Natrix natrix (Linnaeus, 1758) is a common species distributed from Central Europe to Asia. In this range, it forms four subspecies that include several mitochondrial evolutionary lineages. One of the lineages, so-called mtDNA lineage 8, has wide distribution Baltic area Anatolia and Kazakhstan. Anatolia, meets others, however, their occurrence unclear, especially in south-eastern Türkiye where...

BACKGROUND HLA genes are highly polymorphic and certain alleles are frequent only in specific populations. Therefore, HLA is a unique tool for studying the genetic relation between different populations. Iranians are ethnically diverse people and one of the major ethnic groups in Iran is Lur population inhabiting along the central and southern parts of Zagros Chain Mountain. OBJECTIVE Genetic...

This paper is a complement to the Tectonometamorphic Map of the Canadian Shield, and contains a brief description of the metamorphic history of Proterozoic orogenic belts and rock sequences in the Canadian Shield in Ontario, with a focus on rocks of the Southern and Grenville provinces. Metamorphism in the Southern Province has generally been attributed to the Penokean orogeny (~1879–1820 Ma), ...

We explore the connections between crustal shortening, volcanism, and mantle dynamics in Atlas of Morocco. In response to compressional forces strain localization, this intraplate orogen has evolved far from convergent plate margins. Convective effects, such as lithospheric weakening plume-related contributed important ways building high topography. seek better understand how processes interact...

A rare psammosteid heterostracan (Agnatha) occurrence in the Devonian of the Prague Basin is indicative of a dry land influence in the regional palaeogeography. This argument is strongly supported by the appearance of vascular plants, but the studied vertebrates allow us to presume a local brackish water environment. These conditions are considered to be related to a supposed land in the vicini...
