Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Background The Arctic provides an excellent system to study climate change effects on geographic ranges and genetic diversity. We re-examine the large number of phylogeographic studies of Arctic plants to assess general patterns and identify knowledge gaps.Aims To synthesise advances and address century-old controversies, e.g. is it necessary to invoke separate glacial refugia to explain Arctic disjunctions?Methods We undertook a literature survey of the phylogeography of Arctic vascular plants.Results We provide a list of 88 taxa studied, representing a striking diversity of phylogeographic histories. In many widespread species, recent trans-oceanic long-distance dispersal (LDD) is sufficient to explain disjunctions, but three rare species show clear signals of separate Scandinavian and American glacial refugia. The extreme bipolar disjunctions are apparently caused by Plio-Pleistocene LDDs. Beringia and western Siberia have served as long-standing northern refugia; in contrast, North Atlantic areas harbour much less genetic diversity and distinctiveness. The genomic era is now providing evidence for multiple refugia from modern and ancient DNA and demonstrating that selfing leads to high biological species diversity within taxonomically recognised species.Conclusions More extensive sampling, reference genomes, and population genomic studies are required for in-depth understanding of past distributions, dispersal routes, and ability to track ongoing climate change.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
