Abstract:Mountain biota survived the Quaternary cold stages in peripheral refugia
and/or ice-free peaks within ice-sheets (nunataks). While survival in
peripheral refugia has been broadly demonstrated, evidence for nunatak
refugia is still scarce. We generated RADseq data from three mountain
plant species occurring at different elevations in the southeastern
European Alps to investigate the role of different glacial refugia
during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). We tested the following
hypotheses. (i) The deep Piave Va… Show more
