Distribution patterns of Hermann's Tortoise Testudo hermanni GMELIN, 1789, in the region of former Yugoslavia
Abstract:
The distribution of Hermann's Tortoise Testudo hermanni GMELIN, 1789, in
the territory of former Yugoslavia was reviewed based on the records
published since the end of the 19th century and the authors'
observations.
Although anthropogenic translocation of tortoises evidently occurred
along the Adriatic coast, some populations in the northern parts of the
Adriatic could be relicts of an originally continuous distribution.
