In this study, comparison of body size and age of two populations of Ophisops elegans from different altitudes was carried out (Kepez, 180 m; Paşayaylası, 1250 m). We applied phalangeal skeletochronology to obtain the age of juveniles and adults by counting the lines of arrested growth (LAGs) in phalangeal cross-sections. Male-biased sexual dimorphism was observed in Kepez, while female-biased sexual dimorphism was determined in the Paşayaylası population. Both male and female individuals in Kepez and Paşayaylası populations reached sexual maturity at the age of 3. The maximum age or longevity was calculated as 7 years in males and 9 years in females. Considering all individuals, the Kepez population was found to be older than Paşayaylası population. For both populations, a significant positive correlation was found between age and size in males and females.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
