Climate change is predicted to become a major threat to biodiversity in the 21st century, but
accurate predictions and effective solutions have proved difficult to formulate. Alarming …

Regional phylogeographical studies involving co‐distributed animal and plant species have
been conducted for several areas, most notably for Europe and the Pacific Northwest of …

OCBIL theory aims to develop an integrated series of hypotheses explaining the evolution
and ecology of, and best conservation practices for, biota on very old, climatically buffered …

A goal of phylogeography is to relate patterns of genetic differentiation to potential historical
geographic isolating events. Quaternary glaciations, particularly the one culminating in the …

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

The vegetation of the northeast Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau is dominated by alpine meadow
and desert‐steppe with sparse forests scattered within it. To obtain a better understanding of …

There is controversy and uncertainty on how far north there were glacial refugia for
temperate species during the Pleistocene glaciations and in the extent of the contribution of …

We studied the genetic population structure and phylogeography of the montane caddisfly
Drusus discolor across its entire range in central and southern Europe. The species is …

Phylogeographic analysis has become a major tool for investigating historical aspects of
biogeography and population genetic structure. Anuran amphibians are particularly …

Species are impacted by climate change at both ecological and evolutionary time scales.
Studies in northern continents have provided abundant evidence of dramatic shifts in …
