| Abstract |
|
In this study, 71 Emys orbicularis (Linnaeus, 1758) specimens from nine different localities in the Aegean region of Turkey were examined. For morphological comparison, 19 metric characters of the specimens and 35 ratios developed from these metric characters were investigated to establish the differences and similarities among various populations. In addition to the morphometric comparisons between the different populations, colour and pattern characteristics and sexual dimorphism were also considered. As a result, it is evident that the populations living near the coast of the Aegean Sea are similar to Emys orbicularis hellenica, whereas the populations closer to central Anatolia are somewhat similar to Emys orbicularis luteofusca.
