	38. 442 Accesses	Research article Phylogeography and allopatric divergence of cypress species (Cupressus L.) in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and adjacent regions Tingting Xu, Richard J Abbott, Richard I Milne, Kangshan Mao, Fang K Du, Guili Wu, Zhaxi Ciren, Georg Miehe, Jianquan Liu BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:194 (22 June 2010) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary Geographic isolation within the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau probably promoted allopatric divergence in Asian cypress species by restricting gene flow and fixing local, species-specific haplotypes, while periods of unfavorable climate and human activity might have caused the low intraspecific diversity.
