Speciation of a subterranean amphipod on the glacier margins in South Eastern Alps, Europe
Abstract Aim Climatic oscillations altered distributions through migration, extinction, adaptation or speciation. Their joint effect has been rarely studied. Here, we tested how Pleistocene climatic oscillations shaped the evolutionary history and distribution of a subterranean amphipod. We tested f...
