Abstract The numerous Mediterranean islands (> 10,000) are very important from a
biodiversity point of view, both in term of plant species (numerous endemics, presence of …

The vascular flora of Sardinia has been investigated for more than 250 years, with particular
attention to the endemic component due to their phylogeographic and conservation interest …

Rare and vulnerable narrow endemic species represent distinct evolutionary units emerging
from various temporal processes, and the preservation of such species is a key issue in …

The high diversification rates of plant lineages in the Mediterranean Basin hotspot have
been linked to a complex interaction of climatic stressors, geographic isolation and soil type …

Abstract Changes in epigenetic states can allow individuals to cope with environmental
changes. If such changes are heritable, this may lead to epigenetic adaptation. Thus, it is …

With about 11,100 islands and islets of which ca. 250 are regularly inhabited by human, the
Mediterranean Sea represents one of the regions of the world with the most islands and …

A review of 27 angiosperm clades (26 genera) of species‐rich and species‐poor plant
groups of the Mediterranean floristic region was performed with phylogenetic and biological …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are the primary tools used to model and predict
changes to species' ranges, and are often used to provide a quantitative baseline for …

Aim The evolutionary history of narrow endemic species has received little attention
compared with that of more widely distributed species. Small effective population sizes and …
