The present study reports vehicle collisions of Bufotes viridis (The green toad) in Konya province from Turkey. Our study was performed in more than fifty localities on Yunak-Akşehir highway (D-695). The records were taken in a short time; it is important and remarkable to come across a large number of dead individuals of an amphibian species in a short time. Among all recorded mortalities (n= 246), the highest value belonged to subadults (45% of the cases), followed by juveniles (35% of the cases). The lowest rate among the carcasses was belonged to the adult individuals (20% of the cases). There can be many factors that cause the road kills: These factors are grouped according to the literature under the headings of “direct causes”, “indirect causes” and “potential causes” for the road kills. In this study, we evaluated the effects of some factors for Bufotes viridis. In general, all terrestrial and semi-aquatic amphibian species, which populations are located the roadsides, suffer from road kills. Because of this situation, there is a need for both further studies and habitat restorations for amphibians.

In the present study, we contributed to the knowledge of the distribution of the endemic lizard species, Pamphylian green lizard in Turkey and pointed out the northernmost localities of the species. Until recently, the occurrence of the species was only known from the Antalya and Mersin provinces of Turkey. According to the most recent records, it has been reported from some localities (Aşağı Kırıntı, Yukarı Kırıntı, Kasımlar, and Belence) in the Sütçüler district of the Isparta province. In our study, we also found individuals of the species in the Yakaafşar village of Aksu district, Isparta. In addition, we revealed the occurrence of the species from two localities in Ayvalıpınar village, one locality in Güldallı village, and one locality in Kesme village of Sütçüler district.
