25231

In this study, the biometric properties of Lissotriton vulgaris (L., 1758) populations that are found in both the Anatolian and the Thrace parts of Istanbul were compared. The tailed frogs, in this resarch, were collected from 11 certain stations in Anatolian and Thrace parts of Istanbul. The collection was made by catching with hand and a trap having diameter of 20 cm. The samples were collected in glass container and fıxed with 20 % formaldehyde. The biometric measurements of the samples collected were done with a compass having the sensitivity of 0.01. The values belonged to Anatolian and Thrace samples were compared and by using t test the importance control were done. Important differences were found in biometric measurements in both areas. In addition, the coefficient of difference formula was used to test the subspecies status. As a result, the isolation effect of Bosphorous was evaluated.
