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 …

Local adaptation shapes species diversity, can be a stepping stone to ecological speciation,
and can facilitate species range expansion. Population genetic analyses, which complement …

Fluctuations in environmental conditions greatly influence life on earth. Plants, as sessile
organisms, have developed molecular mechanisms to adapt their development to changes …

GIGANTEA (GI) is a plant specific nuclear protein and functions in diverse physiological
processes such as flowering time regulation, light signaling, hypocotyl elongation, control of …

The evolutionary potential of long‐lived species, such as forest trees, is fundamental for their
local persistence under climate change (CC). Genome–environment association (GEA) …

A major challenge for biology is to extend our understanding of molecular regulation from
the simplified conditions of the laboratory to ecologically relevant environments. Tractable …

Accurately detecting signatures of local adaptation using genetic‐environment associations
(GEA s) requires controlling for neutral patterns of population structure to reduce the risk of …

Survival of trees growing in temperate zones requires cycling between active growth and
dormancy. This involves growth cessation in the autumn triggered by a photoperiod shorter …

Understanding adaptive genetic responses to climate change is a main challenge for
preserving biological diversity. Successful predictive models for climate-driven range shifts …

The conifers are a diverse and ancient group of seed plants of monophyletic origin that
arose more than 300 million years ago (Rothwell and Scheckler 1988). They are uniformly …
