The use of contemporary software in determining the population density of species of the Colubridae and Psommophiidae families

Abstract

This research provides information on using contemporary software for assessing the density of Colubridae and Psammophiidae family representatives in the Kashkadarya region. TPS64until and TPS264Dig softwares were utilized for the mathematical modeling of molted skins of species of these families. Subsequently, the models underwent Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in Morpho J, enabling the classification of skin samples into their respective species. Recalculation of species population density was then conducted by aggregating the individuals of each species.
