Extending glacial refugia for a European tree: genetic markers show that Iberian populations of white elm are native relicts and not introductions.

Abstract excerpt

Conservation policies usually focus on in situ protection of native populations, a priority that requires accurate assessment of population status. Distinction between native and introduced status can be particularly difficult (and at the same time, is most important) for species whose natural habitat has become both rare and highly fragmented.
