Ancestral Haplotype Retention and Population Expansion Determine the Complicated Population Genetic Structure of the Hilly Lineage of <i>Neolucanus swinhoei</i> Complex (Coleoptera, Lucanidae) on the Subtropical Taiwan Island

The present study demonstrates that the complicated genetic structure of the hilly lineage of the <i>Neolucanus swinhoei</i> complex was driven by its biological features and habitat requirements as well as hindrance by the CMR during periodical Pleistocene glaciations. The results revea...
