Past climatic oscillations, such as the glacial-interglacial cycles of the Pleistocene (Williams et al. 1998) led to severe worldwide altitudinal and latitudinal range shifts of taxa and ecosystems (Hewitt 2004). For a reconstruction of the glacial and postglacial history of species, data obtained f...
