What is it about?
This study is about the Anatolian diagonal, which has long been recognised as a biogeographic boundary between the central and eastern Anatolian floras and faunas. It aims to assess whether the Anatolian diagonal is associated with a steep environmental gradient, and therefore corresponds with a significant environmental barrier.

Why is it important?
This study is important because it is about one of the most distinctive biogeographic features that helps in understanding the biodiversity of Anatolia, the Anatolian diagonal.
Perspectives
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Ahi Evran University. I study the evolutionary, behavioral, and physiological ecology of ground squirrels (the genus Spermophilus). My work also focuses on the effects of global climate changes on birds and mammals.
