Habitats of relict terrestrial snails in southern Siberia: lessons for the reconstruction of palaeoenvironments of full‐glacial Europe (2010, background): “…van Andel, 2004), the rodents Allactaga major, Cricetulus migratorius, Lagurus lagurus and Microtus gregalis (Horáček & Ložek, 1988; Pazonyi, 2004; Sommer & Nadachowski, 2006) and some species of land snails that are regarded as index (i.e. indicator) fossils of full-glacial loess sediments in…”
Glacial refugia of temperate trees in Europe: insights from species distribution modelling (2008, background): “…diffuse occurrence of trees during the LGM is furthermore consistent with the occurrence of nonanalogue mammal assemblages in much of southern Central and Eastern Europe during the LGM, with forest species cooccurring with tundra and steppe species at many localities (Sommer & Nadachowski 2006).”
Species persistence in northerly glacial refugia of Europe: a matter of chance or biogeographical traits? (2008, background): “…1997; Neumann et al., 2005), Clethrionomys glareolus (Nadachowski, 1989; Deffontaine et al., 2005; Kotlik et al., 2006), Dicrostonyx torquatus (Stewart & Lister, 2001), Martes martes (Davison et al., 2001; Sommer & Nadachowski, 2006) and Microtus oeconomus (Chaline, 1987; Brunhoff et al., 2003).”
Phylogeography of western Palaearctic reptiles - Spatial and temporal speciation patterns $ (2007, background): “U. Joger et al. / Zoologischer Anzeiger 246 (2007) 293–313308 arvalis: Babik et al. 2004; Capreolus capreolus, Cervus elaphus, Sus scrofa, Vulpes vulpes: Sommer and Nadachowski 2006; Microtus agrestis: Jaarola and Searle 2002).”
Ice age distributions of European small mammals: insights from species distribution modelling (2009, background): “Journal compilation ª 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd from 23 to 16 ka showed that cold-tolerant temperate (i.e. boreal, in the sense of this study) mammals, such as red fox, wild boar and red deer, were present in southern France and widespread in eastern Europe (Sommer & Nadachowski, 2006).”
Phylogeographic patterns of steppe species in Eastern Central Europe: a review and the implications for conservation (2016, background): “Astragalus exscapus) were distributed more widely during glacial periods than during interglacials (Pawłowska 1966; Becker 2012; Sommer and Nadachowski 2006).”
Phylogeography of red deer (Cervus elaphus) in Europe (2009, background): “These are known refugial regions for many species (Taberlet et al., 1998; Hewitt, 2004) and coincide well with the fossil record of red deer (Sommer & Nadachowski, 2006).”
What do we mean by 'refugia'? (2008, background): “Sommer and Nadachowski, 2006; Bhagwat and Willis, 2008; Provan and Bennett, 2008), the reverse phenomenon, or ‘interglacial refugia’, has been relatively ignored.”
Refugia revisited: individualistic responses of species in space and time (2010, background): “Further evidence in support of the hypothesis has come from the study of fossil pollen, plant macros including wood charcoal, and mammals (Birks 2003; Willis & van Andel 2004; Sommer & Nadachowski 2006; Caseldine et al. 2008).”
Phylogeographic insights into cryptic glacial refugia. (2008, background): “land, often on south-facing slopes, is supported by the fossil record and palynological studies [30, 31 ].”
Quaternary history of the European roe deer Capreolus capreolus (2009, background): “Recent studies have also shown that several temperate species must have occurred in southern central Europe during cold stages of the last glacial cycle that were located in areas of sheltered topography providing a suitable microclimate (Sommer & Nadachowski, 2006).”
Genetic diversity and landscape genetic structure of otter (Lutra lutra) populations in Europe (2010, background): “All the other 473 known otter sub-fossil remains were collected only in Holocene deposits (Sommer and Benecke 2004; Sommer and Nadachowski 2006).”
Direct evidence of central European forest refugia during the last glacial period based on mollusc fossils (2014, background): “, 2006; Jankovská and Pokorný, 2008), snails (Ložek, 2006) and mammals (e.g., Horáček, 2006; Sommer and Nadachowski, 2006; Sommer and Zachos, 2009), there is still great work remaining for paleontologists to complete the mosaic of our knowledge on glacial/interglacial species ranges shifts.”
Extinction chronology of the cave lion Panthera spelaea (2011, background): “Based on associated dates collated by Sommer and Nadachowski (2006), a range of extant mammalian taxa vacated north-west and central Europe during the LGM but may have survived further to the south and east.”
Fossil evidence and phylogeography of temperate species: ‘glacial refugia’ and post‐glacial recolonization (2009, background): “…of a bias in available data, the importance of refugia in eastern Europe and/or Asia may have been underestimated (Taberlet et al., 1998; see also Sommer & Nadachowski, 2006, and Provan & Bennett, 2008, for discussion on the Carpathian region as a glacial refugium, and Hewitt, 1996, 1999, for…”
Late-Quaternary biogeographic scenarios for the brown bear (Ursus arctos), a wild mammal model species (2011, background): “…clear that relatively benign conditions existed north of the classical peninsula refuge areas during the LGM, and that a number of tree and mammal species were present in parts of central Europe during the LGM (Stewart and Lister, 2001; Willis and van Andel, 2004; Sommer and Nadachowski, 2006).”
