Mediterranean-type ecosystems (MTEs) are located today in southwestern Australia, the
Cape Region of South Africa, the Mediterranean Basin, California, and central Chile. These …

Populations left behind during climate-driven range shifts can persist in enclaves of benign
environmental conditions within an inhospitable regional climate. Such climate relicts exist …

Macroclimate warming is often assumed to occur within forests despite the potential for tree
cover to modify microclimates. Here, using paired measurements, we compared the …

Phylogeography, born to bridge population genetics and phylogenetics in an explicit
geographic context, has provided a successful platform for unveiling species evolutionary …

We provide a critical review of the evidence for the long-term use of marine resources and
coastal environments in human evolution and later development. We emphasise the …

The location and timing of domestication of the olive tree, a key crop in Early Mediterranean
societies, remain hotly debated. Here, we unravel the history of wild olives (oleasters), and …

A palaeobotanical analysis of the Pleistocene floras and vegetation in the Iberian Peninsula
shows the existence of patched landscapes with Pinus woodlands, deciduous and mixed …

Laurus nobilis essential oils from Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco were analyzed for their
chemical composition and assessed for their repellent and toxic activities against two major …

Although the subfamily Nepetoideae (Lamiaceae) is considered to be monophyletic,
relationships between tribes, subtribes and genera within the subfamily are poorly …

Pollinators may generate selective pressures that affect covariation patterns of multiple traits
as well as the mean values of single floral morphological traits. Berg predicted that flowers …
