Hybridization has long been recognized as a fundamental evolutionary process in plants
but, until recently, our understanding of its phylogenetic distribution and biological …

Evolutionary responses are required for tree populations to be able to track climate change.
Results of 250 years of common garden experiments show that most forest trees have …

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 …

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 …

Since the first edition of this book published in 2005, there has been an immense amount of
new and fascinating work on the history, ecology, and evolution of the Mediterranean flora …

Here, we examine the evidence for tree refugia in northern Europe during the Late
Pleniglacial (LPG) interval of maximum tree-range contraction. Our review highlights the …

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 …

Abstract The Iberian Peninsula was one of the most important Pleistocene glacial refugia in
Europe. A number of recent studies have documented the phylogeography of Iberian taxa …

Native plant species are routinely planted or sown in ecological restoration projects, but
successful establishment and survival depend on where and how seeds are collected …

A high-resolution pollen record from western Greece shows that the amplitude of millennial-
scale oscillations in tree abundance during the last glacial period was subdued, with …
