Spatial patterns of genetic diversity across European subspecies of the mountain hare, Lepus timidus L.

Heredity - 1 Nov 2006

Hamill R M, Doyle D, Duke E J

Abstract excerpt

Fossil evidence shows that populations of species that currently inhabit arctic and boreal regions were not isolated in refugia during glacial periods, but instead maintained populations across large areas of central Europe. These species commonly display little reduction in genetic diversity in northern areas of their range, in contrast to many temperate species. The mountain hare currently inhabits both...
