The Anatolian Journal of Family Medicine is an international periodical on family medicine and primary health care, published three times a year independent, unbiased, double-blinded peer-review principles.

A 3D density structure of the lithosphere and upper mantle beneath eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS) its adjacent region was constructed based on gravity anomaly inversion constrained by a seismic tomography model. Gravity effects terrain crust were removed from observed field (EIGEN-6C4) to obtain residual (RMGA). The distribution investigated. process an initial model projected shear-wave veloc...

The genus Anatololacerta is distributed in the eastern Mediterranean region including Asia Minor and some east Aegean islands. Recent phylogenetic studies suggested that this displayed cryptic diversity was divided into five species: A. anatolica, pelasgiana, ibrahimi, finikensis danfordi. ecological niche differentiations of these species have not been studied so far. Our aims for study were t...

Original scientific paper A GNSS network of 36 points was established in 2006 in the eastern part of the North Anatolian Fault Zone, which is located between Tokat and Erzincan. GNSS measurements were made in 2006 ÷ 2008 in the Kelkit valley and these points’ velocities were calculated. This study compares GNSS velocities estimated with different datum definitions and the effects on fault locki...

Several authors have claimed that radiocarbon dates in the Ancient Near East are too early. Herein, a hypothesis that might explain this is presented. Marine degassing of “old” carbon (i.e. 14C-deficient C), induced by upwelling of old subsurface water, has been observed, in modern times, to cause century-scale 14C ages in the surface atmosphere. A review of the Mediterranean Sea post-ice-age c...

The genus Anthemis L., assigned by Bremer (1994) to the tribe Anthemideae (subtribe Anthemidinae) of the Asteraceae, comprises ca. 210 species. The Anthemidinae consist of the genus Anthemis with provisional addition of the monotypic genus NanantheaDC (Bremer, 1994). Anthemis wiedemanniana Fisch. & C.A. Mey. (section Cota) is an endemic species distributed in the Mediterranean, the Middle and t...
