Biodiversity analyses can greatly benefit from coherent species delimitation schemes and up-
to-date distribution data. In this article, we have made the daring attempt to delimit and map …

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 …

Forests provide most of the carbon sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2);
however, accurately quantifying the uptake amount over a region remains challenging. For …

Background Mountains have not only provided refuge for species, but also offered dispersal
corridors during the Neogene and Quaternary global climate changes. Compared with a …

Reviews that summarize the genetic diversity of plant species in relation to their life history
and ecological traits show that forest trees have more genetic diversity at population and …

Abstract Background Pinus koraiensis Siebold & Zucc.(Korean pine) is a key species of the
mixed cold temperate forests of Northeast Asia. Current climate change can significantly …

Little is known about levels and patterns of genetic diversity for the entire range of
endangered orchids native to China, Korea, and Japan. In this study, we focus on …

The Baekdudaegan (BDDG; Figure 1) is a mountain range relatively unknown outside
Korea. From recent times, however, the BDDG is known outside Korea because it shelters …

Jeju Island is located at a marginal edge of the distributional range of East Asian evergreen
broad-leaved forests. The low genetic diversity of such edge populations is predicted to …

The tapeworm species Spirometra erinaceieuropaei was documented mainly in Asia and
Europe. In recent years, plerocercoid larvae (spargana) of this parasite have been found in …
