The Quaternary history of European nemoral forests in the east of their distribution may differ significantly from the typical dynamics of populations and ranges of most deciduous species in Western and Central Europe, characterized by survival in the Mediterranean refugia in glacial phases and recolonization in the interglacials. This study focuses on the phylogeography of the small-leaved lime Tilia cordata Mill. s. s. (Malvaceae) and related taxa in Eastern Europe, the Urals, Siberia, and the
