The origins and development of the study of speciation, hybrid zones and phylogeography
are outlined using evolutionary iconography. This traces the ideas in this field from Lamarck …

The climatic cycles with subsequent glacial and intergalcial periods have had a great impact
on the distribution and evolution of species. Using genetic analytical tools considerably …

Phylogeography is a discipline concerned with various relationships between gene
genealogies—phylogenetics—and geography. The word “phylogeography” was coined in …

Protecting biological diversity with limited resources may require placing conservation
priorities on different taxa. A system of priorities that reflects the value of taxonomic diversity …

The genetic effects of pleistocene ice ages are approached by deduction from
paleoenvironmental information, by induction from the genetic structure of populations and …

Population structure is the result of both present processes and past history. Molecular
markers are proving of great value in describing the former, and it is important to similarly …

The Quaternary cold periods in Europe are thought to have heavily influenced the amount
and distribution of intraspecific genetic variation in both animals and plants. The …

Abstract The Iberian Peninsula was one of the most important Pleistocene glacial refugia in
Europe. A number of recent studies have documented the phylogeography of Iberian taxa …

Patterns of variation in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) increasingly are being investigated in
threatened or managed species, but not always with clearly defined goals for conservation …

Понимание того, что биологическое разнообразие является составной частью и
основным условием сбалансированного развития человечества, привело к широкому …
