Özet

In this study, some life history characteristics (27 adult and 7 subadult specimens) of a highland population (S & uuml;t & ccedil;& uuml;ler) of the Lacerta pamphylica species in Isparta province of T & uuml;rkiye were investigated by applying the skeletochronology method. The mean age and SVL values were 5.67 +/- 0.50 years and 106.28 +/- 2.25 mm in adult males and 5.33 +/- 0.46 years and 102.65 +/- 2.65 mm in adult females in the population. The age range varies between 3-10 years in males and 3-8 years in females. The age of subadult males and subadult females was 2 years. The presented study provides information on the age of the species Lacerta pamphylica for the first time.
