Caves as microrefugia: Pleistocene phylogeography of the troglophilic North American scorpion Pseudouroctonus reddelli.

BMC evolutionary biology - 16 Jan 2014

Bryson Robert W, Prendini Lorenzo, Savary Warren E, Pearman Peter B

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Survival in microrefugia represents an important paradigm in phylogeography for explaining rapid postglacial re-colonization by species in temperate regions. Microrefugia may allow populations to persist in areas where the climatic conditions on the surface have become unfavourable. Caves generally contain stable microclimates and may represent microrefugia for species capable of exploiting both cave...
