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 …

Palearctic water frogs (genus Pelophylax) are an outstanding model in ecology and
evolution, being widespread, speciose, either threatened or threatening to other species …

True frogs of the genus Rana are widely used as model organisms in studies of
development, genetics, physiology, ecology, behavior, and evolution. Comparative studies …

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 …

Aim Allopatric speciation is the primary mode of diversification in the Mediterranean Basin.
However, the contribution of climatic adaptation during this process is contradictory. In this …

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