What is it about?
This paper shows that endemic species, that often have very limited ranges, can have complex phylogeographic histories within their refugial area.

Why is it important?
It is important because it illustrates that endemic and threatened species can have a very complex genetic structure in the landscape, and the preservation of this genetic diversity is important in a context of climate change, to avoid inbreeding depression and maybe allow the adaptation to future climate conditions .
