Climatic Niche Divergence and Conservatism Promote Speciation in Snake-Eyed Skinks (Sauria: Scincidae): New Insight into the Evolution and Diversification of Ablepharus Species
Vaissi, Somaye; Kurnaz, Muammer; Şahin, Mehmet Kürşat; Hernandez, Axel (Springer, 2023)The degree to which closely related species conserve or diverge in their niche characteristics may provide insight into evolutionary and diversification processes, as well as some understanding of broad-scale biogeographic ... -
A contribution to the biogeography and taxonomy of two Anatolian mountain brook newts, Neurergus barani and N. strauchii (Amphibia: Salamandridae) using ecological niche modeling
Kurnaz, Muammer; Şahin, Mehmet Kürşat (2021)The Anatolian newt, Neurergus strauchii, is an endemic Anatolian species. Until recently, N. strauchii was represented by three subspecies. It has been discussed within a recent phylogenetic study in which the subspecies ... -
A Contribution to the Biogeography of Ablepharus anatolicus and A. budaki (Squamata: Scincidae) Using Ecological Niche Modeling in Turkey
Kurnaz, Muammer; Yousefkhani, Seyyed Saeed Hosseinian (Institute of Systematics and Evolution of Animals, 2021)The Anatolian Peninsula is very richly biodiverse in terms of its location and with new studies, this wealth has gradually increased as new taxa of Anatolian origin are added to the literature. Ablepharusbudaki and A. ... -
Geographic distribution of two Montivipera taxa using ecological niche modeling
Kurnaz, Muammer (Springer, 2023)Ecological niche modeling predicts the potential distribution areas of species and contributes to measuring the niche differentiation among taxa. Montivipera albizona and M. bulgardaghica are two mountain viper taxa ... -
Hidden Diversity in a Narrow Valley: Description of New Endemic Palearctic Rock Lizard Darevskia (Squamata: Lacertidae) Species from Northeastern Turkey
Kurnaz, Muammer; Sahin, Mehmet Kursat; Eroglu, Ali Ihsan (BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH CENTER, 2022)Darevskia is a particularly species-rich radiation of Palearctic rock lizards from the Caucasus region. Thanks to intense systematic and taxonomic research, the knowledge of species-level diversity within this genus has ... -
A new cryptic species of the Darevskia parvula group from NE Anatolia (Squamata, Lacertidae)
Ilgaz, Çetin (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022)In this study, we re-examine the Darevskia parvula group comprehensively using morphology, osteology and mitochondrial phylogeny, and describe a new endemic species from Turkey: Darevskia tuniyevisp. nov. A total of 257 ... -

Potential geographic distribution and habitat utilization of Lacerta viridis (Squamata: Lacertidae) in northern Türkiye
Şahin, Mehmet Kürşat; Kurnaz, Muammer (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024)The genus Lacerta, particularly the green lizard (Lacerta viridis), is a significant lizard group in the Western Palearctic. This study aims to predict its geographic range in Northern Türkiye and identify key habitat types ... -
Predicted current and future distribution of the fire salamander, Salamandra infraimmaculata in Turkey
Kurnaz, Muammer (Arak university, 2022)Although the fire salamander, Salamandra infraimmaculata, is relatively distributed in a broad area in the Middle East, it lives in a narrow area in southeast and south Anatolia in Turkey. The habitats of the species have ... -
