Mauremys rivulata - data request

[Berislav Horvatic]

A young colleague from the Croatian Herpetological Society asked me to post this request
in her name. (She was afraid that you might ignore someone totally unknown at this forum,
who had just registered a minute earlier. So, I do guarantee that this is serious.)

Respected colleagues,
my name is Ana and I am currently working in the Croatian herpetological society.
With my colleagues from the southern Balkans I am preparing a manuscript about
the distribution of the Balkan terrapin, Mauremys rivulata.
To this purpose we have been collecting data about its distribution throughout the
Southern Balkans (Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Macedonia), but also for Emys
orbicularis.

If you have some data you are willing to share, we would be very grateful.

Please contact me at: ana.stih2@gmail.com.

Best regards,
Ana Štih.

Only the mentioned countries, or also Greece and/or Bulgaria? I only have very few for Montenegro, which I'm guessing are well-known too, but I'm always happy to contribute.

Ana Štih:
We are gathering data only for the above mentioned countries: Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Macedonia.
Data from other countries will not be included in this manuscript.

I only have very few for Montenegro, which I'm guessing are well-known too, but I'm always happy to contribute.

Bero:
A lot of foreign fieldherpers have been visiting Montenegro recently, but I strongly suspect that Montenegro
is actually quite unexplored "officially", so I guess any data from Montenegro would be welcome.

Here are my records from Montenegro and Croatia - but some are quite "old"
