Özet
Here we provide data on adult population size in the breeding period of Lissotriton vulgaris (Smooth newt) and Triturus ivanbureschi (Balkan-Anatolian crested newt) from Edirne, Turkey. The population sizes of the syntopic newts were estimated in three ponds (58m2, 27m2, 122m2) using a removal method. According to our data, the population sizes were calculated as 228 (range= 204-285), 19 (14-68), 162 (92-507) for L. vulgaris and 11 (11-21), 34 (24-103), 52 (35-160) for T. ivanbureschi, respectively. A female-biased sex ratio was observed for L. vulgaris, whereas a balanced sex ratio was observed for T. ivanbureschi.
