Conservation and Monitoring of Tree Genetic Resources in Temperate Forests
In the era of predicted significant environmental change, genetic conservation and monitoring of long-lived forest trees are of paramount importance for the survival of natural populations. Genetic…
MoreGenetic Structure of a Naturally Regenerating Post-Fire Seedling Population: Pinus halepensis As a Case Study
To study the effects of wildfire on population genetics of a wind pollinated and wind dispersed tree, we have analyzed the genetic structure of a post-fire, naturally regenerating seedling population…
MoreSoil properties drive a negative correlation between species diversity and genetic diversity in a tropical seasonal rainforest
A negative species-genetic diversity correlation (SGDC) could be predicted by the niche variation hypothesis, whereby an increase in species diversity within community reduces the genetic diversity of…
MoreRecent landscape genomics studies in forest trees—what can we believe?
Landscape genomics is potentially a powerful research field for discovery of genes underlying complex patterns of adaptation in forest ecosystems. The general approach is to search for associations…
MoreAdapting to a warming world: Ecological restoration, climate change, and genomics
Global climate change and other anthropogenic influences are rapidly transforming the habitats of many species. A species’ ability to cope will depend on its capacity to tolerate these changes in situ…
MoreConvergent local adaptation to climate in distantly related conifers
When confronted with an adaptive challenge, such as extreme temperature, closely related species frequently evolve similar phenotypes using the same genes. Although such repeated evolution is thought…
