The genetic legacy of the Quaternary ice ages.

Nature - 22 Jun 2000

Hewitt G

Abstract excerpt

Global climate has fluctuated greatly during the past three million years, leading to the recent major ice ages. An inescapable consequence for most living organisms is great changes in their distribution, which are expressed differently in boreal, temperate and tropical zones. Such range changes can be expected to have genetic consequences, and the advent of DNA technology provides most suitable markers to...
