Sexual Dimorphism In Spiny - tailed Lizard, Darevskia rudis (Bedriaga, 1886) (Sauria: Lacertidae), from Northeastern Anatolia, Turkey
Öz: Detailed investigations carried out on Darevskia rudis (Bedriaga, 1886) populations from NortheasternAnatolia, Turkey to identify sexual dimorphism. 11 morphometric and 30 meristic features of 317specimens were analyzed. Seven meristic (Ventral width, Dorsals attached ventrals at mid-trunk,Femoral pores, Subdigital lamellae left, Tibial scales, Dorsalia). and four metric (Pileus length, Pileuswidth, Head length, Head width) characters were significant in sexual dimorphism pattern (p<0.05).Males have relatively longer head sizes, and related to this snout-vent length than females.Furthermore, it was found that the number of femoral pores are also higher in males than femalesbecause signaling compounds might be released in breeding seasons.
Anahtar Kelime: Kuzeydoğu Anadolu’daki Trabzon Kertenkelesi, Darevskia rudis (Bedriaga, 1886) (Sauria: Lacertidae) Türünde Eşeysel Dimorfizm
Öz: Eşeysel dimorfizmi belirlemek için Kuzeydoğu Anadolu’dan Darevskia rudis (Bedriaga, 1886) populasyonları üzerinde detaylı yapılan araştırmada 317 örneğin 11 morfometrik ve 30 meristik özelliği analiz edilmiştir. Yedi meristik (Ventral genişlik, gövdedeki ventrale bağlanan dorsalia sayısı, Femoral porlar, Sol subdijital lamel, Tibial plaklar, Dorsalia). ve dört metrik (Pileus uzunluğu, Pileus genişliği, Kafa uzunluğu, Kafa genişliği) karakterleri eşeysel dimorfizm açısından anlamlı bulunmuştur (p <0.05). Erkeklerin kafa boyutları nispeten daha uzundur ve bunla ilgili olarak Baş+Gövde uzunlukları da dişilerden daha fazladır. Ayrıca eşeysel çağrı bileşikleri de üreme dönemlerinde salındıklarından dolayı femoral por sayılarının erkeklerde dişilerden daha fazla olduğu bulunmuştur.
