DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1042
Abstract: PREMISE OF THE STUDY The unique geography of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, USA has promoted a flora with exceptional endemism that may face high rates of extinction due to climate change. The Olympic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5037
Abstract: Abstract Temperate mountain ranges such as the European Alps have been strongly affected by the Pleistocene glaciations. Glacial advances forced biota into refugia, which were situated either at the periphery of mountain ranges or in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5078
Abstract: Abstract Refugia are critical for the maintenance of biodiversity during the periods of Quaternary climatic oscillations. The long‐term persistence of refugial populations in a large continuous refugium has resulted in a homogenous pattern of genetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8752
Abstract: Abstract Macroevolutionary patterns, often inferred from metrics of community relatedness, are often used to ascertain major evolutionary processes shaping communities. These patterns have been shown to be informative of biogeographic barriers, of habitat suitability and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10980-018-0705-1
Abstract: ContextHabitats characterized by improved soil moisture availability can function as microrefugia (hereafter referred to as “refugia”) for the persistence of rare plant species in dry environments. Such areas are dominated by Mediterranean woody vegetation (shrubland… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2019.07.013
Abstract: Abstract Climate change presents a substantial threat to species unable to keep pace via migration or adaptation. In-situ climate refugia, areas currently occupied by a species and that remain suitable in the future, will be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcac126
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Understanding how genetic diversity is distributed and maintained within species is a central tenet of evolutionary and conservation biology, yet is understudied in arid regions of the globe. In temperate, glaciated environments,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcw248
Abstract: Background Centres of endemism have received much attention from evolutionists, biogeographers, ecologists and conservationists. Climatic stability is often cited as a major reason for the occurrences of these geographic concentrations of species which are not… read more here.
