Ice sheets promote speciation in boreal birds.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Sept 2004

Weir Jason T, Schluter Dolph

Abstract excerpt

The premise that Pleistocene ice ages played an important role in generating present-day species diversity has been challenged by genetic data indicating that most of the youngest terrestrial species on Earth coalesced long before major glacial advances. However, study has been biased towards faunas distributed at low latitudes that were not directly fragmented by advancing ice sheets. Using mitochondrial...
