Özet
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 biogeographic features that helps in understanding the biodiversity of Anatolia is the Anatolian diagonal, which has long been recognised as a biogeographic boundary between the central and eastern Anatolian floras and faunas, but the processes (i.e. historical, ecological or some combination of these) responsible for its origin and maintenance have not been well understood. The aim of this study was to assess whether the Anatolian diagonal corresponds with a significant environmental barrier. I used for this purpose ecological niche modelling and associated comparative metrics. First, I created virtual records in the Anatolian part of the Irano-Anatolian hotspot, and split these records into two …
