Recently, the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique has gained a lot of
popularity, and is now frequently applied to a wide variety of organisms. Technical …

Abstract The Balkan Peninsula is widely acknowledged as one of the centers of European
biodiversity and a major glacial refugium for plant species. Its extensive geographic …

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 …

We provide the first comparative multispecies analysis of spatial genetic structure and
diversity in the circumpolar Arctic using a common strategy for sampling and genetic …

Species of the Trichophyton benhamiae complex are predominantly zoophilic pathogens
with a worldwide distribution. These pathogens have recently become important due to their …

Molecular phylogeographic studies have recently begun to elucidate how plant species from
the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and adjacent regions responded to the Quaternary …

Here, we investigated the origin and genetic diversity of four alpine plant species co‐
occurring in the Spanish Sierra Nevada and other high mountains in south‐western Europe …

Abstract Aim We investigated Quaternary range dynamics of two closely related but
ecologically divergent species (cold‐tolerant Edraianthus serpyllifolius and thermophilic …

Biogeographers claimed for more than a century that arctic plants survived glaciations in ice‐
free refugia within the limits of the North European ice sheets. Molecular studies have …

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