Evolutionary history and past climate change shape the distribution of genetic diversity in terrestrial mammals

The drivers of genetic diversity (GD) are poorly understood at the global scale. Here the authors show, for terrestrial mammals, that within-species GD covaries with phylogenetic diversity and is higher in locations with more stable past climates. They also interpolate GD for data-poor locations suc...
