description Abstract The Carpathians are an important biodiversity hotspot and a link between mountain ranges on the European continent. This study investigated the phylogeography of one the Carpathian subendemics, Leucanthemum rotundifolium, which is distributed throughout the range and in one isolated population outside it. Range-wide sampling was used to examine phylogeographic patterns by sequencing uniparentally inherited chloroplast markers that exemplify seed dispersal. Reconstruct Ancestral State in Phylogenies (RASP) software, Bayesian binary Markov Chain Monte Carlo (BBM) analysis, and ecological niche modeling based on concatenated results of five algorithms were used to infer migration routes and examine links with other species through phylogeny. The round-leaved oxeye daisy is an example of organisms that reached the Carpathians through a southern “Dacian” migration route, most probably through long-distance dispersal. Dating placed the events in the Pleistocene and supported migrations during cooler periods and stasis/isolation followed by separation in the interglacials. Haplotype diversification indicated that after L. rotundifolium reached the area around the Fagaras Mountains, several migration events occurred leading to colonization of the Southern Carpathians followed by migration to the Apuseni Mountains, the Eastern Carpathians, and finally the Western Carpathians. The results are consistent with previous phylogeographic studies in this region and indicate several novel patterns.
