Evolutionary origin of species diversity on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau
Abstract The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) sensu lato ( sl ) houses an exceptional species diversity in Asia. To develop a comprehensive understanding of species diversity in this fascinating region, we reviewed recent progress from biogeographic, paleogeographic, paleontological and genomic research...
