The phalangeal diaphyseal cross-sections of 54 individuals studied (12o, 42f) showed that females are on average older than males: the ages ranged from 6 to 14 years, with an average age of 8.8 years in males and 10.9 years in females. Sexual maturity is reached at an age of 4-5 years in both sexes. The slow growth and the longevity make the species vulnerable.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSkeletochronologygrowthlongevityNeurergus strauchiiAnatolia NewtEastern AnatoliaArticle61433233810.1080/09397140.2015.1101926Q3WOS:0003636958000052-s2.0-84946477857Q3
