Phylogeography of Southern European Refugia Evolutionary perspectives on the origins and conservation of European biodiversity

Phylogeography of Southern European Refugia Evolutionary perspectives on the origins and conservation of European biodiversity / edited by Steven Weiss, Nuno Ferrand.

Phylogeography of Southern European Refugia provides the first synthesis of the remarkable diversity, evolutionary complexity, and conservation importance of the flora and fauna in the Mediterranean region, with emphasis on the three major peninsular refugia. The book frames a number of case studies...
