abstract = {Aim The aims of this study are to establish a multi-locus
phylogeny-based hypothesis for the biogeographical relationship of
gastropods from the putative ancient Lake Egirdir, to test the
respective null hypothesis, to estimate the timing of biogeographical
events based on independent molecular clock approaches, and to
interpret the data with respect to the putative ancient character of
Lake Egirdir.
Location Lake Egirdir, western Taurus Lake District, Turkey.
Methods DNA sequences from the putatively only extant endemic taxon of
Lake Egirdir, Falsipyrgula pfeiferi, as well as representatives of
other pyrgulinid genera from Europe and western Asia are used for
phylogenetic analyses based on Bayesian inference. The respective null
hypothesis is tested utilizing parametric bootstrapping. The timing of
evolutionary events is estimated based on two independent molecular
clock approaches, which involve the modelling of judicious errors
associated with branch-length calculations and calibration points.
Results Bayesian inference indicates a very close relationship between
the Lake Egirdir and Ponto-Caspian taxa. Parametric bootstrapping},
