Özet
Taxonomic identity of 209 wood mice (Apodemus) from Turkish islands of Gokceada and Bozcaada was evaluated on the basis of cranial characteristics, and using comparative mainland material from European and Asiatic Turkey. Specimens from Gokceada belonged to A. flavicollis, but differed from the mainland sample in having longer incisive foramen and shorter palatinum. Bozcaada was populated by A. hermonensis, which is the first record of this species on any island. Wood mice were the most common small mammals on both islands; their dominance on Gokceada was 39.6% and on Bozcaada 92.3%. We discuss zoogeographic relations of the Aegean islands on the basis of four Apodemus species recorded there so far.
