Glacial relict

Population of a cold-adapted species remaining after its glacier habitat has receded

A glacial relict is a population of a species previously common during a glacial period that retreated into refugia during interglacial periods. They are typically cold-adapted species with a distribution restricted to regions and microhabitats that allow them to survive despite climatic changes.
