Özet
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 conservation strategies. Using molecular phylogeography and ecological niche modelling, we aimed to understand how a newly recognized cryptic montane mammal (Spermophilus taurensis, Taurus ground squirrels) has responded to global climate changes through the Late Quaternary glacial-interglacial cycles as a means to better predict their likely responses to future climate change. Accordingly, 51 cytochrome b mitochondrial DNA sequences from throughout the known distribution of Taurus ground squirrels were used to investigate the intraspecific diversification. Besides molecular phylogeography, ecological niche modelling was also employed to get insights into possible climate …
