Abstract: | Background Pleistocene glacial oscillations have significantly affected the historical population dynamics of temperate taxa. However,
the general effects of recent climatic changes on the evolutionary history and genetic structure of extant subtropical species
remain poorly understood. In the present study, phylogeographic and historical demographic analyses based on mitochondrial
and nuclear DNA sequences were used. The aim was to investigate whether Pleistocene climatic cycles, paleo-drainages or mountain
vicariance of Taiwan shaped the evolutionary diversification of a subtropical gossamer-wing damselfly, Euphaea formosa. |
