Ancient reindeer mitogenomes reveal island-hopping colonisation of the Arctic archipelagos
Abstract Climate warming at the end of the last glacial period had profound effects on the distribution of cold-adapted species. As their range shifted towards northern latitudes, they were able to colonise previously glaciated areas, including remote Arctic islands. However, there is still uncertai...
