| unravelling the evolutionary history and future prospects of endemic species restricted to former glacial refugia. | the contemporary distribution and genetic composition of biodiversity bear a signature of species' evolutionary histories and the effects of past climatic oscillations. for many european species, the mediterranean peninsulas of iberia, italy and the balkans acted as glacial refugia and the source of range recolonization, and as a result, they contain disproportionately high levels of diversity. as these areas are particularly threatened by future climate change, it is important to understand how ... | 2015 | 26346923 |
