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

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) …

The phylogeography of common and widespread species can help us to understand the
history of local flora and vegetation. Here, we study the semi‐evergreen shrub …

The Sino-Japanese Floristic Region (SJFR) of East Asia harbors the most diverse of the
world's temperate flora, and was the most important glacial refuge for its Tertiary …

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

The genus Croomia (Stemonaceae) comprises three herbaceous perennial species that are
distributed in temperate-deciduous forests in Southeastern North America (C. pauciflora) …

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 …

Aim Fossil‐based biome reconstructions predict that during the Last Glacial Maximum
(LGM), the subtropical zone of East Asia was reduced to a narrow southern belt. In contrast …

Despite the absence of major Quaternary glaciations in arid Northwest China, significant
climatic oscillations definitely impacted the evolution of the biota in situ. Phylogeography has …

Molecular phylogeographic studies have recently begun to elucidate how plant species from
the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and adjacent regions responded to the Quaternary …
