Ice coverage not only affects the climate and landscape of geographical regions but has
impacted species composition, the fragmentation and isolation of populations, and the …

The postglacial recolonization of Fennoscandian flora and fauna was initiated when the land
became accessible as the last ice sheet retreated. In northern Sweden, plants are …

Introduction Phenotypic complexity in species complexes and recently radiated lineages has
resulted in a diversity of forms that have historically been classified into separate taxa …

The history of repeated northern glacial cycling and southern climatic stability has long
dominated explanations for how genetic diversity is distributed within temperate species in …

We have revisited the mtDNA phylogeny of the bank vole Clethrionomys glareolus based on
Sanger and next-generation Illumina sequencing of 32 complete mitochondrial genomes …

Carnivores tend to exhibit a lack of (or less pronounced) genetic structure at continental
scales in both a geographic and temporal sense and this can confound the identification of …

Abstract During the Late Pleistocene, narrow-headed voles (Lasiopodomys gregalis)
inhabited Eurasia's vast territories, frequently becoming the dominant small mammal …

The Japanese archipelago is comprised of four main islands—Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku,
and Kyushu—which contain high mountainous areas that likely allowed for lineage …

The subgenus Aschizomys belongs to the genus Alticola (Central Asian mountain vole) and
consists of two species: Alticola macrotis and Alticola lemminus. Phylogenetic relationships …

Clinal variation is paramount for understanding the factors sha** genetic diversity in
