Deep reefs are climatic refugia for genetic diversity of marine forests
Abstract Aim Past climate‐driven range shifts shaped intraspecific diversities of species world‐wide. Earlier studies, focused on glacial refugia, might have overlooked genetic erosion at lower latitudes associated with warmer periods. For marine species able to colonize deeper waters, depth shifts...

Abstract Aim Past climate‐driven range shifts shaped intraspecific diversities of species world‐wide.
