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 …

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 …

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 …

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is an economically very important and scientifically well
investigated tree species of the northern hemisphere occupying large areas with different …

Scots pine is one of the most widely occurring pines, but future projections suggest a large
reduction in its range, mostly at the southern European limits. A significant part of its range is …

We studied the genetic differentiation, structure, and diversity of Scots pine populations in
Lithuania based on nuclear, chloroplast microsatellite, and mitochondrial DNA markers. We …

Nucleotide variation at several cold candidate genes including seven members of the
dehydrin gene family was surveyed in haplotypes of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) sampled in …

Interspecific hybridization may enhance the capacity of populations to adapt to changing
environments, and has practical implications for reforestation. We use genome‐wide …

Scots pine is the foundation species of diverse forested ecosystems across Eurasia and
displays remarkable ecological breadth, occurring in environments ranging from temperate …

Twenty-one populations of Scots pine sampled over the entire Italian range of the species
were analysed for genetic variation scored at nine nuclear SSR markers. The main aim of …
