Tugarinovia (Family Asteraceae) is a monotypic genus. It's sole species, Tugarinovia
mongolica Iljin, is distributed in the northern part of Inner Mongolia, with one additional …

Determining the factors promoting speciation is a major task in ecological and evolutionary
research and can be aided by phylogeographic analysis. The Qinling–Daba Mountains …

Natural selection serves as an important agent to drive and maintain interspecific
divergence. Populus rotundifolia Griff. is an alpine aspen species that mainly occurs in the …

The varying topography and environment that resulted from paleoorogeny and climate
fluctuations of the Himalaya–Hengduan Mountains (HHM) areas had a considerable impact …

To adapt to high-altitude habitats, many alpine plants develop self-compatible breeding
systems from outcrossing. The genetic bases for this shift and the resulting demographic …

Climate change plays an important role in the transition of ecosystems. Stratigraphic
investigations have suggested that the Asian interior experienced frequent transitions …

Abstract Background and Aims The phylogeography of plant species in sub-tropical China
remains largely unclear. This study used Tapiscia sinensis, an endemic and endangered …

Tertiary relicts often show evolutionary stasis in morphology and ecology and have been
hypothesized to retain stable population sizes in refugia. However, recent studies have …

Understanding species distribution, genetic diversification and evolutionary history is
extremely important for mountainous regions with a high diversity of endemic species, which …

Understanding the role of climate changes and geography as drivers of population
divergence and speciation is a long‐standing goal of evolutionary biology and can inform …
