Aim Allopatric speciation is the primary mode of diversification in the Mediterranean Basin.
However, the contribution of climatic adaptation during this process is contradictory. In this …

Climatic changes can affect species distributions, population abundance, and evolution.
Such organismal responses could be determined by the amount and quality of available …

BACKGROUND Intense studies have been carried out on the effects of climate change on
vector‐borne diseases and vectors. Culex pipiens pallens and Culex pipiens …

A deteriorating environment causes species' range contraction and places species on a
trajectory toward rarity and ultimately extinction. Contraction hypotheses focus on the …

Numerous works have related phylogeographical patterns of north African Mediterranean
biota to Pleistocene climatic oscillations. The application of complementary paleoclimate …

Studying phylogeographic histories in wide-ranging species provides key insights into those
processes sha** current species' distributions and genetic structuring. In this work, we …

North Africa is a climatically and topographically complex region with unique biotic
assemblages resulting from the combination of multiple biogeographic realms. Here, we …

Aim Reconstructing species' glacial refugial history and demographic changes over time has
greatly relied on comparing inferences from multiple methods while not sufficiently …

In temperate regions of the Earth Pleistocene, climatic fluctuations significantly influenced
distribution of species. However, little is known on how glacial and interglacial cycles …
