“…populations from the group of the eastward situated ones, which can be explained at least partly by existence of different glacial refugia. Multiple refugia were found for the same species in other studies [35,36] and the contemporary map of genepool distribution is complicated additionally by the existence of suture zones and introgressive hybridization [37]. Existing of multiple refugia is not unprecedented in this species, as reported also for Iberian Peninsula [38].…”

During the Ice Age the southern parts of Europe, including Balkans, remained practically unaffected by glaciations and served as refugia for many plant and animal species. However, even within the framework of each glacial refugia, the conditions were not homogeneous and isolated "hot spots" appeared that had led to "refugia within refugia". The territory of Balkan Peninsula could be subdivided into different zones, which are of different importance from the point of view of formation of the present day biodiversity. Tree species are particularly suitable for studies of inter-glacial and post-glacial migrations, due to their important ecological role in shaping the environmental conditions. Today, studying of these issues is greatly facilitated by introducing of genetic markers, allowing precise tracing of post-glacial migrations. The topic is less studied in the Balkan Peninsula, even though the region is considered one of the most important European refugia. A brief review of the more important studies in this respect is presented and the prospects and importance of such studies is discussed.

“…In general, the main characteristic of these stands is floristic heterogeneity and high richness of species, mainly as a consequence of the biogeographical position and floristic development of the western Dinarides (Bennett et al 1991;Petit et al 2003;Magri et al 2006;Liepelt et al 2009;Temunović et al 2013) -one of the floristically richest forest areas in Europe. The following species are particularly prominent: Fraxinus excelsior L., Ulmus glabra Huds., Fagus sylvatica L., Acer pseudoplatanus L., Lamium orvala L., Scopolia carniolica Jacq., Helleborus dumetorum Waldst.…”

“…A similar picture was shown in Abies alba Mill. [51] and Pinus mugo Turra [52]. Additionally, a single population from the Sudetes (BM), a mountain range located between the Alps and the Carpathians, appeared to be genetically distinct from the Carpathian populations (WC_1, WC_2, EC_1-EC_5) and exhibited relatively high genetic diversity (Tab.…”

Could clonality contribute to the northern survival of grey alder [Alnus incana (L.) Moench] during the Last Glacial Maximum?

Reconstruction of the glacial and postglacial history of a species, including lifehistory traits, provides valuable insights into the relationships between ecological and genetic factors shaping phylogeographic patterns. Clonality appears as a trait of high importance for survival in northern refugia. In the present study, the phylogeographic structure of 24 Alnus incana (grey alder) populations and clonal structure in seven populations were analyzed utilizing four microsatellites markers. Palaeobotanical data were collected and combined with the genetic results in order to support the possibility that this species survived in northern refugia. Our study indicated that: (i) Balkan populations are the most divergent, which likely reflects their long-term in-situ existence, (ii) Western Alpine populations are genetically different from other European populations, which corresponds with palaeobotanical data, suggesting that this region served as a refugium for this species, (iii) the macrofossil data indicate that the Scandinavian and northeastern Polish populations are likely derived from the refugia located in northern latitudes, (iv) Western and Eastern Carpathian populations form separate groups, which indicate that both regions could serve as refugia. Clonality was an important factor in allowing grey alder to survive in northern regions during the last glaciation. However, this mode of reproduction has also influenced the population genetic structure, as we noted rather low level of gene diversity, H E = 0.386 and low allelic variability, A = 3.8, in this species.
