Is there genetic differentiation in the Pyrenean population of Tengmalm's owl Aegolius Funereus?
Several boreal taxa can be found in southern latitudes in fragments of high altitude alpine habitat. Some of these taxa have remained isolated from the main populations in northern latitudes as a result of the distribution changes during the last glaciations, being known as glacial relict population...
