Summary
This study gives detailed information on the size and number of the various blood cells from a sample of the Caucasus Frog, Pelodytes caucasicus, based on 10 ♂ and 10 ♀ from Uzungöl (Trabzon province). P. caucasicus does not show sexual dimorphism in the number and size of blood cells; the erythrocytes of P. caucasicus are smaller than those of the other Turkish anurans, but their number is higher.
