| Climate is well known as the main driver of species distributions. In this study, I focused on Geyik Mountains and surrounding areas to illustrate how complex topography and climatic conditions have shaped the distribution patterns of species/communities and therefore the biodiversity of the Mediterranean Taurus Mountains, one of the most biologically diverse areas in the Mediterranean Basin biodiversity hotspot. Accordingly, I used an ecological niche modelling approach, which has been widely used in recent biogeographic studies. I chose Taurus ground squirrels (Spermophilus taurensis) and coniferous forests as the representatives of high- and low-altitude species/communities, respectively. The results simply illustrate how complex topography and temperature and precipitation gradients have had a substantial role in shaping the distribution patterns of species/communities and therefore the biodiversity of the Mediterranean Taurus Mountains. |
