The phylogeny and historical biogeography of the Caucasian land snail genus Circassina
was reconstructed using multilocus amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) data …

The vast diversity of land snail forms is insufficiently understood even in seemingly familiar
taxa. This holds for Helix Linnaeus, 1758, a genus with several common edible species …

In this study, we provide a first estimation of the molecular diversity of the freshwater fishes of
Georgia. In addition to field collections, we integrated DNA barcode data obtained from …

In the present study, we performed gastropod analyses on loess–palaeosol sequences from
northeast Armenia (Southern Caucasia) covering at least three glacial–interglacial cycles …

The Caucasus and the adjacent Pontic Mountains in north-eastern Anatolia are home to
numerous endemic land snail genera and species. The diversity of the region is the result of …

Several taxa that are distributed in the Caucasus and/or the adjacent Pontic Mountains also
have representatives in the East Mediterranean region. These disjunctions could have been …

This paper presents a systematic revision and a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the
Caucasian land snail genus Fruticocampylaea. The genus is newly delimited based on the …

The phylogeography and population structure of land snails belonging to the
Caucasotachea atrolabiata complex in the Caucasus region was investigated to obtain a …

Species distribution modeling (SDM) allows us to define the potential range and identify key
factors that determine suitable habitat areas. In this study, predictions are made for the …

In the Caucasus, the total area taken up by glaciers is known to have reduced by 23% over
the last 20 years. This natural experiment allows for additive and replacement models of …
