On microrefugia and cryptic refugia [PDF]
AbstractThe existence of microrefugia and/or cryptic refugia has been proposed to explain the colonization patterns of temperate continents after the Last Glacial Maximum, as well as to gain an understanding of the present genetic structure of species and their populations.

AbstractThe concept of microrefugia is widely accepted to explain the post‐glacial colonization of continents, which led to the present‐day biotic configuration of the Earth. However, so far, microrefugia are no more than a ‘theoretical necessity’ without an appropriate biogeographical and ecological characterization. Here, a tentative definition and a

Andean microrefugia: testing the Holocene to predict the Anthropocene [PDF]
Summary Microrefugia are important for supporting populations during periods of unfavourable climate change and in facilitating rapid migration as conditions ameliorate. With ongoing anthropogenic climate change, microrefugia could have an important conservation value; however, a simple tool has not been developed and tested to predict which settings

Cold spot microrefugia hold the key to survival for Brazil's Critically Endangered Araucaria tree [PDF]
AbstractBrazil's Araucaria tree (Araucaria angustifolia) is an iconic living fossil and a defining element of the Atlantic Forest global biodiversity hotspot. But despite more than two millennia as a cultural icon in southern Brazil, Araucaria is on the brink of extinction, having lost 97% of its extent to 20th‐century logging.
