Herpetofaunal inventory of Van Province, eastern Anatolia, Turkey

Abstract: In this study, amphibian and reptile diversity in the province of Van (eastern Anatolia, Turkey) was surveyed.  For this purpose, four herpetological excursions (20 days in total) were conducted covering all the districts of the province in 2014.  In this paper, up-to-date herpetofaunal inventory of Van Province, including two urodelian, four anuran, two chelonian, 15 saurian (lizards), and 14 ophidian (snakes) species (six amphibians and 31 reptiles in total) is presented.  To the best of our knowledge, Salam… Show more

“…The presence of mtDNA lineages 2 and 6 are also not excluded although we can expect that both prefer different environmental niches than lineage 8 due to their limited distribution range (Asztalos et al 2021). It is evident that lineage 8 reaches high elevations, e.g., more than 2,200 m in Armenia or 2,500 m in Türkiye (Van Province; Yıldız et al 2021). The overall distribution of lineage 8 also suggests that it is probably focusing on colder environments in higher elevations or northern latitudes that allowed colonization of wide areas of the Western Palearctic.…”

“…The province is thus highly elevated and zoogeographically influenced by the Middle Eastern herpetofauna, e.g., recently recorded Platyceps rhodorachis (Jan in de Filippi, 1865) (Yılmaz et al 2021). Due to the topography, the Hakkâri Province is herpetologically poorly explored compared to other provinces of eastern Türkiye (e.g., Bitlis or Van; Akman et al 2018;Yıldız et al 2021). However, the expected diversity of snakes seems to be comparable with surrounding areas (cf.…”

“…Adıyaman ilinden ilk kez kaydı verilen 6 türden, D. schmidti ülkemizde Batı Anadolu'nun yanı sıra İç Anadolu, Doğu ve Güneydoğu Anadolu bölgelerinde geniş bir yayılış sahasına sahip olup, araştırma bölgesine en yakın konumda olan Kahramanmaraş, Şanlıurfa ve Gaziantep illerindeki varlığı daha öncesinden ortaya konulmuştur [15,16,63]. Dağılış sahasını Güney ve Güneydoğu Anadolu'da, Mersin'den Mardin'e kadar bölgenin teşkil ettiği E. decemlineatus'un en kuzey dağılış noktası Tunceli sınırları içerisinde kalmaktadır [11].…”

“…Dağılış sahasını Güney ve Güneydoğu Anadolu'da, Mersin'den Mardin'e kadar bölgenin teşkil ettiği E. decemlineatus'un en kuzey dağılış noktası Tunceli sınırları içerisinde kalmaktadır [11]. Adı geçen türün, Adıyaman iline en yakın rapor edildiği lokaliteler Gaziantep ve Şanlıurfa'dan bilinmektedir [30,63]. Elaphe sauromates ülkemizin tüm bölgelerinde parçalı bir dağılış gösterirken, araştırma bölgesine komşu illerden Kahramanmaraş ve Malatya'dan da rapor edilmiştir [15,16].…”
