The main Korean mountain range [the so-called “Baekdudaegan”(BDDG)] is thought to have
served as a glacial refugium, mainly for the boreal and temperate flora of northeastern Asia …

Low levels of genetic diversity in endemic species are generally attributable to the small size
of their populations. This lack of genetic variability will, predictably, be more evident in those …

The area encompassing Southern China and North Vietnam is highlighted by very high
levels of biodiversity but also exceptional threats. Guangxi Province was selected as one of …

Genetic diversity defines the evolutionary potential of a species, yet mounting evidence
suggests that epigenetic diversity could also contribute to adaptation. Elucidating the …

Anticipating the evolutionary responses of species to ongoing climate change is essential to
propose effective management and conservation measures. The Western Mediterranean …

Protection and management of closely related endangered species and subspecies at a
very narrow regional scale is the origin of multiple dysfunctional conservation decisions …

As the mountains in temperate regions have been hypothesized as refugia for boreal and
temperate plants during the Last Glacial Maximum, one would expect high within-population …

Silene ciliata Pourr.(Caryophyllaceae) is a species with a highly disjunct distribution which
inhabits the alpine mountains of the Mediterranean Basin. We investigated the phylogeny …

To provide basic information for orchid conservation, we surveyed the plant allozyme
literature to summarize genetic diversity and structure data for (i) rare orchids native to the …

Background: Glandora oleifolia is one of the most narrowly restricted endemics of the Iberian
Peninsula. It occurs in two locations, separated by 5 km in the south-eastern Pyrenees. The …
