Geography determines genetic relationships between species of mountain pine (Pinus mugo complex) in western Europe (2010, background): “The Pleistocene climate oscillations affected the distribution of genetic variation within plant species in complex ways (Petit et al., 2003; Tribsch & Stuessy, 2003).”
Refugia within refugia: the case study of a canopy tree (Eurycorymbus cavaleriei) in subtropical China (2009, background): “Petit et al. (2003) found that population differentiation in the chloroplast genome was strongly influenced by the mode of seed dispersal.”
Comparative organization of chloroplast, mitochondrial and nuclear diversity in plant populations. (2005, result): “The same result was found on the basis of a smaller data set analysed by Petit et al. (2003) and Aguinagalde et al. (2005).”
Colonization routes of Pinus sylvestris inferred from distribution of mitochondrial DNA variation (2008, background): “The extensive study of Petit et al. (2003) on the postglacial history of 25 European trees and shrubs clarified the history of European forests.”
Phylogeographic patterns of steppe species in Eastern Central Europe: a review and the implications for conservation (2016, background): “These reviews conclude that species adapted to temperate conditions have reacted to glaciations following a general phylogeographic paradigm, where species’ range contracts during Pleistocene glaciations into southern refugia located basically in the area of the Mediterranean peninsulas, and subsequ”
Refugia within refugia – patterns in endemism and genetic divergence are linked to Late Quaternary climate stability in the Iberian Peninsula (2014, background): “These areas of high divergence would reflect areas where previously allopatric lineages now meet, i.e. contact or suture zones (Hewitt, 2001; Petit et al., 2003).”
Quantifying phenological plasticity to temperature in two temperate tree species (2010, background): “During the postglacial period, species populations responded to global warming by migrating toward higher latitudes or altitudes, resulting in local extinctions and modifications in species distributions (Davis & Shaw 2001; Petit et al. 2003).”
Garden plants get a head start on climate change (2008, background): “In many cases, northward plant migrations during the Holocene also had important genetic consequences, such as reduced genetic variability in northern populations due to serial bottlenecks, or increased genetic variability in regions where populations from isolated refugia subsequently became mixed ”
Identifying refugia from climate change (2010, background): “The importance of refugia is increasingly being recognized (Noss, 2001; Petit et al., 2003; Bennett & Provan, 2008).”
Conserving biodiversity under climate change: the rear edge matters. (2005, background): “As a consequence, marginal rather than central populations commonly harbour the bulk of species genetic diversity (e.g. Petit et al. 2003; Hewitt 2004).”
1,135 Genomes Reveal the Global Pattern of Polymorphism in Arabidopsis thaliana (2016, background): “There is a gradient of decreasing diversity from south to north (Figure 6C), as expected after a range expansion from southern glacial refugia (Petit et al., 2003).”
Quaternary history of the European roe deer Capreolus capreolus (2009, background): “…in accordance with the high genetic diversity in eastern roe deer, which was interpreted by Randi et al. (2004) as possible evidence of a recolonization of central and northern Europe from an eastern refuge, and would match the extension of broad-leaf forests from the east (Petit et al., 2003).”
Past tree range dynamics in the Iberian Peninsula inferred through phylogeography and palaeodistribution modelling: A review (2010, background): “Phylogeographical studies have described historical population and geographical range dynamics of numerous tree taxa growing in temperate and Mediterranean Europe (Petit et al., 2002a, 2003, 2005).”
