Genetic diversity provides the basic substrate for evolution, yet few studies assess the
impacts of global climate change (GCC) on intraspecific genetic variation. In this review, we …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are numerical tools that combine observations of
species occurrence or abundance with environmental estimates. They are used to gain …

Aim The aims of this study were to assess the distribution of putative Mediterranean refugia
of plants, to compare the locations of refugia and those of regional hotspots of plant …

The glacial episodes of the Quaternary (2.6 million years ago–present) were a major factor
in sha** the present-day distributions of extant flora and fauna, with expansions and …

Approximately 20 years ago, Avise and colleagues proposed the integration of
phylogenetics and population genetics for investigating the connection between micro-and …

Abstract The eastern-central South American open vegetation biomes occur across an
extensive range of environmental conditions and are organized diagonally including three …

Glacial cycles have played a dominant role in sha** the genetic structure and distribution
of biota in northwestern North America. The two major ice age refugia of Beringia and the …

The integration of phylogenetics, phylogeography and palaeoenvironmental studies is
providing major insights into the historical forces that have shaped the Earth's biomes. Yet …

Predicting past distributions of species climatic niches, hindcasting, by using climate
envelope models (CEMs) is emerging as an exciting research area. CEMs are used to …

The increased availability of spatial data and methodological developments in species
distribution modelling has lead to concurrent advances in phylogeography, broadening the …
