recommendations! Published in 2018 at "American journal of botany"

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: 10.1002/ecs2.70296

Abstract: Pine savannas of the southeastern United States evolved with frequent low‐intensity wildfires. Today, land managers use prescribed fires to restore this ecological process while also controlling vegetative fuel accumulation. Given the ubiquitous application of this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.70373

Abstract: Climate change is predicted to have widespread effects on the distribution of many species and ecosystems, including old‐growth forests. Because of the slow development time of old‐growth forests, it is especially important for their management… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10661-025-14784-y

Abstract: The identification of climate change refugia is fundamental for climate-smart conservation planning, especially in highly altered landscapes, such as temperate grasslands. Our study aimed to identify breeding refugia for three focal grassland birds: Baird’s sparrow… 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: 10.1038/s42003-025-08419-8

Abstract: Climate change has the scope to significantly modulate the distribution of floral and faunal taxa, with those regions persistently suitable to a population through the largest environmental perturbations termed “refugia”. Within Africa, focus has been… 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.
