Trees are key ecosystem engineers. Many analyses of the genetic diversity of forest trees
over substantial parts of their distributional ranges are appearing. These studies are of …

Hybridization between distinct species may lead to introgression of genes across species
boundaries, and this pattern can potentially persist for extended periods as long as selection …

Spatial patterns of genetic variation provide information central to many ecological,
evolutionary, and conservation questions. This spatial variability has traditionally been …

Hybridization plays a significant role in biological evolution. However, it is not clear whether
ecological contingency differentially influences likelihood of hybridization, particularly at …

The expected changes to the environmental conditions have concerned the scientific
community over the last few decades. A rise in the mean temperature and a variation in …

Abstract The eastern North American white oaks, a complex of approximately 16 potentially
interbreeding species, have become a classic model for studying the genetic nature of …

Current theoretical studies on mechanisms promoting species co-existence in diverse
communities assume that species are fixed in their mating behavior. Each species is a …

In widespread taxa in which hybridization is suspected of being an important aspect of
species biology, the patterns and drivers of lineage diversification are not always clear …

In order to elucidate the factors affecting the genetic diversity of Quercus serrata in
secondary forests in mountainous regions, we evaluated the level and distribution of genetic …

The dynamics and processes underlying the codiversification of plant–pollinator interactions
are of great interest to researchers of biodiversity and evolution. Cospeciation is generally …
