Simple Summary The chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar) is an important bird species with
significant economic and ecological value. Every year, thousands of partridges raised in …

Insect speciation is among the most fascinating topics in evolutionary biology; however, its
underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Allopatric speciation represents one of the major …

Our study focuses on the origin, dispersal patterns, evolutionary strategies and systematics
of Poecilimon, the largest bush‐cricket genus in the Palaearctic with over 150 taxa …

Identifying the drivers of microgeographic speciation (ie, speciation over small, local
geographic scales) is key to understand the origin of speciose groups. Here, we use …

Due to active tectonic evolution of the Aegean Area during Miocene and Pleistocene, the
Balkans and Anatolia have repeatedly connected and disconnected causing isolation and …

Parthenogenetic lineages are known to rapidly colonize large areas that become available
after glacial periods as parthenogenetic reproduction is beneficial over mating when the …

The peripatric or budding species model has remained theoretical until recently. The habitat
preference and range pattern of the mountainous Psorodonotus venosus species group …

The complex and dynamic history of the Anatolian Peninsula during the Pleistocene set the
stage for species diversification. However, the evolutionary history of biodiversity in the …

The possession of wings and ability to fly are a unifying character of higher insects, but
secondary loss of wings is widespread. Within the bushcrickets, the subfamily …

Although the high‐latitude range margins in E urope and N orth A merica are intensively
studied, attention is gradually turned towards the taxa/populations inhabiting glacial refugia …
