Based on 270 specimens from 7 populations of Lacerta alpina, L. caucasica, L. daghestanica and L. praticola, morphological relationships between the four species were studied for 7 meristic characters and 5 morphometric characters, using canonical variate analysis. In both scalation and morphometry, the contours and centroids of the studied populations form a trend: L. praticola – L. caucasica ...

Most members of the genus Calaxias are small to mediumsized, fast-swimming, mid-water fishes that can be either lacustrine or diadromous (Whitley 1935). However, one species, Calaxias cleaveri Scott 1934, differs so markedly from typical Tasmanian members of the genus that at one stage it was referred to tpe genus Saxilaga by Scott (1936). Meristic and morphometric comparison of the mainland Ta...

the current study aimed to examine the role of state-trait anxiety and resiliency in test anxiety. the research was conducted on a sample of 153 high students who completed questionnaire measures of state-trait anxiety (stai-t), trait resilience (cd-risc) and test anxiety (ta).  pearson correlation and regression analyze were used to data analyze. consistent with the assumption, results indicat...

One specimen of the shortfin neoscopelid Neoscopelus microchir Matsubara, 1943, has been recorded for first time on Porcupine Bank, southwestern Ireland, providing a new northern limit distribution eastern Atlantic. Morphometric and meristic parameters confirm taxonomic identification. However, DNA barcoding shows deficiencies in current taxonomy potential occurrence cryptic species. On this ba...

In this paper, 981 reared juveniles of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) were analysed, 721 of which were from a commercial hatchery located in Northern Italy (Venice, Italy) and 260 from the Hellenic Center for Marine Research (Crete, Greece). These individuals were from 4 different egg batches, for a total of 10 different lots. Each egg batch was split into two lots after hatching, and reared...

In this study, we report new locality records for Eumeces schneiderii and Trapelus ruderatus from Malatya, Eastern Anatolia. As the is about 60 km north of known distribution area E. Malatya T. first record province. A summary metric meristic characteristics was with color-pattern features given these specimens. Moreover, explored locality’s importance species biogeography via Anatolian diagona...

The population structure of the bluefish, Pomatomus saltatrix (Linnaeus, 1766), in Turkish waters is scarcely described literature. To identify any distinct units and reaffirm findings a previous study, four areas were selected: Aegean Sea, western Black eastern Sea Marmara. In this truss network morphometrics, meristics, otolith shape analyses successfully applied for different identification ...
