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,

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Carabid beetle distribution and powers of dispersal have provided strong facts in favor of the assumption that isolated refugia for the survival of biota existed during one or more of the Pleistocene glacial periods.

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.

Problems of post-Glacial refugia
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences, 1965Abstract As the result of investigations into the coleopteran remains contained within organic deposits which were laid down after the maximum of the last glaciation I have tentatively reviewed the late- and post-Glacial faunal history of the British Isles (Pearson 1963).
