The oak flora of North America north of Mexico is both phylogenetically diverse and species-
rich, including 92 species placed in five sections of subgenus Quercus, the oak clade …

A central question in evolutionary biology is how gene flow and natural selection shape
geographic patterns of genotypic and phenotypic variation. My overall research program has …

Here we study hybridization, introgression and lineage diversification in the widely
distributed canyon live oak (Quercus chrysolepis) and the relict island oak (Q. átomentella) …

Aim Climate change poses significant challenges for tree species, which are slow to adapt
and migrate. Insight into genetic and phenotypic variation under current landscape …

Abstract Hainan Island in southern China is situated within the Indo-Burma biodiversity
hotspot, and has attracted the attention of evolutionary biologists, geologists, and …

Disentangling the relative role of environmental filtering and spatial processes in driving
metacommunity structure across mountainous regions remains challenging, as the way we …

Predicting species‐level effects of climatic changes requires unraveling the factors affecting
the spatial genetic composition. However, disentangling the relative contribution of historical …

Although the impact of Pleistocene glacial cycles on the diversification of the tropical biota
