Approximately 20 years ago, Avise and colleagues proposed the integration of
phylogenetics and population genetics for investigating the connection between micro-and …

No species occurs everywhere. Indeed, the majority are absent from most places, and where
they do occur they are usually quite rare. Gaston discusses the structure of these …

A 19 cal ka BP pollen and charcoal record from Lake Shaman (44° S; 71° W, Chile) was
analyzed to establish vegetation, fire and climate dynamics of the forest-steppe ecotone in …

Subgenus Nothofagus, although geographically restricted at present to temperate areas of
South America, has captured much attention in discussions of plant biogeography due to its …

Two 17,000-yr-old peat bog records from low-elevation sites in Tierra del Fuego (Harberton,
