Age and sex differences in hibernation patterns in free-living Anatolian ground squirrels
Gur, Mutlu Kart; Gur, Hakan (ELSEVIER GMBH, 2015)Anatolian ground squirrels, Spermophilus xanthoprymnus (Bennett, 1835), are nearly endemic to Turkey. Various aspects of the biology of Anatolian ground squirrels have been studied. However, a detailed description of ... -
The Anatolian diagonal revisited: Testing the ecological basis of a biogeographic boundary
Gur, Hakan (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2016)The Asian part of Turkey, i.e. Anatolia, is the region where three of the world's 35 biodiversity hotspots meet, and interact: the Caucasus, Irano-Anatolian, and Mediterranean basin hotspots. One of the most distinctive ... -
Body temperature patterns and use of torpor in an alpine glirid species, woolly dormouse
Gur, Mutlu Kart; Bulut, Safak; Gur, Hakan; Refinetti, Roberto (SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2014)Woolly dormice, Dryomys laniger Felten and Storch (Senckenbergiana Biol 49(6):429-435, 1968), are a small (20-30 g), omnivorous (mainly insectivorous), nocturnal glirid species endemic to Turkey. Although woolly dormice ... -
Climate-driven range shifts and demographic events over the history of Kruper's Nuthatch Sitta krueperi
Perktas, Utku; Gur, Hakan; Saglam, Ismail K.; Quintero, Esther (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2015)Capsule This study is the first ever documented evidence of an interglacial refugium during the Last Interglacial for birds in Anatolia and suggests the need of a re-examination of the effects of the Last Interglacial on ... -
Do climate-driven altitudinal range shifts explain the intraspecific diversification of a narrow ranging montane mammal, Taurus ground squirrels?
Gur, Hakan; Perktas, Utku; Gur, Mutlu Kart (SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2018)Understanding how species have responded to strong climatic fluctuations accompanying glacial-interglacial cycles is critical to predicting their likely responses to future climate change, and therefore can help guide ... -
The effects of the Late Quaternary glacial-interglacial cycles on Anatolian ground squirrels: range expansion during the glacial periods?
Gur, Hakan (OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2013)The present study aimed to understand how Anatolian ground squirrels, Spermophilus xanthoprymnus (Bennett, 1835), have responded to global climate changes through the Late Quaternary glacialinterglacial cycles. Accordingly, ... -
The Effects of the Late Quaternary Glacial-Interglacial Cycles on the Biodiversity of Anatolia
Gur, Hakan (TMMOB JEOLOJI MUHENDISLERI ODASI, 2017)Large continental ice-sheets in the Northern Hemisphere have grown and retreated many times throughout the Quaternary. Times with and without large continental ice-sheets are known as glacial and interglacial periods, ... -
Historical demography of the Eurasian green woodpecker: integrating phylogeography and ecological niche modelling to test glacial refugia hypothesis
Perktas, Utku; Gur, Hakan; Ada, Eren (INST VERTEBRATE BIOLOGY AS CR, 2015)In this study, we re-evaluated historical demography of the Eurasian green woodpecker (Picus viridis) on the basis of previously published multi-locus mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) data and ecological niche modelling. We ... -
Why do Anatolian ground squirrels exhibit a Bergmannian size pattern? A phylogenetic comparative analysis of geographic variation in body size
Gur, Hakan (WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2010)A phylogenetic comparative analysis of geographic variation in body size of an obligately hibernating marmotine species (Anatolian ground squirrels, Spermophilus xanthoprymnus) is presented in relation to environmental ...
