Stillbirth Observation in Montivipera albizona (Nilson, Andren & Flardh 1990) (White-banded Mountain Viper)
Abstract
A female Montivipera
albizona (White-banded mountain viper) which was preserved in a terrarium
at Reptilia biology and ecology laboratory, Zoology Section Department of
Biology Ege University Faculty of Science, gave stillbirth repeatedly in
October and November. Dead juveniles were weighed on a precision scale, lengths
were measured and photographed. The weights of the juveniles were weighted as
1,350 g and 0,725 g, and the lengths were measured as 10 and 9 cm,
respectively. The obtained data provide an important contribution to the
reproductive biology of the Montivipera albizona (Nilson, Andren &
Flardh 1990).

Abstract
Ege Üniversitesi Fen Fakültesi Biyoloji Bölümü Zooloji
Anabilim Dalı’nda bulunan Reptilia biyolojisi ve ekolojisi araştırma
laboratuvarındaki teraryumda muhafaza edilen 1 adet dişi Montivipera albizona (Beyaz bantlı dağ engereği), Ekim ve Kasım
aylarında art arda ölü doğumlar gerçekleştirmiştir. Ölü jüvenil bireyler hassas
terazide tartılmış, uzunlukları ölçülmüş ve fotoğrafları çekilmiştir.
Jüvenillerin ağırlıkları sırasıyla 1,350 ve 0,725 g, uzunlukları ise 10 ve 9 cm
olarak ölçülmüştür. Elde edilen veriler Montivipera
albizona (Nilson, Andren & Flardh 1990)’nın üreme biyolojisine önemli katkı sağlamaktadır
