33°-36° doğu boylamlar arası orta Torosların dağ kurbağaları üzerinde morfolojik ve serolojik araştırmalar

In the present study, a total of 115 (65 , 50 ) specimens of mountain frogs from the mid-Taurus Range between east longitudes 33° and 36° were investigated from the morphological and serological points of view. From the data obtained, no differences were found at species level among the 3 populations from the region. Key Words : Mountain frogs, Rana macrocnemis, Morphology, Blood serum proteins, Electrophoresis
