Abstract The genus Thalpomena Saussure comprises nine species and four subspecies and
is largely endemic to the Atlas Mountains (North Africa). Here, we used an evolutionary …

Neogene orogenesis and climatic cycles strongly influenced inter-and intraspecific
differentiation and variability of taxa. In this study, we focused on the southern margin of the …

Endosymbionts and intracellular parasites are common in arthropod hosts. As a
consequence,(co) amplification of untargeted bacterial sequences has been occasionally …

Background Snow scorpionflies (genus Boreus) belong to a family of Mecoptera, Boreidae,
that has been vastly neglected by entomological researchers due to their shift in seasonality …

Recent phylogeographical studies have revealed that refugia sometimes retain high levels
of genetic heterogeneity due to multiple colonization events, a phenomenon defined as …

Recent studies have found that geographical fragmentation and recurrent colonization result
in complex genetic structures in refugial areas. This phenomenon, known as 'refugia within …

Oceanic islands have long been considered engines of differentiation and speciation for
terrestrial organisms. Here we investigated colonisation and radiation processes in the …

The geographical distributions of species associated with European temperate broadleaf
forests have been significantly influenced by glacial–interglacial cycles. During glacial …

Endosymbionts and intracellular parasites are common in arthropods and other invertebrate
hosts. As a consequence,(co) amplification of untargeted bacterial sequences has been …

Intracellular parasites, endosymbionts that are specialised to live in host cells, have evolved
independently in many different lineages. Endosymbionts can be transmitted vertically and …
