Climate refugia, locations where taxa survive periods of regionally adverse climate, are
thought to be critical for maintaining biodiversity through the glacial–interglacial climate …

This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building,
evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of …

The spatiotemporal response of species to past global change must be understood for
adaptive management and to make useful predictions. Characteristics of past population …

Local adaptation is a central feature of most species occupying spatially heterogeneous
environments, and may factor critically in responses to environmental change. However …

ABSTRACT Quaternary (last 2.6 million years) botany involves studying plant megafossils
(eg tree stumps), macrofossils (eg seeds, leaves), and microfossils (eg pollen, spores) …

While hybridization has recently received a resurgence of attention from systematists and
evolutionary biologists, there remains a dearth of case studies on ancient, diversified hybrid …

Climate-driven range fluctuations during the Pleistocene have continuously reshaped
species distribution leading to populations of contrasting genetic diversity. Contemporary …

Assessing the relative importance of the various pathways to diversification is a central goal
of biodiversity researchers. For plant biologists, and increasingly across the spectrum of …

The MIGCLIM R package is a function library for the open source R software that enables
the implementation of species‐specific dispersal constraints into projections of species …

Targeted conservation and management programs are crucial for mitigating anthropogenic
