Summary: The European heather Calluna vulgaris is the most widespread woody species in European dry heathland. The study revealed the importance of the Strait of Gibraltar area as a major center of origin and glacial refugium for this species, with a secondary refugium in the north-western Iberian Peninsula.

Summary: This study examines the genetic structure of Tetraclinis articulata populations and identifies four lineages that are geographically intermixed to a certain extent. Evidence suggests an ancient widespread distribution, followed by the appearance of isolated lineages that are now partially intermixed.

Summary: The study found that despite the unequal climatic niches among the three Cerastium taxa, they share similarities in their overall phylogeographic structure, suggesting similar underlying processes and responses to historical events. It is anticipated that these taxa will respond differently to ongoing climate warming.

Summary: This study investigated the population genetic structure and distribution dynamics of Begonia grandis in China using chloroplast DNA markers and species distribution modeling. The results showed high genetic diversity, strong genetic differentiation, and significant phylogeographical structure in B. grandis. The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Three Gorges region, and Daba Mountains were identified as potential refugia for this species.

Summary: The artisanal octopus fishery is a traditional industry in Northern Spain that has a significant economic impact. This study investigates the genetic patterns of octopus populations using mitochondrial DNA analysis. The results reveal two main lineages with distinct distributions, and temporal changes in their distribution are linked to oceanographic conditions. These findings provide valuable information for understanding the uniqueness of the exploited population and the impact of exploitation on its long-term survival.

Summary: The red knot, Calidris canutus, derives from two main lineages that diverged around 34,000 years ago, potentially persisting in both Palearctic and Nearctic refugia during the last glacial maximum. Previously unknown genetic structure was found in Beringian subspecies, while weak genetic differentiation was observed between two Nearctic populations.

Summary: The steppe grasslands in eastern Central Europe are rich in species diversity, with habitat specialists influenced by climate, topography, and geographical distance to potential refugia. Chloroplast DNA analysis revealed geographical differentiation among species, indicating migration waves from multiple refugia. The importance of lower mountain ranges as long-term refugia for steppe species in Central Europe highlights the influence of dispersal limitation on species distribution.

Summary: Chloroplast genome diversity in cork oak is characterized by similarity with other Mediterranean oak species, suggesting introgression. Through sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, two distinct chloroplast haplogroups were identified in cork oak, possibly due to ancient introgression events or lineage sorting.

Summary: The high mountain ranges of Western Europe had a significant impact on the biotic recolonization of Europe, especially for the European common frog Rana temporaria. Northern and southern mitochondrial lineages of the frog colonized Switzerland via different routes and refugia in northern Italy, illustrating the complex recolonization history influenced by the semi-permeable barrier of the central European Alps.

Summary: The genomic structure of the rusty blackbird population showed patterns influenced by historical vicariance during the last glacial maximum and contemporary forces, restricting dispersal among populations and potentially limiting their ability to respond to rapid environmental changes.

Summary: This study investigates the genetic diversity and phylogeography of Diplazium caudatum in Macaronesia and Andalusia, providing insights into the species' origins and population dynamics. Results show that the species likely originated during the Tertiary period and experienced changes in mating systems and genetic variation over time, with Macaronesia serving as a refuge for genetic diversity.

Summary: The evolutionary histories of alpine species are closely related to their response to glaciation, with population structure influenced by drainage basins. Taking into account species' ecological preferences is crucial for understanding their response to climate fluctuations.
