Phylogeographic insights into cryptic glacial refugia
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2008The glacial episodes of the Quaternary (2.6 million years ago-present) were a major factor in shaping the present-day distributions of extant flora and fauna, with expansions and contractions of the ice sheets rendering large areas uninhabitable for most species. Fossil records suggest that many species survived glacial maxima by retreating to refugia,

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2008
This book is a testament as to just how much fun science can be. It is a true ‘boy's own’ adventure – full of thrills, chills, bad guys, terrible setbacks and eureka-moment discoveries. Colinvaux, however, does not just take the reader on a roller-coaster ride through his illustrious and exciting life in science but also shows how science works, using ...

Nothofagus cunninghamii (Hook.) Oerst. is the dominant component of most cool temperate rainforest in southeastern Australia. N. cunninghamii has a long history in the region and has endured through a period of great climatic changes, including the glacial-interglacial cycles.

Quaternary Refugia and Persistence of Biodiversity
Science, 2002In order to preserve biodiversity, we need to understand the mechanisms that sustain it. In their perspective, Taberlet and Cheddadi describe work (Tzedakiset al.) that illustrates the importance of southern refugia for the persistence of some temperate tree species during the last glacial-interglacial cycles.

Remote Forest Refugia for Fijian Wildlife
Conservation Biology, 2006Abstract: On Pacific islands non‐native rats and mongooses threaten many native species. In Fiji we compared visitation rates of rats and mongooses at bait stations and measured biomass of leaf‐litter invertebrates to assess the relative predation pressure from these species in forest areas at different ...

Quaternary Science Reviews, 2008
The term ‘refugia’ was originally used to describe the restricted full-glacial locations of modern mid- and high-latitude taxa, especially trees and shrubs. We discuss the extension of this original use to other situations, including its widening to encompass ‘interglacial refugia’.

Refugia: The Survival of Urban Transspecies Communities encourages to us recognize the unexpected relations among species and to speculate about the possibility of their existence and development. It shows the need for care and support for multi-species urban communities by answering questions about the following: Which humans and non-humans may find ...

Refugia within Refugia: Patterns of Phylogeographic Concordance in the Iberian Peninsula
2007The Iberian Peninsula was one of the most important Pleistocene glacial refugia in Europe. A number of recent studies have documented the phylogeography of Iberian taxa and their relationship to more widely distributed species that expanded from this southern European refugium.

Riparian Refugia in Agroforestry Systems
Journal of Forestry, 1997In the last 200 years, cultivation, grazing, and other activities initiated by humans have destroyed more than 80 percent of the strips of vegetation along North American and European streams and other bodies of water (Decamps and Naiman 1989; Petts et al. 1989).

Rain forest refugia in Liberia
1996Inside Liberia, the lowland area is the most complete refugium for large Caesalpinioid tree species. The Nimba region constituted a partial refugium. A hypothesized partial refugium was also confirmed in southwest Ghana. Semi-deciduous forest was present outside these evergreen rain forest refugia.
