The well‐known vicariance and dispersal models dominate in understanding the allopatric
pattern for related species and presume the simultaneous occurrence of speciation and …

Various hypotheses have been proposed about the Quaternary evolutionary history of plant
species on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP), yet only a handful of studies have considered …

Abstract Background In East Asia, an increasing number of studies on temperate forest tree
species find evidence for migration and gene exchange across the East China Sea (ECS) …

To explore the evolutionary consequences of climate-induced fluctuations in presently
fragmented temperate forest habitats in continental East Asia we investigated the …

Background Current and historical events have both affected the current distribution patterns
and intraspecific divergence of plants. While numerous studies have focused on the Qinghai …

Geological and climatic changes in the Quaternary of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (Q‐T
Plateau) strongly affect the migration route and distribution pattern of the plants in this …

This study investigates the influence of climate-induced oscillations and complicated
geological conditions on the evolutionary processes responsible for species formation in …

Background Mountains have not only provided refuge for species, but also offered dispersal
corridors during the Neogene and Quaternary global climate changes. Compared with a …

Plateau uprisings and climatic oscillations are considered to have caused extensive
allopatric divergences that account for the rich species diversity of the Qinghai-Tibetan …

East Asia harbors the highest level of floristic diversity among the world's temperate regions.
Despite the increase in phylogeographic studies of temperate plants in East Asia, far less …
