Population size of the marsh frog (Rana ridibunda Pallas, 1771) in Lake Yayla (Denizli, Turkey)

The population size of marsh frogs (Rana ridibunda) was estimated using the mark-recapture method in Lake Yayla (Buldan, Denizli, Turkey). According to the results, the mean estimated population was 14,733 and the sex ratio was female biased (male: female, 0.56). The main limiting factors of the mar...

Zusammenfassung:The population size of marsh frogs (Rana ridibunda) was estimated using the mark-recapture method in Lake Yayla (Buldan, Denizli, Turkey). According to the results, the mean estimated population was 14,733 and the sex ratio was female biased (male: female, 0.56). The main limiting factors of the marsh frog population are also outlined. Bu çalışmada, Yayla Gölü (Buldan, Denizli)ndeki bataklık kurbağalarının populasyon büyüklüğü markalama-tekrar yakalama metodu kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, türün buradaki ortalama populasyon büyüklüğü, 14.733 ve eşey oranı, dişi eğilimlidir (erkek: dişi, 0,56). Bataklık kurbağası populasyonunu sınırlayıcı faktörlere de dikkat çekilmiştir.
