Inferring historical survivals of climate relicts: the effects of climate changes, geography, and population-specific factors on herbaceous hydrangeas.

Abstract excerpt

Climate relicts hold considerable importance because they have resulted from numerous historical changes. However, there are major interspecific variations among the ways by which they survived climate changes. Therefore, investigating the factors and timing that affected population demographics can expand our understanding of how climate relicts responded to historical environmental changes. Here, we examined...
