Global climate changes during the Quaternary reveal much about broader evolutionary
effects of environmental change. Detailed regional studies reveal how evolutionary lineages …

Despite many studies illustrating the perils of utilising mitochondrial DNA in phylogenetic
studies, it remains one of the most widely used genetic markers for this purpose. Over the …

Despite their paramount importance in molecular ecology and conservation, genetic
diversity and structure remain challenging to quantify with traditional genotyping methods …

Integrative taxonomy aims to document biodiversity by incorporating all useful characters to
increase confidence in hypotheses about phylogenetic relationships. In this study, we …

How multitrophic relationships between wildlife communities and their ectoparasitic vectors
interact to shape the diversity of vector-borne microorganisms is poorly understood. Nested …

Present-day species distribution and patterns of genetic diversity in Europe are a result of
post-glacial re-colonization from glacial refugia after the Last Glacial Maximum. This process …

Abstract The Mediterranean Basin is typified by a high degree of species rarity and
endemicity that reflects its position, geomorphology, and history. Although the composition …

Phylogeographic analysis brings organism phylogeny, regional geological/climatic history,
and population demography together, and provides insights into species history and …

Aim A common pattern in biogeography is the scale‐dependent effect of environmental
variables on the spatial distribution of species. We tested the role of climatic and land cover …

We used an integrative approach combining cranio-dental characters, mitochondrial and
nuclear data and acoustic data to show the presence in the genus Miniopterus of a cryptic …
