Biogeographical and evolutionary importance of the European high mountain systems
T Schmitt - Frontiers in zoology, 2009 - Springer
Europe is characterised by several high mountain systems dominating major parts of its
area, and these structures have strongly influenced the evolution of taxa. For species now …

Genetic consequences of climate change for northern plants
Climate change will lead to loss of range for many species, and thus to loss of genetic
diversity crucial for their long-term persistence. We analysed range-wide genetic diversity …

Broad‐scale adaptive genetic variation in alpine plants is driven by temperature and precipitation
Identifying adaptive genetic variation is a challenging task, in particular in non‐model
species for which genomic information is still limited or absent. Here, we studied distribution …

Forecasting changes in population genetic structure of alpine plants in response to global warming
Species range shifts in response to climate and land use change are commonly forecasted
with species distribution models based on species occurrence or abundance data. Although …

History or ecology? Substrate type as a major driver of patial genetic structure in Alpine plants
Climatic history and ecology are considered the most important factors moulding the spatial
pattern of genetic diversity. With the advent of molecular markers, species' historical fates …

Long-distance plant dispersal to North Atlantic islands: colonization routes and founder effect
Long-distance dispersal (LDD) processes influence the founder effect on islands. We use
