Migration Patterns of Subgenus Alnus in Europe since the Last Glacial Maximum: A Systematic Review

According to fossil analysis alders survived during the LGM in southern peninsulas and northerly areas in western Europe, the foothills of the Alps, the Carpathians and northeastern Europe. After warming, subsequent colonization of the ice-free area was likely from several regional refugia when Scan...

Description
Summary:According to fossil analysis alders survived during the LGM in southern peninsulas and northerly areas in western Europe, the foothills of the Alps, the Carpathians and northeastern Europe. After warming, subsequent colonization of the ice-free area was likely from several regional refugia when Scandinavia was colonized from a single refugium in northeastern Europe.
