The climatic oscillations of the Pleistocene are believed to have greatly impacted the distribution and population dynamics of many terrestrial and marine taxa. Studies investigating the evolutionary effects of palaeo-climatic fluctuations in the East Asia Seas are scarce and the limited studies ava...
