Responses to climate change will include changes in species composition, but adaptation
through genetic change may also be possible. The response to selection depends on the …

Pinus sylvestris has a long history of basic and applied research that is relevant for both
forestry and evolutionary studies. Its patterns of adaptive variation and role in forest …

Biodiversity refers to variation within the living world, while genetic diversity represents the
heritable variation within and between populations of organisms, and in the context of this …

Patterns of pollen dispersal were investigated in a small, isolated, relict population of Pinus
sylvestris L., consisting of 36 trees. A total-exclusion battery comprising four chloroplast and …

We have examined patterns of variation of several kinds of molecular markers (isozymes,
RFLPs of ribosomal DNA and anonymous low-copy number DNA, RAPDs and …

Variation in species and genus richness among families of flowering plants was examined
with respect to four classification variables: geographical distribution, growth form …

To infer the role of natural selection in shaping standing genetic diversity, it is necessary to
assess the genomewide impact of demographic history on nucleotide diversity. In this study …

Background At the last glacial maximum, Fennoscandia was covered by an ice sheet while
the tundra occupied most of the rest of northern Eurasia. More or less disjunct refugial …

Understanding the present-day distribution of molecular variation requires knowledge about
the history of the species. Past colonization routes and locations of refugia of Scots pine …
