ABSTRACT 1 Glacial refugia were core areas for the survival of temperate species during
unfavourable environmental conditions and were the sources of postglacial recolonizations …

The legacy of climatic changes during the Pleistocene glaciations allows inferences to be
made about the patterns and processes associated with range expansion/colonization …

considered to have been refugia for many European species of plants and animals during …

In a distribution‐wide phylogeographic survey of the field vole (Microtus agrestis), 75
specimens from 56 localities across Eurasia were examined for DNA sequence variation …

There is controversy and uncertainty on how far north there were glacial refugia for
