Early Pleistocene invasion of Pontocaspian Fauna into the Denizli Basin (SW Anatolia)

New stratigraphic constraints and implications for Aegean–Pontocaspian hydrological exchange

Aquatic biodiversity hotspots often emerge in regions with active tectonism, diverse climate conditions and complex basin configurations enabling episodic biotic isolation and exchange. The Anatolian microcontinent, located between the Mediterranean and Pontocaspian regions, has ...
The Caspian Sea is an evolutionary island whose rich and endemic fauna have evolved in partial isolation over the past two million years. Baseline studies of pre-20th Century communities are needed in order to assess the severity of the current Caspian biodiversity cri ...
Palaeoecological records are required to test ecological hypotheses necessary for conservation strategies as short-term observations can insufficiently capture natural variability and identify drivers of biotic change. Here, we demonstrate the importance of an integrated conserva ...
