Eremias strauchi Kessler, 1878’in Türkiye’deki En Batı Kaydı ve Potansiyel Yayılışı

Türler yeryüzündeki coğrafi alanlarda yayılış gösterirken birçok biyotik ve abiyotik değişkenden etkilenmektedirler. Bu faktörler, türlerin yaşadıkları habitatlardaki yaşam ile ilgili bütün gereksinimlerini oluşturup türlerin birbirleri arasındaki ekolojik bariyerini oluşturmaktadır. Sunulan bu çalışmada, Eremias strauchi’nin Erzurum (Horasan) ilinden ilk defa lokalitekaydı yapılmış olup bu kayıt türün yayılış alanındaki en batı lokalitesini teşkil etmektedir. Ayrıca türün Türkiye’deki yayılışının belirlenmesindeki biyoiklimsel faktörlerin neler olduğu hakkında da bilgiler verilmiştir. Bu durum E. strauchi’nin karasal iklime uyum sağladığını ve habitat gereksinimlerini de bu yönde tercih ettiğini göstermektedir.

The Potential Distribution and Westernmost Record of Eremias strauchi Kessler, 1878 in Turkey

Species are affected by many biotic and abiotic variables while distributed in the geographical areas on the earth. These factors constitute all the life-related needs of the species in their habitats and constitute the ecological barrier between the species. In this study, E. strauchi was recorded for the first time from Erzurum province and this record constitutes the westernmost locality of the species. Moreover, information on the bioclimatic factors in determining the distribution of the species in Turkey is given. This shows that E. strauchi has adapted to the terrestrial climate and prefers its habitat requirements accordingly.
