Phylogeography, born to bridge population genetics and phylogenetics in an explicit
geographic context, has provided a successful platform for unveiling species evolutionary …

The S Iberian Peninsula and NW Africa constitute one of the main hotspots for plant
biodiversity within the Mediterranean Basin. At the core of this hotspot, across the Strait of …

Long‐term basal area increment (BAI) in Abies pinsapo was studied to investigate the way
density‐dependent factors modulate the responses of radial growth to climatic stresses in …

Abstract Aim The genus Abies exemplifies plant diversification related to long‐term climatic,
geological and evolutionary changes. Today, the Mediterranean firs comprise nine species …

Abstract Background and Aims Understanding the evolutionary and ecological forces
contributing to the emergence of biodiversity hotspots is of outstanding importance to …

The forests in the Iberian Peninsula have been strongly influenced by past climatic changes,
but reconstructing their historical distributions and dynamics is very difficult due to the …

Abstract The Strait of Gibraltar (SG) is reputed for being both a bridge and a geographic
barrier to biological exchanges between Europe and Africa. Major genetic breaks …

The diversification and distribution of Abies species throughout the Mediterranean region
has led to a complex of species which are difficult to classify. An open question is whether …

Abstract Background and Aims Inferring the evolutionary relationships of species and their
boundaries is critical in order to understand patterns of diversification and their historical …

Increasing variability and uncertainty regarding future climate provide new challenges for
the conservation of endangered tree species. For example, threat status can be impacted by …
