Cryptic no more: soil macrofossils uncover Pleistocene forest microrefugia within a periglacial desert [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2014 SummaryDespite their critical importance for understanding the local effects of global climate change on biodiversity, glacial microrefugia are not well studied because they are difficult to detect by using classical palaeoecological or population genetics approaches. We used soil macrofossil charcoal analysis to uncover the presence of cryptic glacial

A climatic basis for microrefugia: the influence of terrain on climate
Global Change Biology, 2011Abstract There is compelling evidence from glacial and interglacial periods of the Quaternary of the utilization of microrefugia. Microrefugia are sites that support locally favorable climates amidst unfavorable regional climates, which allow populations of species to persist outside of their main distributions.

Cool microrefugia accumulate and conserve biodiversity under climate change
Global Change Biology, 2022Abstract A major challenge in climate change biology is to explain why the impacts of climate change vary around the globe. Microclimates could explain some of this variation, but climate change biologists often overlook microclimates because they are difficult to map. Here, we map microclimates in a freshwater rock pool ecosystem and

The ecological and evolutionary implications of microrefugia
Journal of Biogeography, 2013AbstractPleistocene microrefugia (or cryptic refugia) may be distinguished from macrorefugia (or conventional refugia) on the basis of two characteristics. First, microrefugia were smaller than macrorefugia and consequently supported smaller refugial populations. Second, microrefugia harboured less diverse biotic communities than macrorefugia.

Microrefugia - limiting factors and unique synergy of environment
2020<p>Peatlands are a very important ecosystem which are characterized by distinctive vegetation, hydrology, and local climate. In the last decades, much effort was made a better understanding of microrefugia and their importance. Nevertheless, we still have little knowledge about the histories of the refugia.

Central American climate and microrefugia: A view from the last interglacial
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2019The Last Interglacial (c. 128,000 to 115,000 years ago) was the last time when global temperatures may have been higher than those of the Holocene, but little is known about vegetation change or paleoclimate during that period in Central America. A new fossil pollen record from the lowland setting of El Valle, Panama, spanned the period from 137,000 to

Survival in northern microrefugia in an endemic Carpathian gammarid (Crustacea: Amphipoda)
Zoologica Scripta, 2018Gammarus leopoliensis(Crustacea: Amphipoda) is considered a north‐eastern Carpathian endemic species and therefore can be regarded as an appropriate model for testing the hypothesis of Quaternary glacial survival in northern microrefugia. However, 250 km south, the south‐western Carpathians harbour populations that resemble phenotypically bothG ...
