The status, changes, and disturbances in geomorphological regimes can be regarded as
controlling and regulating factors for biodiversity. Therefore, monitoring geomorphology at …

Mountains are highly diverse in areal extent, geological and climatic context, ecosystems
and human activity. As such, mountain environments worldwide are particularly sensitive to …

Recent plant genomic studies provide fine-grained details on the evolutionary
consequences of adaptive introgression during crop domestication. Modern genomic …

Endemic organisms of ancient lakes have been studied as models to understand processes
of speciation and adaptive radiation. However, it remains unclear how ancient lakes play …

Abstract Aim The Irano‐Anatolian biodiversity hotspot is among the least‐known biodiversity
hotspots on earth. In this study, we aim to map the richness and genetic divergence of …

Past climatic and topographic variations have created strong biogeographic barriers for
alpine species and are key drivers of the distribution of genetic variation and population …

Intra-specific genetic diversity is a fundamental component of biodiversity, and is key to
species adaptation and persistence. However, significant knowledge gaps still exist in our …

Understanding the ecology of populations located in the rear edge of their distribution is key
to assessing the response of the species to changing environmental conditions. Here, we …

Plant mating systems may reflect an adaptation to a habitat type, with self-pollination being
potentially common in unstable and disturbed conditions. We investigated the reproductive …

Quaternary climate fluctuations and complex mountain systems had a prominent impact on
the genetic diversification and speciation of montane organisms. However, the genetic …
