title: Molecular biogeography of the fungus-dwelling saproxylic beetle <i>Bolitophagus reticulatus</i> indicates rapid expansion from glacial refugia
abstract: Abstract The geographical distributions of species associated with European temperate broadleaf forests have been significantly influenced by glacial–interglacial cycles. During glacial periods, these species persisted in Mediterranean and extra-Mediterranean refugia and later, during interglacial periods, expanded northwards. The widespread saproxylic beetle Bolitophagus reticulatus depends closely on European temperate broadleaf forests. It usually develops in the tinder fungus Fomes fomentari
