| the major australian cool temperate rainforest tree nothofagus cunninghamii withstood pleistocene glacial aridity within multiple regions: evidence from the chloroplast. | glacial aridity of the pleistocene was inhospitable for the cool temperate rainforest tree nothofagus cunninghamii over most of its current range in southeastern australia, particularly in eastern tasmania. a chloroplast dna phylogeographic study was undertaken to investigate whether this species was likely to have survived in situ or conforms to a dispersal model of postglacial recovery. twenty-three chloroplast haplotypes were identified by pcr-rflp and direct sequencing of 2164 base pairs fro ... | 2009 | 19210718 |
