Testing a relict distributional pattern of fen plant and terrestrial snail species at the Holocene scale: a null model approach (2011, background): “…are most often applied to populations of some tree species surviving in small pockets with a favourable mesoclimate during the full-glacial period (Birks & Willis, 2008; Svenning et al., 2008; Médail & Diadema, 2009) and to populations of alpine plants surviving locally on nunataks in otherwise…”
Vegetation of Eurasia from the last glacial maximum to present: Key biogeographic patterns (2017, background): “Small (possibly refugial) populations of various tree species may also be virtually undetectable in the pollen record (Stewart and Lister, 2001; Birks and Willis, 2008).”
Evolutionary history and underlying adaptation of alpine plants on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (2014, background): “Another aspect of such studies should extend to species with reverse responses (Birks & Willis, 2008).”
Multiple Dimensions of Climate Change and Their Implications for Biodiversity (2014, background): “Alpine trees (61) and other cold-adapted species of birds and butterflies (8), and small mammals like the mountain beaver and the western pocket gopher (62), for example, became confined to small and isolated pockets of cool conditions as the end of the last glacial period broughtwarmer temperatures”
On metapopulations and microrefugia: palaeoecological insights (2011, background): “This growing body of evidence supports the long-held minority view that diffuse populations have been important in the recolonization of European forests (Beug, 1975; reviewed in Birks & Willis, 2008).”
Extended phylogeny of Aquilegia: the biogeographical and ecological patterns of two simultaneous but contrasting radiations (2010, background): “Thus, it is pos- ested through the Holocene, providing open habitats for the sible that the absence of hummingbirds in Eurasia could persistence of alpine species after the Last Glacial Maxi have constrained the floral evolution to a hawkmoth pol- mum (Birks and Willis 2008).”
Conservation Paleobiology: Leveraging Knowledge of the Past to Inform Conservation and Restoration (2015, background): “…different from any that exist today, that is, novel or no-analog assemblages ( Jackson & Williams 2004), as well as by changes in species ranges (Birks & Willis 2008), population size (Blois & Hadly 2009), genetic diversity (from ancient DNA; Hadly & Barnosky 2009), and morphology (Bruzgul et…”
A climatic basis for microrefugia: the influence of terrain on climate (2011, background): “It is hypothesized that these refugial habitats occurred in favorable microclimates during periods of unfavorable regional climate and allowed for postglacial colonization via local dispersal (McLachlan et al., 2005; Pearson, 2006; Birks & Willis, 2008; Provan & Bennet, 2008).”
Habitats of relict terrestrial snails in southern Siberia: lessons for the reconstruction of palaeoenvironments of full‐glacial Europe (2010, background): “Indeed, Fennoscandia lacks many species of the central European full glacial, such as Swiss pine (Pinus cembra) and European larch (Larix decidua) (Willis et al., 2000; Willis & van Andel, 2004), the rodents Allactaga major, Cricetulus migratorius, Lagurus lagurus and Microtus gregalis (Horáček & ”
