The amphibian fauna of the Kingdom of Morocco was traditionally regarded as poor and
closely related to its European counterpart. However, an increase in research during the last …

We used GIS and maximum entropy to predict the potential distribution of six snake species
belong to three families in Kroumiria (Northwestern Tunisia): Natricidae (Natrix maura and …

The prevalence of Hepatozoon parasites in 460 lizards from North Africa was studied by
amplification and sequencing of the 18S rRNA gene. The phylogenetic analysis of the 18S …

Aim To incorporate evolutionary processes into conservation planning using species
distribution patterns and environmental gradients as surrogates for genetic diversity …

Observational data collected from bibliography and during herpetological surveys in
northern Morocco between 1989 and 2014 were plotted to generate updated distribution …

The integration of spatial area prioritization algorithms and species distribution modelling
has shown great promise in conservation planning in recent years. However, despite the fact …

The identification of species-rich areas and their prognosticated turnover under climate
change are crucial for the conservation of endemic taxa. This study aims to identify areas of …

Recent integration of ecological niche models in phylogeographic studies is improving our
understanding of the processes structuring genetic variation across landscapes. Previous …

Some general principles of zoogeography are considered. The regionalization based on
various animal groups might result in different zoogeographic schemes. Therefore, it would …

Ecological niche-based models were developed in peripheral populations of Vipera latastei
in North Africa to: 1) identify environmental factors related to species occurrence; 2) identify …
