Introgression is emerging as an important source of novel genetic variation, alongside
standing variation and mutation. It is adaptive when such introgressed alleles are …

Reproductive isolation in plants occurs through multiple barriers that restrict gene flow
between populations, but their origins remain uncertain. Work in the past decade has shown …

How barriers to gene flow arise and are maintained are key questions in evolutionary
biology. Speciation research has mainly focused on barriers that occur either before mating …

Natural hybrid zones in forest trees provide systems to study the transfer of adaptive genetic
variation by introgression. Previous landscape genomic studies in Populus trichocarpa, a …

Historical trajectories of tree species during the late Quaternary have been well
reconstructed through genetic and palaeobotanical studies. However, many congeneric tree …

We aimed to evaluate the importance of modulations of within‐tree carbon (C) allocation by
water and low‐temperature stress for the prediction of annual forest growth with a process …

Ecological character displacement (ECD) refers to a pattern of increased divergence at sites
where species ranges overlap caused by competition for resources. Although ECD is …

Oaks are dominant forest tree species widely distributed across the Northern Hemisphere,
where they constitute natural resources of economic, ecological, social and historical value …

We developed the densest single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based linkage genetic
map to date for the genus Quercus. An 8k gene-based SNP array was used to genotype …

Loci considered to be under selection are generally avoided in attempts to infer past
demographic processes as they do not fit neutral model assumptions. However …
