)Long-term monitoring studies on sea turtles give reliable data on population size and nest density estimates. In this context, this study provides reliable data about nesting and hatching activities of the loggerhead ... -
Population genetic diversity of green turtles, Chelonia mydas, in the Mediterranean revisited
Karaman, Sezgin; Türkozan, Oğuz; Carreras, Carlos; Yılmaz, Can; Sönmez, Bektaş; Candan, Onur; Ergene, Serap; Ergene, Mahmut; Uçar, Aşkın Hasan; Ulger, Celal (Nisan 2022)The Mediterranean green turtle regional management unit is one of the 17 management units of green turtles considered a global conservation priority. However, previous studies using different genetic markers revealed very ...
