Glacial cycles have played a dominant role in shaping the genetic structure and distribution
of biota in northwestern North America. The two major ice age refugia of Beringia and the …

Regional phylogeographical studies involving co‐distributed animal and plant species have
been conducted for several areas, most notably for Europe and the Pacific Northwest of …

The glacial episodes of the Quaternary (2.6 million years ago–present) were a major factor
in shaping the present-day distributions of extant flora and fauna, with expansions and …

A goal of phylogeography is to relate patterns of genetic differentiation to potential historical
geographic isolating events. Quaternary glaciations, particularly the one culminating in the …

Cryptic northern refugia beyond the ice limit of the Pleistocene glaciations may have had
significant influence on the current pattern of biodiversity in Arctic regions. In order to …

The contemporary distribution of biological diversity cannot be understood without
knowledge of how organisms responded to the geological and climatic history of Earth. In …

Previous phylogeographical and palaeontological studies on the biota of northern North
America have revealed a complex scenario of glacial survival in multiple refugia and …

The Canadian side of the Pacific Northwest was almost entirely covered by ice during the
last glacial maximum, which has induced vicariance and genetic population structure for …

Current concerns over the impact that anthropogenic global climate change will have on
levels of biodiversity have focused mainly on tropical and temperate systems. Recently …

The glacial refugium hypothesis (GRH) proposes that glaciers promoted differentiation and
generation of intraspecific diversity by isolating populations in ice‐free refugia. We tested …
