Conservation Biogeography of the Sahara‐Sahel: additional protected areas are n...
Brito, José C.; Tarroso, Pedro; Vale, Cândida G.; Martínez‐Freiría, Fernando; Boratyński, Zbyszek; Campos, João C.; Ferreira, Sónia; Godinho, RaquelAim Identification of priority conservation areas and evaluation of coverage of the current protected areas are urgently needed to halt the biodiversity loss. Identifying regions combining similar environmental traits (climate regions) and species assemblages (biogroups) is needed for conserving the biodiversity patterns and processes. We identify climate regions and biogroups and map species diversity across t...
Adding Acanthodactylus beershebensis to the mtDNA phylogeny of the Acanthodacty...
Carretero, Miguel A.; Fonseca, Miguel M.; García-Muñoz, Enrique; Harris, D. James; Brito, José C.The phylogenetic affinities of Acanthodactylus beershebensis, a highly endangered lacertid lizard endemic to the Neguev (Israel), were assessed using mtDNA markers. Fragments of 12S and 16S rRNA were analysed and compared with already published sequences of Acanthodactylus. Results corroborate the taxonomic placement of A. beershebensis as a member of the A. pardalis group but place it within a polytomy at the ...
