Five new regional records of the rock lizards in Caucasus are described. The distribution Darevskia alpina (Darevsky, 1967) on northern slope Mount Elbrus has been detailed: species was found Emmanuel glade and gorge Kyzylkol River. easternmost record D. is located upper stream Cherek Bezengi River Kabardino-Balkaria. caucasica vedenica (Darevsky et Roitberg, 1999) first territory Dagestan area...

Eimeria jirkamoraveci sp. n. is described from faeces of two specimens of the toad-headed, side-necked turtle Batrachemys heliostemma collected at Iquitos in Peru. Oocysts are ovoid to almost spherical, 10.6 (8-12) x 8.9 (7-10) microm, without micropyle, polar granule and oocyst residuum. One conically stretched end and three blunt conical tubercles at the opposite end of oocyst give it mitra-l...

Two species of rock lizards, the parthenogenetic D. dahli and sexually reproducing portschinskii , coexist in a rocky outcrop an area ca. 1 ha, vicinity Tbilisi, Georgia; location has been well-known since middle 1960s. The population density lizard is five times higher than that sexual breeder. We studied distribution active lizards space time over three consecutive years, during spring autumn...

Dünyanın gördüğü en büyük olaylardan birisi Birinci Dünya Savaşı’dır. Öncesi ve sonrasıyla, sebepleri sonuçlarıyla dünyanın tamamına yakınını etkilemiş bu savaşın tesirleri günümüzde bile hissedilmektedir. Savaşı kadar Osmanlı Devleti’nin savaşa neden nasıl girdiği de bir asırdan yana tartışılmaktadır. 20. yüzyıl başlarından itibaren, Almanların ordusundaki önce gizli sonrasında aşikâr olan ira...

Relationships among turtle species loosely categorized within the South American genus Phrynops are explored. Three once recognized genera (Batrachemys, Mesoclemmys and Phrynops) that were demoted to subgenera, and then synonymized with Phrynops, are demonstrated to warrant full recognition based on morphometric analysis, skull osteology, and mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequencing. Mesoclemm...

Abstract We genotyped multiple populations of all seven parthenogenetic species rock lizards, genus Darevskia, as well their putative sexual parental populations, using double digest RAD-sequencing genomic markers. Taking advantage the conserved homology ZW/ZZ sex chromosomes among lacertid we aligned our short sequence reads to a reference Z chromosome assembly common wall lizard Podarcis mura...
