Taxonomy, biogeography and evolution of Euproctus (Amphibia: Salamandridae), with the resurrection of the genus Calotriton and the description of a new endemic species from the Iberian Peninsula (2005, background): “…(including several amphibians), which, for more than 600 000 years, had been able to disperse across land between the continents and islands of the Mediterranean basin (Arntzen & García-París, 1995; García-París & Jockusch, 1999; Carranza & Arnold, 2004; Fromhage et al., 2004; Veith et al., 2004).”
The phylogeny of crested newts (Triturus cristatus superspecies): nuclear and mitochondrial genetic characters suggest a hard polytomy, in line with the paleogeography of the centre of origin (2007, background): “Indeed, present day sea straights such as the Bosporus and the Straights of Dover and Gibraltar are effective barriers to dispersal (Beerli et al., 1996; Veith et al., 2004; Recuero et al., 2007).”
Palaearctic biogeography revisited: evidence for the existence of a North African refugium for Western Palaearctic biota (2014, background): “…is well supported by genetic studies for many salt-water-intolerant taxa such as amphibians (e.g. Steinfartz et al., 2000; Fromhage et al., 2004; Veith et al., 2004, 2009) and sedentary taxa such as scorpions (e.g. Sousa et al., 2010, 2012; Habel et al., 2012), but also for some…”
The Strait of Gibraltar as a melting pot for plant biodiversity (2008, background): “This episode of land-bridge connection allowed colonization and exchange of species between Iberia and N Africa (Veith et al., 2004; Agustı́ et al., 2006) enhancing its biogeographical significance.”
Mitochondrial differentiation and biogeography of Hyla meridionalis (Anura: Hylidae): an unusual phylogeographical pattern (2007, background): “, 2006) but also in groups with limited overseas dispersal capacities such as the newt Pleurodeles waltl (Carranza & Arnold, 2003; Veith et al., 2004), the lizards Chamaeleo chamaeleon (Paulo et al.”
Mitochondrial phylogeography of European pond turtles (Emys orbicularis, Emys trinacris) – an update (2007, background): “This implies a complicated colonization history, from Europe to North Africa and back to Europe, as recently proposed for the ribbed newt Pleurodeles waltl (Veith et al., 2004).”
The Straits of Gibraltar: barrier or bridge to Ibero-Moroccan bat diversity? (2009, background): “Interestingly, this period coincided with important geographical and environmental changes associated with the Messinian crisis that promoted allopatric speciation events in bats (Hulva et al., 2004) and other organisms (Veith et al., 2004).”
A new ergotaxonomy of the family Salamandridae Goldfuss, 1820 (Amphibia, Urodela) (2009, background): “Montori & Herrero (2004: 51) proposed to use the generic nomen Lissotriton Bell, 1839, whereas Litvinchuk et al. (2005: 317) proposed to use the nomen ‘‘Lophinus Rafinesque, 1815’’.”
Mitochondrial phylogeography, contact zones and taxonomy of grass snakes (Natrix natrix, N. megalocephala) (2013, background): “It is well known that Algerian and Tunisian populations are often highly distinct from Moroccan ones (e.g. Pleurodeles spp., Carranza & Arnold 2004; Veith et al. 2004; Hyla meridionalis, Recuero et al. 2007; Mauremys leprosa, Fritz et al. 2006; Testudo graeca, Fritz et al. 2009a; Chamaeleo…”
