| recent range-wide demographic expansion in a taiwan endemic montane bird, steere's liocichla (liocichla steerii). | the subtropical island of taiwan is an area of high endemism and a complex topographic environment. phylogeographic studies indicate that vicariance caused by taiwan's mountains has subdivided many taxa into genetic phylogroups. we used mitochondrial dna sequences and nuclear microsatellites to test whether the evolutionary history of an endemic montane bird, steere's liocichla (liocichla steerii), fit the general vicariant paradigm for a montane organism. | 2010 | 20219124 |
