Spatiotemporal Diversification of Forest Understorey Species Reveals the Existence of Multiple Pleistocene Forest Refugia in Central Europe. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT During Pleistocene cold stages, European temperate forests were not only restricted to refugia in the southern European peninsulas. Rather, there is increasing evidence for the survival of trees also in isolated patches further north, termed ‘northern refugia’.
