During the course of millions of years, evolutionary forces have shaped the current distribution of species and their genetic variability, by influencing their phylogeny, adaptability and probability of survival. Southeast Asia is an extraordinary biodiverse region, where past climate events have resulted in dramatic changes in land availability and distribution of vegetation, resulting likewise in periodic connections between isolated islands and the mainland. These events have influenced the way species are distributed throughout this region but, more importantly, they influenced the genesis of genetic diversity. Despite the observation that a shared paleo-history resulted in very diverse species phylogeographic patterns, the mechanisms behind these patterns are still poorly understood. In this thesis, I investigated and contrasted the phylogeography of three groups of ungulate species distributed within South and Southeast Asia, aiming to understand what mechanisms have shaped speciation and geographical distribution of genetic…
