Cenozoic tectonic evolution in the Tethyan region has greatly changed the landforms and
environment of Eurasia, driving the evolution of animals and greatly affecting the diversity …

Abstract Continental East Asia has a mild Pleistocene climate and a complex recent
geological history. Phylogeographic studies of animals over the last 30 years have produced …

Global warming is increasingly exacerbating biodiversity loss. Populations locally adapted
to spatially heterogeneous environments may respond differentially to climate change, but …

Transferability is key to many of the most novel and interesting applications of ecological
niche models, such that maximizing predictive power of model transfers is crucial. Here, we …

Abstract The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is well known for being of great importance in the
evolution of montane species due to its unique geological history and landform …

Parallel evolution can be expected among closely related taxa exposed to similar selective
pressures. However, parallelism is typically stronger at the phenotypic level, while genetic …

Abstract China's Southwest Mountainous Region in Eastern Himalaya is a 'biodiversity
hotspot'of global interest for conservation. Yet little is known about what has driven this …

Aim Zoogeographical regionalizations have recently seen a revived interest, which has
provided new insights into biogeographical patterns. However, few quantitative studies have …

Abstract South China and Indochina host striking species diversity and endemism. Complex
tectonic and climatic evolutions appear to be the main drivers of the biogeographic patterns …

Examining how historical and contemporary geographic and environmental factors
contribute to genetic divergence at different evolutionary scales is a central yet largely …
