Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world
will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical …

Biodiversity is comprised of genetic and phenotypic variation among individual organisms,
which might belong to the same species or to different species. Spatial patterns of …

Abstract The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) aims at the conservation of all three
levels of biodiversity, that is, ecosystems, species and genes. Genetic diversity represents …

Species range shifts in response to climate and land use change are commonly forecasted
with species distribution models based on species occurrence or abundance data. Although …

Aim To evaluate the effect of post‐glacial migration lags on the current distribution of Alpine
plants and the factors responsible for possible range‐filling differences among species …

Quaternary climate fluctuations drove many species to shift their geographic ranges, in turn
shaping their genetic structures. Recently, it has been argued that adaptation may have …

Persian walnut (Juglans regia L) is an economically important species cultivated worldwide
for its wood and nuts. Despite the increasing interest in the development of conservation …

Quaternary climatic oscillations profoundly impacted temperate biodiversity. For many
diverse yet undersampled areas, however, the consequences of this impact are still poorly …

Aim Knowing a species' response to historical climate shifts helps understanding its
perspectives under global warming. We infer the hitherto unresolved postglacial history of …

Aim Species diversity in the region of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau has been extensively
explored, whereas the distribution of genetic diversity remains poorly understood in this …
