IV) TEACHING EXPERIENCES

I teach the following courses on the Systematic Botany and Plant Molecular Phylogeny, Ecology and Phytogeography and Pollination Biology in the classroom, lab and field, parallel to my research interest and activities:

1) Systematic Botany & Molecular Phylogeny (BSc and MSc levels): cover the following subjects:

a) Studying the major groups of non-vascular and vascular plants with especial focus on Angiosperms; Identification of members of different plant families from major plant groups including Ferns, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms (e.g., Gramineae, Brassicaceae) using dichotomous keys (Flora Iranica, Rechinger, 1964, in Latin and Flora of Turkey, Davis, 1965, in English); Recognizing characters (qualitative and quantitative) and character status in members of some angiosperms families (e.g., Gramineae, Fabaceae, Brassicaceae), and preparing table of characters status, subsequently constructing the hierarchical clustering dendrogram, and discussing the relationship among members on the dendrogram.

b) Describing and discussing the phylogenetic concepts by giving examples including: phylogenetic trees (tree's branches, nodes, leaves and root); monophyletic and non-monophyletic (poly- and para-phyletic) groups, the fully resolved and unresolved (Polytomy) trees, rooted and unrooted trees, ingroup and outgroup, Consensus trees, the resampling method (e.g., Bootstrapping), Constructing phylogenetic trees (distance- and informative site-based methods), character evolution; Constructing the phylogenetic trees using homologous DNA sequences obtained from online websites such as NCBI using software such as MEGA.

2) Plant Ecology and Phytogeography:

a) Vegetation analysis: The following concepts and methods are delivered: sampling by relevé (quadrat) and transect, recording vegetation qualitative and qualitative data (species richness, abundance, cover) and environmental data (edaphic e.g., soil EC, pH; topographic e.g., attitude, slope, aspects) for each relevé; classification of plots based on the vegetation data using ordination analysis (e.g., Principal Coordinate Analysis) for recognition of Associations; Assessing relationship among vegetation data (species and relevé) and environmental factors using ordination methods (e.g., Canonical Corresponding Analysis) to infer causative relationship between them; Geographic Information Systems (QGIS): concepts such as vectors, layers, plugins are explained with examples; analyzing of vegetation of a given area is discussed using Satellite Imagery through calculating vegetation indices (e.g., Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), Creating vegetation map using DIVA-GIS, Clipping raster layer by mask layer e.g., bioclimatic variables; creating vegetation map.

b) Ecological phylogeny: Concepts and methods in ecological phylogeny are discussed including: species pool, local communities, forces shaping/driving the biological communities (interspecific competition, environmental filtering), phylogenetic clustering and overdispersion, phylogenetic diversity indices of communities, assessing relationship of these indices with environmental components, species abundance and species richness using R software.

c) Species Distribution Models (SDM): Downloading bioclimate variables (WorldClim) and species occurrence records (from GBIF), building SDM models, projecting the current and future species' distribution sites maps and range shifts under climate warming using bioclimatic/occurrence data, estimating the most effective bioclimate variables on species distribution, relative importance of bioclimate variables in distribution using R software.

3) Pollination Biology: The following principals, concepts and technical methods are discussed: Measuring pollen variability, pollinator and pollination's types failure; self-incompatibility (SI): definition and molecular mechanisms, its importance in agricultural & wild plants); apomixis: definition and molecular mechanisms, SI importance in agricultural & wild plant populations, importance of pollinators in reproductive success of wild and cultivated plant species concepts, generalist and specialist pollinators, pollinators/flowers typifications (insects/flowers types: allotropus/allophylous, hemitropous/hemiphylous, eutropus/euphylous), pollinators/flowers typification and conservation management, increasers/decreasers plant families based on pollination typification.

III) RESEARCH INTEREST & ACTIVITIES

My research activities and skills cover diverse areas including Systematic Botany & Floristics; Plant Molecular Phylogeny & Taxonomy; Populations' Genetics; Ecological Phylogeny; Species Distribution Modelling; Vegetation Analysis using both relevé sampling and Geographic Information Systems (QGIS):

1) Systematic Botany and Floristic Studies: monitoring the floristic composition and changes in area exposed to intensive anthropogenic activities (e.g., urbanization, industrialization, plant collecting, habitat fragmentation)

2) Plant Molecular Phylogeny: taxonomic revision of taxonomically complex and controversial taxa using DNA sequencing (i.e., ITS and matK) as DNA barcoding

3) Populations' genetic structure: assessing the populations' genetic variations of plant species using molecular markers e.g., ISSRs and the impact of life history traits and anthropogenic activities on the variations

4) Evolutionary biology (hybridization, polyploidy, apomixis): a) studying the formation and frequency of polyploid formation among natural diploid populations, and relationship between environmental stresses e.g., salinity and polyploid formation; studying the occurrence of interspecific hybridization among species with weak reproductive isolation; studying the occurrence of apomixis in plants

5) Impact of environmental stresses e.g., salinity on gene expression: Due to wide distribution of saline soil across our region, and wide cultivation of salinity-tolerant cultivars e.g., alfalfa and wildly distributed plant species e.g., Salsola in the region, I am studying genes responsible for salinity tolerant in these species

6) Vegetation analysis: I carry out vegetation studies through two methods: a) studying relationship between vegetation (e.g., species richness, abundance, coverage percent) and environmental factors (e.g., edaphic & topographic) using relevé sampling technique by ordination analyses; b) using satellite imagery in QGIS through calculating vegetation indices such as 'Vegetation Normalized Difference Index'

7) Ecological phylogeny: I study forces and processes shaping and driving biological communities from phylogenetic point of view by constructing the phylogenetic tree for the species pool and subsequently, by calculating communities’ phylogenetic diversity indices in R software to test the importance of interspecific competition and environmental filtering (phylogenetic clustering or overdispersion), and stochastic processes.

8) Species Distribution Models: I investigate the distribution range shifts of plant species at local (Azerbaijan regions) and larger scales (e.g., Middle East) in the present and future under climate change using occurrence records and bioclimatic variables through script of codes in R software. The occurrence records are either downloaded from Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) or recorded from local flora and field visit.
