This study, using species distribution modeling (involving a new approach that allows for
uncertainty), predicts the distribution of climatically suitable areas prevailing during the mid …

Dating the subsidence history of the North Atlantic Land Bridge (NALB) is crucial for
understanding intercontinental disjunctions of northern temperate trees. Traditionally, the …
