Though biogeography may be simply defined--the study of the geographic distributions of
organisms--the subject itself is extraordinarily complex, involving a range of scientific …

Abstract Aim The Irano‐Turanian (IT) floristic region is characterized by high levels of
endemicity. Despite its potential role as a cradle of xerophytic taxa for neighbouring areas …

Aim To study the patterns of genetic variation and the historical events and processes that
influenced the distribution and intraspecific diversity in Hyla meridionalis Boettger, 1874 …

We used mitochondrial cyt b sequences to investigate the phylogenetic relationships of
Crocidura russula (sensu lato) populations across the Strait of Gibraltar, western Europe …

The phylogenetic relationship between Buthus occitanus populations across the Strait of
Gibraltar was investigated using nuclear 18S/ITS-1 DNA sequences and mitochondrial 16S …

Aim The presence of numerous reliable fossils and the occurrence of many endemic island
species make the Boraginales particularly suitable for integrative biogeographical studies. In …

Understanding the origin of island endemics is a central task of historical biogeography.
Recent methodological advances provide a rigorous framework to determine the relative …

We investigate the range-wide population structure and phylogeography of thuriferous
juniper (Juniperus thurifera L.), a species with a highly disjunct distribution in the western …

It has been hypothesized that species living in small lentic water bodies, because of the
short‐term geological persistence of their habitat, should show higher dispersal ability, with …

Phylogeographic studies are often focused on temperate European species with relict
footholds in the Mediterranean region. Past climatic oscillations usually induced range …
