Patterns of endemism and comparative phylogeography confirm palaeo‐environmental evidence for Pleistocene refugia in the Eastern Alps
Abstract Climatic fluctuations during Quaternary glaciations had a significant influence on the distribution of taxa and on their intraspecific genetic structure. In this paper, we test hypotheses on Pleistocene refugia for mountain plants in the eastern part of the European Alps derived from palaeo...
