Climate change in the past has led to significant changes in species' distributions. However,
how individual species respond to climate change depends largely on their adaptations and …

The Sino-Japanese Floristic Region (SJFR) of East Asia harbors the most diverse of the
world's temperate flora, and was the most important glacial refuge for its Tertiary …

No‐analog communities (communities that are compositionally unlike any found today)
occurred frequently in the past and will develop in the greenhouse world of the future. The …

Glacial refuge areas are expected to harbor a large fraction of the intraspecific biodiversity of
the temperate biota. To test this hypothesis, we studied chloroplast DNA variation in 22 …

Here, palaeobotanical and genetic data for common beech (Fagus sylvatica) in Europe are
used to evaluate the genetic consequences of long‐term survival in refuge areas and …

Viewed from a geological perspective, present-day animal and plant communities in many
