AB  - BACKGROUND: Geological events and climatic changes played important roles in 
      shaping population differentiation and distribution within species. In China, 
      populations in many species have contracted and expanded responding to 
      environmental changes with the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) and 
      glacial cycles during Pleistocene. In this study, we analysed the population 
      structure of Godlewski's Bunting, Emberiza godlewskii, to determine the effects 
      of major historical events, geographic barriers and past climatic changes on 
      phylogenetic divergence and historical demographic dynamics of this species. 
      RESULTS: A phylogeny based on concatenated mitochondrial and nuclear DNA datasets 
      show two (northern and southern) clades approximately diverged 3.26 million years 
      ago (Ma). The West Qinling Mountains serve as a dividing line between the two 
      lineages. Both lineages experienced a recent demographic expansion during 
      interglacial periods (marine isotope stages (MISs) 2-6). Bayesian skyline plots 
      and the results of ecological niche modelling suggested a more intensive 
      expansion of the northern lineage during the late Pleistocene, whereas the 
      southern lineage was comparatively mild in population growth. CONCLUSIONS: Our 
      results provide insights into the distribution patterns of avian taxa and the 
      possible mechanisms for a south and north divergence model in China. The deep 
      divergence may have been shaped by the uplift of the QTP. Habitat preferences 
      might have facilitated the lineage divergence for E. godlewskii. Moreover, the 
      West Qinling Mountains act as a dividing line between the two lineages, 
      indicating a novel phylogeographic pattern of organisms in China. The difference 
      in population expansion mode between two lineages resulted from different effects 
      caused by the climate of the LGM and the subsequent habitat changes accompanying 
      the arrival of a colder climate in northern and southern regions of China.
