Phylogeography and population genetics of key steppe species: Artemisia frigida Willd. (Anthemideae, Asteraceae) [PDF]
The present thesis elucidates facts about a prominent steppe plant’s evolutionary history (i.e., geographic origin, migration route, distribution of genealogical lineages and polyploidization events) and contemporary population divergence (i.e., genetic ...

In defence of the entity of Macaronesia as a biogeographical region
ABSTRACT Since its coinage ca. 1850 AD by Philip Barker Webb, the biogeographical region of Macaronesia, consisting of the North Atlantic volcanic archipelagos of the Azores, Madeira with the tiny Selvagens, the Canaries and Cabo Verde, and for some authors different continental coastal strips, has been under dispute. Herein, after a brief introduction
