Aim Carex atrofusca has an arctic–alpine distribution in the Northern Hemisphere, with only
a few, disjunct localities known in the European Alps. These alpine populations are …

Paradoxically, several of the ecologically most important plant groups in the Arctic are little
understood in terms of taxonomy and biogeographic history. The circumpolar Carex …

Aim Based on extensive range‐wide sampling, we address the phylogeographical history of
one of the most widespread and taxonomically complex sedges in Europe, Carex nigra s …

The phylogeographical structure amongst 39 populations of the temperate forest plant Carex
pilosa in Europe was studied using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) …

Cerastium arcticum is an autogamous pioneer species with a distribution limited to the North
Atlantic region. It has been suggested that such species must have survived in ice‐free …

Iberian gypsum outcrops are highly fragmented and ecologically challenging environments
for plant colonization. As gypsophytes occur exclusively in such habitats, they are ideal …

• Premise of the study: Genetic and chromosomal variations in plants are often reflected in
the geographical distribution patterns. Therefore, identifying such phylogeographical …

Abstract The Balkan Peninsula is a hotspot of European biodiversity, harbouring many
endemic species. Cerastium decalvans is a heteroploid species endemic to mountainous …

Abstract Aim The Balkan Peninsula has served as source for the colonisation of large parts
of Europe after the Pleistocene, but the processes driving the intraspecific diversification …

Aim The bipolar disjunction, a biogeographical pattern defined by taxa with a distribution at
very high latitudes in both hemispheres (> 55° N;> 52° S), is only known to occur in about 30 …
