Overwintered Hatchlings of [i]Emys orbicularis[/i] from Lake Sülüklü (Western Anatolia, Turkey)
Journal Title: Ecologia Balkanica - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
During our monitoring survey of amphibians and [i]Emys orbicularis[/i] in Lake Sülüklü (Western Anatolia, Turkey), we observed four overwintered hatchlings of European pond turtle on May 4 and 10, 2010. The average straightline maximum carapace length of the neonates captured was 26.48 mm and their average weight was 4.18 g. This observation is the second record for the Turkish population of [i]Emys orbicularis[/i].
