Past tree range dynamics in the Iberian Peninsula inferred through phylogeography and palaeodistribution modelling: A review (2010, background): “The species appears to have its origins in the eastern Mediterranean and genetic surveys have documented a continuous westward decline of population genetic diversity, which is thought to result from the species' colonisation history (e.g. Fady-Welterlen, 2005; Grivet et al., 2009).”
Late Neogene history of the laurel tree (Laurus L., Lauraceae) based on phylogeographical analyses of Mediterranean and Macaronesian populations (2009, unknown): “Such an east–west vicariance across the Mediterranean region has been described for several other plant (e.g. Lumaret et al., 2002, 2005; Hampe et al., 2003; Fady-Welterlen, 2005; Besnard et al., 2007) and animal taxa”
