Species distribution modeling (SDM: statistical and/or mechanistic approaches to the
assessment of range determinants and prediction of species occurrence) offers new …

During the Last Glacial Maximum, European red deer Cervus elaphus occurred in refugia in
Iberia/southern France, Italy, the Balkans and the Carpathians. Most of Europe, including …

The Mediterranean peninsulas contain much genetic and species diversity, which
decreases toward higher latitudes in Europe. In considering how such diversity evolved …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineages are recognized as important components of intra-and
interspecific biodiversity, and allow to reveal colonization routes and phylogeographic …

Despite the vast literature on genetic variation in the domestic pig Sus scrofa, little is known
about genetic differentiation in wild boar populations. Here we present an up-to-date review …

The present phylogeographic pattern of red deer in Eurasia is not only a result of the
contraction of their distribution range into glacial refugia and postglacial expansion, but …

Global climate changes during the Quaternary reveal much about broader evolutionary
effects of environmental change. Detailed regional studies reveal how evolutionary lineages …

Red deer is one of the most abundant cervid species occurring in most of Europe. It has an
increasing economic, cultural and ecological importance. Therefore red deer research …

Genome‐wide technologies open up new possibilities to clarify questions on genetic
structure and phylogeographic history of taxa previously studied with microsatellite loci and …

The Pleistocene was an epoch of extreme climatic and environmental changes. How
individual species responded to the repeated cycles of warm and cold stages is a major …
