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

There are two long‐standing biogeographic hypotheses regarding the glacial survival of
plant species in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP): the in situ survival hypothesis and the …

Climate oscillations and landscape heterogeneity make the historical population processes
of organisms of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau quite complex. We used chloroplast DNA …

Abstract The Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is thought to be more strongly affected by the
Quaternary glaciations than most other regions of the same latitude. It would be of great …

We studied the phylogeography of Rhodiola alsia (Fröderström) SH Fu, which is a perennial
herbaceous plant endemic to the Qinghai–Tibet (Q–T) Plateau, by sequencing one …

The genetic structure and phylogeographical history of the alpine shrubs Sibiraea angustata
(Rosaceae) and Sibiraea laevigata from the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) were …

Quaternary climatic oscillations have had tremendous effects on current distribution of
species. Previous studies unraveled multiple microrefugia on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau …

Abstract Background and Aims Many plant taxa in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and
the Hengduan Mountains (HM) radiated rapidly during the Quaternary but with frequent …

While most temperate plants probably underwent glacial constriction to refugia and
interglacial expansion, another type of interglacial refugia might have existed to maintain …

Background: Most empirical studies to date have suggested that alpine plants in the central
Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) originated from the south-eastern QTP. However, previous …
