Refugium, plural refugia, the Latin for "refuge" or "hideaway", may refer to: Refugium (fishkeeping) , an appendage to a marine, brackish, or freshwater fish tank that shares the same water supply Refugium (population biology) , a location of an isolated or relict population of a once widespread animal or plant species
In biology, a refugium (plural: refugia) is a location which supports an isolated or relict population of a once more widespread species. This isolation ( allopatry ) can be due to climatic changes, geography, or human activities such as deforestation and overhunting.
In support of possible refugia, a brown bear skeleton was found on Coronation dating back to 11630 years BP. This may show that there was a refugium nearby that this bear could have traveled from. It may also indicate that Coronation was a refugium that provided a food source for the bear. [3]
During the LGM, 27-66% of Africa was a refugium for humans. Humans thrived here because of the abundance of humidity, accessibility of woodlands, and lastly precipitation/access to water. The Zambezi , Omo river , and the Great Rift Valley lakes were major sources of water in southern Africa.

[ 1 ] It is a " refugium " in the sense that it permits organisms to be maintained that would not survive in the main system, whether food animals, anaerobic ...
A glacial refugium (plural glacial refugia) is a geographic region which made possible the survival of flora and fauna during ice ages and allowed for post-glacial re-colonization. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Different types of glacial refugia can be distinguished, namely nunatak , peripheral, and lowland. [ 3 ]
Refugium (population biology), a location of an isolated or relict population of a previously more widespread species Refuge crop , a non- genetically modified food crop planted alongside a genetically modified one to prevent or slow the development of predators resistant to its modified properties by purposely encouraging the mating of species ...
