title: Phylogeographic structure of the pygmy shrew: revisiting the roles of southern and northern refugia in Europe
abstract: ABSTRACT Southern and northern glacial refugia are considered paradigms that explain the complex phylogeographic patterns and processes of European biota. Although the Eurasian pygmy shrew Sorex minutus Linnaeus, 1766 (Eulipotyphla, Soricidae) has been used a model species to study geographic isolation and genetic diversification in Mediterranean peninsulas in the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), and post-glacial population expansion from cryptic northern glacial refugia in Western and Central Europe
