Geographic variation in genetic and demographic performance: new insights from an old biogeographical paradigm
Abstract The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) is a long‐standing postulate in ecology
that states that genetic variation and demographic performance of a species decrease from …

Potential for evolutionary responses to climate change–evidence from tree populations
Evolutionary responses are required for tree populations to be able to track climate change.
Results of 250 years of common garden experiments show that most forest trees have …

Contributions of Quaternary botany to modern ecology and biogeography
HJB Birks - Plant Ecology & Diversity, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
ABSTRACT Quaternary (last 2.6 million years) botany involves studying plant megafossils
(eg tree stumps), macrofossils (eg seeds, leaves), and microfossils (eg pollen, spores) …

Patterns and dynamics of European vegetation change over the last 15,000 years
Aim Palaeoecological reconstructions document past vegetation change, with estimates of
fast shifts in species distributions. The resulting rates of plant spread are often not matched …

Disentangling the Roles of History and Local Selection in Shaping Clinal Variation of Allele Frequencies and Gene Expression in Norway Spruce (Picea abies)
Understanding the genetic basis of local adaptation is challenging due to the subtle balance
among conflicting evolutionary forces that are involved in its establishment and …

Tree growth response along an elevational gradient: climate or genetics?
Environment and genetics combine to influence tree growth and should therefore be jointly
considered when evaluating forest responses in a warming climate. Here, we combine …

J Korecký, J Čepl, J Stejskal, Z Faltinová, J Dvořák… - Scientific reports, 2021 - nature.com
We investigated the genetic structure of three phenotypically distinct ecotypic groups of
Norway spruce (Picea abies) belonging to three elevational classes; namely, low …

Higher genetic diversity in recolonized areas than in refugia of Alnus glutinosa triggered by continent‐wide lineage admixture
Genetic admixture is supposed to be an important trigger of species expansions because it
can create the potential for selection of genotypes suitable for new climatic conditions. Up …
