Genetic admixture of divergent intraspecific lineages is increasingly suspected to have an
important role in the success of colonising populations. However, admixture is not a …

Despite the absence of major Quaternary glaciations in arid Northwest China, significant
climatic oscillations definitely impacted the evolution of the biota in situ. Phylogeography has …

We investigated the biogeographic history of Kalopanax septemlobus, one of the most
widespread temperate tree species in East Asia, using a combined phylogeographic and …

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 …

Conservation of the local genetic variation and evolutionary integrity of economically and
ecologically important trees is a key aspect of studies involving forest genetics, and a …

Abstract Background and Aims Distribution shifts and natural selection during past climatic
changes are important factors in determining the genetic structure of forest species. In …

Drought entails important effects on tree physiology, which may result in short‐to long‐term
radial growth decreases. While the majority of studies have focused on annual drought …

Characterizing the current population structure of potentially invasive species provides a
critical context for identifying source populations and for understanding why invasions are …

Forest conservation and the sustainable use of forests are important issues for biodiversity
conservation, water supply, disaster prevention, recreation, carbon stock, and wood …

Tree form evolution is an important ecological specialization for woody species, but its
evolutionary process with adaptation is poorly understood, especially on the …
