Biodiversity analyses can greatly benefit from coherent species delimitation schemes and up-
to-date distribution data. In this article, we have made the daring attempt to delimit and map …

The last species list of the European herpetofauna was published by Speybroeck, Beukema
and Crochet (2010). In the meantime, ongoing research led to numerous taxonomic …

We provide a review and synthesis of key findings in phylogeographic research on terrestrial
animals in the Aegean archipelago (Greece) and surrounding regions (Greek mainland …

It is commonly assumed that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) evolves at a faster rate than
nuclear DNA (nuDNA) in animals. This has contributed to the popularity of mtDNA as a …

В 1993 г., через два года после того, как перестал существовать СССР, я подготовил
небольшую книгу на английском языке, которую издательства «Вестарп» и «Шпектрум» …

Taxa with vast distribution ranges often display unresolved phylogeographic structures and
unclear taxonomic boundaries resulting in hidden diversity. This hypothesis-driven study …

We characterize divergence times, intraspecific diversity and distributions for recently
recognized lineages within the Hyla arborea species group, based on mitochondrial and …

This paper represents an update of the list of Italian amphibians and reptiles published 15
years ago by Razzettiet al.(2006) and of the checklist published in 1993 by the late …

Much progress in speciation research stems from documenting patterns of morphological
and genetic variation in hybrid zones. Contrasting patterns of marker introgression in …

Forficula auricularia (the European earwig) is possibly a complex of cryptic species. To test
this hypothesis, we performed:(1) a phylogeographic study based on fragments of the …
