Populations left behind during climate-driven range shifts can persist in enclaves of benign
environmental conditions within an inhospitable regional climate. Such climate relicts exist …

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 …

The Caucasus region is key for understanding early human dispersal and evolution in
Eurasia, and characterizing the environmental contrast between Last Glacial Maximum and …

Oligocene to Pleistocene floras of Greece are reviewed based on published and
unpublished material. Oldest plant-bearing sediments of Rupelian–Chattian age are …

Species distribution models can help predicting range shifts under climate change. The aim
of this study is to investigate the late Quaternary distribution of Oriental beech (Fagus …

Spatial and temporal constraints on dispersal explain the absence of species from areas
with potentially suitable conditions. Previous studies have shown that post-glacial …

This study performs a meta-analysis of existing studies of European riparian forests to
investigate which exotic species have successfully established in intact riparian forests and …

We studied the phylogeography of alder buckthorn (Frangula alnus), a bird‐dispersed shrub
or small tree distributed over most of Europe and West Asia and present in three of the four …

Aim The post‐glacial range dynamics of many European plant species have been widely
investigated, but information rapidly diminishes as one moves further back in time. Here we …

Abstract North and South Anatolia areas are today refuge areas for plants that were
previously widespread in the European and Mediterranean regions. Thirteen well-dated …
