Mitochondrial phylogeography and population history of pine martens Martes martes compared with polecats Mustela putorius
Abstract The flora and fauna of Europe are linked by a common biogeographic history, most recently the Pleistocene glaciations that restricted the range of most species to southern refugial populations. Changes in population size and migration, as well as selection, have all left a signature on the...
