Abstract The “Evolution Canyon” model reveals evolution in action across life at a
microscale involving biodiversity divergence, adaptation and incipient sympatric ecological …

Abstract The “Evolution Canyon”(EC) microsite model unfolds active evolution across life. It
highlights biodiversity evolution, ecological sympatric speciation (SS) with gene flow, global …

Background Local natural laboratories, designated by us as the “Evolution Canyon” model,
are excellent tools to study regional and global ecological dynamics across life. They …

The diversity of the terrestrial snails of the Palestinian Territories was presented with a total
of 42 species in 26 genera representing 15 families. Families Enidae and Hygromiidae had …

Studies at a microsite scale, where most of the environmental variation can be reduced to a
few factors, may help to identify the actual contribution of a particular environmental factor to …

Background Developmental instability of shelled gastropods is measured as deviations from
a perfect equiangular (logarithmic) spiral. We studied six species of gastropods at 'Evolution …

In this study, Truncatellina cylindrica (A. Férussac, 1807), Truncatellina rothi (Hesse, 1916),
and Truncatellina haasi Venmans, 1957 were investigated, and a lectotype for Isthmia rothi …

The central question of evolutionary biology, the problem of speciation, was formulated more
than 100 years ago. The basic scenario for the appearance of new species is allopatric …

Descriptions, distribution maps and figures are given for all taxa of the genus Pene Pallary,
1929. The distribution area of the genus ranges from the southern part of Turkey (provinces …
