Abstract

Longevity and age of sexual maturity are key life history trait factors directly linked to ecological and evolutionary aspects. In this study, we determined age structure of Parvilacerta parva individuals from Sivas (Turkey) using skeletochronology. The maximum age was found to be seven years for females and six years for males of P. parva. A significant relationship was found between age and body size in individuals whose head length, head width and body length were measured. Additionally, it was seen that there is a significant relationship among body length, head length and head width.

Özet

Yaşam tarihi özelliklerinden; ömür uzunluğu ve eşeysel olgunluk yaşı, bireyin ekolojik ve evrimsel safhaları ile direkt bağlantılı kilit faktörlerdir. Bu çalışmada Sivas'tan (Türkiye) toplanan Parvilacerta parva bireylerinin iskelet kronolojisi yöntemi ile yaş yapıları belirlenmiştir. Maksimum yaş P. parva'nın dişi bireylerinde 7 yıl, erkeklerinde 6 yıl olarak bulunmuştur. Baş uzunluğu, baş genişliği ve vücut uzunluğu belirlenen bireylerde, yaş ve vücut boyu arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, vücut uzunluğu, baş uzunluğu ve baş genişliği arasında da anlamlı bir ilişki mevcuttur.
