    Systematics and Biogeography of Stenodactylus Geckos

    Metallinou et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2012, 12:258 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/12/258 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Conquering the Sahara and Arabian deserts: systematics and biogeography of Stenodactylus geckos (Reptilia: Gekkonidae) Margarita Metallinou1, Edwin Nicholas Arnold2, Pierre-André Crochet3, Philippe Geniez4, José Carlos Brito5, Petros Lymberakis6, Sherif Baha El Din7, Roberto Sindaco8, Michael Robinson9 and Salvador Carranza1* Abstract Background: The evolutionary history of the biota of North Africa and Arabia is inextricably tied to the complex geological and climatic evolution that gave rise to the prevalent deserts of these areas. Reptiles constitute an exemplary group in the study of the arid environments with numerous well-adapted members, while recent studies using reptiles as models have unveiled interesting biogeographical and diversification patterns. In this study, we include 207 specimens belonging to all 12 recognized species of the genus Stenodactylus. Molecular phylogenies inferred using two mitochondrial (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA) and two nuclear (c-mos and RAG-2) markers are employed to obtain a robust time-calibrated phylogeny, as the base to investigate the inter- and intraspecific relationships and to elucidate the biogeographical history of Stenodactylus, a genus with a large distribution range including the arid and hyper-arid areas of North Africa and Arabia. Results: The phylogenetic analyses of molecular data reveal the existence of three major clades within the genus Stenodactylus, which is supported by previous studies based on morphology. Estimated divergence times between clades and sub-clades are shown to correlate with major geological events of the region, the most important of which is the opening of the Red Sea, while climatic instability in the Miocene is hypothesized to have triggered diversification.

    OMAN DESERT TREK in the Footsteps of Thesiger

    OMAN DESERT TREK In the Footsteps of Thesiger This five day journey through the sands of Oman, accompanied by Bedouin and camels, will provide students with the opportunity to learn more about Oman’s Desert Bedouin culture, as they explore the dramatic Sharqiya (Wahiba) sands. During their Desert Journey students will be taught how to bake their own bread under the sand, to grind their own cardoman coffee, and to navigate by the sun and the stars. They’ll return home motivated, refreshed and energised. The ‘In the Footsteps of Thesiger’ journey involves trekking on foot through the desert, using camels for support. Our journey through the sands follows that of an ancient trade route across the sands called the Darb Muqta’a Habl, which translates as ‘the route that cuts between the tallest dunes’, connecting the coast of the Arabian sea to the Eastern Hajar mountains.

    Destination Oman, UAE & Arabian Peninsula

    4 On the Road JENNY WALKER Coordinating Author It was on the fringe of the Sharqiya Sands (p216) in Oman when Abdullah al-Wahabi said ‘Come! You, me, we go together with camel.’ I looked across the desert and thought of Lady Montague plodding into the sunset on her mount. Then I noticed the Mitsubishi and realised that the modern equivalent of hitch- ing a ride with the Bedu is distinctly less glamorous. I’m standing here sizing up my travel companions, wondering whether I might wait for the bus instead. STUART BUTLER This photo was taken in the Tihama (p464) in Yemen. I saw a group of children selling two hawks on the roadside and so, being an animal caring type (and possibly a bit naive), I bought them both, went a little way out of the village and released them. Yes, I know the children probably went straight out and caught some more, but I can happily report that these two are busy massacring the local rodent population as we speak. Sorry Mr Mouse! 5 ANDREA SCHULTE-PEEVERS There’s something intensely spiritual about the vast expanses of the southern United Arab Emirates. Silent desert where only the unseen wind moves. The haunting beauty of rippling dunes, sensual and majestic. Shifting hues and moods as the sun arcs across the sky in timeless, eternal fashion. This is a land of ancient murmurings and, if you sit very still, they will speak to you. IAIN SHEARER Friends of friends had taken pity on a dusty traveller and generously invited me to lunch.

    8.12.2020 AVISO JURÍDICO Las Autoridades Competentes En

    8.12.2020 AVISO JURÍDICO Las autoridades competentes en materia de aviación civil de los Estados miembros de la Unión Europea sólo pueden inspeccionar las aeronaves de las compañías aéreas que operan vuelos con origen o destino en aeropuertos de la Unión; además, dado el carácter aleatorio de dichas inspecciones, resulta imposible comprobar todas las aeronaves que aterrizan en cada aeropuerto de la Unión. En consecuencia, el hecho de que una compañía aérea no aparezca en la lista comunitaria no supone automáticamente que cumpla las normas de seguridad aplicables. En caso de que una compañía aérea que aparece en la lista comunitaria considere que cumple las condiciones técnicas y los requisitos establecidos en las normas internacionales de seguridad aplicables, puede solicitar a la Comisión la apertura del proceso para ser excluida de la lista. Se ha hecho todo lo posible por verificar la identidad exacta de todas las compañías aéreas incluidas en la lista comunitaria, en particular mediante la inclusión de: el código literal específico (y único) que la OACI asigna a cada compañía aérea, el Estado que otorgó la licencia y el número del certificado de operador aéreo (o licencia de explotación). No obstante, no ha resultado posible llevar a cabo una verificación completa en todos los casos, debido al hecho de que no existe información disponible referente a algunas compañías aéreas que operan al límite, o completamente al margen, del código de aviación reconocido a nivel internacional. Por lo tanto, puede darse la posibilidad de que existan compañías que operen de buena fe con el mismo nombre comercial que alguna de las compañías aéreas incluidas en la lista comunitaria.
