Abstract

Caribou populations that have experienced a relatively stable climatic history have high genetic diversity and occur in regions where climate stability is expected to continue. These findings, based on analyses of molecular data, predicted species distributions and a diffusion model, provide insight into the role of past and future climate change in controlling species’ genetic structure and evolutionary potential.
