Title: Surviving on Changing Climate - Phylogeography and Conservation of Relict Species

by Springer

Aim

Modelorganisms: Species existing as isolated relict populations

Book concept

Phylogeography as a tool ...
... to understand the history of populations and species, and
... to understand the biology of present processes in species (e.g. measure of gene flow and turn over rates)

Focus on relicts (presumed history is important: formerly wide distribution, then restriction)

Conservation:

Are relicts CUs, MUs or ESUs?
Strategies for long-term survival?
Incl. the role of management and climate change
Policies and politics (how to re-act/inter-act?)
