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
