Abstract excerpt
Arctic-alpine species are highly sensitive to long-term temperature changes and associated glacial cycles due to their occurrence in cold environments to which they are adapted and spatially restricted. Unravelling their evolutionary responses to past climatic fluctuations can provide new insights into their diversification. In this study, we investigated the evolutionary history of the Silene acaulis species...
