Ancient climate changes and Andes uplift, rather than Last Glacial Maximum, affected distribution and genetic diversity patterns of the southernmost mycoheterotrophic plant Arachnitis uniflora Phil. (Corsiaceae)

Mauricio Renny et al.

Summary: Arachnitis uniflora is a mycoheterotrophic plant native to South America, with a wide distribution that allows for the exploration of evolutionary processes. Through phylogeographic approaches, it was found to have split into two genetic groups during the Late Miocene, with diversification occurring in the early Pleistocene.

Phylogeny and evolutionary history of the Sombre Tit, Poecile lugubris in the western Palearctic (Ayes, Paridae)

Somayeh Pourebrahimi et al.

Summary: This study explored morphological and genetic variation within the Sombre Tit, supporting the species status of the Caspian Tit with a separation from Sombre Tit exceeding 4.5 million years ago. Phylogenetic analyses revealed three distinct clades within Sombre Tit, while morphometric analyses confirmed this pattern. Microsatellite results discriminated Iranian subspecies as discrete clusters with signs of nuclear admixture between different subspecies.

Anthropocene refugia in Patagonia: A macrogenetic approach to safeguarding the biodiversity of flowering plants

Matias C. Baranzelli et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impacts of current land use and future climate change on the genetic diversity and species richness of native plants in the Patagonian steppe. The results showed that human-driven changes mainly threaten plant biodiversity in northern Patagonia, and areas with high genetic diversity and species richness are mostly outside the protected refugia areas. Therefore, the study suggests prioritizing the conservation of areas with high genetic diversity and species richness and implementing monitoring and mitigation policies in high-risk areas.

Past vegetation reconstruction maps and paleoclimatic variability inferred by pollen records in southern Patagonia Argentina since the Late Glacial-Holocene transition

Marcos R. Echeverria et al.

Summary: This study presents a compilation of paleoecological studies from southern Patagonia Argentina to better understand the composition and distribution of Andean and extra-Andean plant communities. Paleoenvironmental reconstructions are based on pollen sequences and the current relationship between pollen, vegetation, and climate. The integration of these models allows for the reconstruction of vegetation patterns and past climatic changes. The study also found evidence of human impact on vegetation communities in the past centuries.

Insights into Aotearoa New Zealand's biogeographic history provided by the study of natural hybrid zones

Lara Shepherd et al.

Summary: This paper reviews the research on hybrid zones and zones of past introgression in New Zealand. Many of New Zealand's hybrid zones occur between lineages or species that diverged prior to the Last Glacial Maximum. Few secondary contact zones have been detected in terrestrial plants and in marine taxa.

Plant phylogeography of the Balkan Peninsula: spatiotemporal patterns and processes

Stanislav Spaniel et al.

Summary: The Balkan Peninsula is recognized as an important center of biodiversity and a refuge for plant species. This paper reviews the current knowledge on plant phylogeography in the region, exploring patterns of genetic diversity and the role of refugia. The study highlights the importance of Pleistocene climatic fluctuations and identifies evolutionary mechanisms such as speciation, polyploidy, and hybridization shaping species diversity in the Balkans.

Reconstructing Cenozoic Patagonian biotas using multi-proxy fossil records

Luis Palazzesi et al.

Summary: The research revised selected fossil records from the last 66 million years in order to understand the early evolution of the Patagonian ecosystems. It shows that the changes in terrestrial and marine biotas in the region were closely related to global climate change, ultimately leading to the formation of the modern Patagonian Steppe.

Overgrazing causes a reduction in the vegetation cover and seed bank of Patagonian grasslands

Sofia Laura Gonzalez et al.

Summary: The study revealed that degraded grasslands have lower vegetation cover and seed bank size, with perennial grasses being replaced by shrubs. The only perennial grass seeds found in both grasslands were Pappostipa speciosa, and there was a high similarity in species composition in the seed banks of the two grasslands. Weather conditions were found to have a significant impact on the vegetation and seed bank of the degraded grassland.

Germination response to water availability in populations of Festuca pallescens along a Patagonian rainfall gradient based on hydrotime model parameters

Aldana S. Lopez et al.

Summary: The research found significant differences in hydrotime model parameters among different populations of Festuca pallescens, indicating physiological adaptation to local environments. Populations at the extremes of the distribution gradient showed higher hydrotime parameter values, suggesting germination may be hindered or delayed under suboptimal conditions for the species.
