Climate refugia, locations where taxa survive periods of regionally adverse climate, are
thought to be critical for maintaining biodiversity through the glacial–interglacial climate …

The Sino-Japanese Floristic Region (SJFR) of East Asia harbors the most diverse of the
world's temperate flora, and was the most important glacial refuge for its Tertiary …

Approximately 20 years ago, Avise and colleagues proposed the integration of
phylogenetics and population genetics for investigating the connection between micro-and …

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 …

Glacial cycles have played a dominant role in sha** the genetic structure and distribution
of biota in northwestern North America. The two major ice age refugia of Beringia and the …

A key challenge in ecological research is to integrate data from different scales to evaluate
the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that influence current patterns of biological …

DNA data has been widely used in animal phylogenetic studies over the past 15 years. Here
we review how these studies have used advances in knowledge of molecular evolutionary …

The older history of hybrid zones is explored through consideration of recent advances in
climatology, paleontology and phylogeography in the Late Cenozoic, particularly the …

For three decades, comparative phylogeography has conceptually and methodologically
relied on the concordance criterion for providing insights into the historical/biogeographic …

The term 'refugia'was originally used to describe the restricted full-glacial locations of
modern mid-and high-latitude taxa, especially trees and shrubs. We discuss the extension of …
