Is the Spiny-tailed Lizard Darevskia rudis (Bedriaga, 1886) Active All Year?
Journal Title: Ecologia Balkanica - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
The current literature and our field observations have shown that spiny-tailed lizard may also be active in the winter season. Activity of Darevskia rudis in the February was recorded for the first time in the province of Giresun, Eastern Black Sea Region, Turkey. In conclusion, we assessed that the spiny-tailed lizard could be active throughout the year due to global climate changes.
