An increasing number of phylogeographic studies have been conducted for plant species in
the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and its flanking mountains. However, these studies have …

The effects of rapid, recent uplift of the Hengduan Mountains on evolution and diversification
of young floristic lineages still remain unclear. Here, we investigate diversification of three …

Premise Saxifraga sinomontana (Saxifragaceae) is a widespread alpine species in the
Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau and its flanking mountains. We developed a set of expressed …

Abstract Subsect. Hirculoideae Engl. & Irmsch., belonging to Saxifraga sect. Ciliatae Haw.,
has high species richness. It can be divided into S. diversifolia, S. pseudohirculus, and S …

The Himalaya–Hengduan Mountains region (HHM) in the southern and southeastern
Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is considered an important reservoir and a differentiation …

Most phylogeographic studies on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau and in adjacent regions have
focused on tree or shrub species, or on herbaceous species that mainly inhabit alpine …

The phylogeography of Sibiraea angustata, an endemic shrub species, was studied in the
Qinghai–Tibet plateau (QTP). We investigated 466 individuals of S. angustata from 39 …

Phenotypic polymorphism within a species is a notable phenomenon in evolutionary biology
to understand the process of adaptive speciation and other historical events. The Saxifraga …

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

Abstract The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) has been considered as one of the most sensitive
regions to climate change on Earth, and the growth and distribution of alpine species on this …
