Hi, I am Tamer ALBAYRAK
Anatolia has very important biodiversity due to geographic structure and climatic conditions. We try to understand to evolutionary process of the birds in population genetic. If you want, you can help us understand that.
We have a simple mission: to understand the evolutionary process and phylogeography of Anatolian birds. Our genbank has more than 3000 speciments, bloods or feathers of 95 species. All the birds were realised after the taken the blood or feather in the chatced area.
Nearly all photos were taken by me in the web

We’re mainly focus on Anatolian bird biodiversity. We catch the birds from all part of Turkey for population genetic and phylogeographic studies. You can join us as volunteer.

Genetical studies are done in Molecular Ornithology Lab. We usually use mitecondrial genes and micro satellites.
