Pleistocene Refugia

Pleistocene Refugia is a biogeographical concept referring to geographically isolated regions where species persisted during glacial cycles of the Pleistocene epoch, distinguished from other refugia by their specific temporal association with Pleistocene climatic fluctuations and their role in shaping contemporary patterns of biodiversity across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems.
