The present study aimed to understand how Anatolian ground squirrels, Spermophilus
xanthoprymnus (Bennett, 1835), have responded to global climate changes through the Late …

Ecological niche models (ENMs) are crucial tools for anticipating range shifts driven by
climate change. As hypotheses of future biotic change, they can be difficult to test using …

The demographic history of Rhinolophus hipposideros (lesser horseshoe bat) was
reconstructed across its European, North African and Middle‐Eastern distribution prior to …

Background Climate is often considered as a key ecological factor limiting the capability of
expansion of most species and the extent of suitable habitats. In this contribution, we …

Different scales and frequencies of glaciations developed in Europe and Asia during the
Pleistocene. Because species' responses to climate change are influenced by interactive …

Dendrobium is a valuable traditional Chinese herb that contains active ingredients such as
polysaccharides and alkaloids that have anti-aging, antioxidant, and immunomodulating …

There is now considerable evidence for the survival of temperate species within glacial
refugia that were situated at relatively high latitudes, notably the Carpathian Basin and …

The wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus is an opportunistic rodent that is found throughout
most of the European mainland. It is present on many islands around the margins of the …

Classical glacial refugia such as the southern European peninsulas were important for
species survival during glacial periods and acted as sources of post-glacial colonisation …

Aim Studies investigating the theory of tropical refugia for vertebrates have previously
focused on a handful of species or a single taxonomic group. We sought to identify the …
