Spruce (Picea spp.) species are the dominant component of the circumboreal forest and one
of the most reforested species groups in the world. They have become a reference among …

An increasing number of species are thought to have originated by homoploid hybrid
speciation (HHS), but in only a handful of cases are details of the process known. A previous …

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 …

Biogeographic history of plants is much more complex in the Northern Hemisphere than in
the Southern Hemisphere due to that both the Bering and the North Atlantic land bridges …

Nonbifurcating divergence caused by introgressive hybridization is continuously reported for
groups of closely related species. In this study, we aimed to reconstruct the genome‐scale …

Median‐joining (MJ) was proposed as a method for phylogeographical analysis and is
enjoying increasing popularity. Herein, we evaluate the efficacy of the approach as originally …

Speciation among populations connected by gene flow is driven by adaptation to different
environments, but underlying gene–environment associations remain largely unknown …

Hybridization and introgression are believed to play important roles in plant evolution.
However, few empirical studies have been designed to clarify the ways in which these …

A laborious and difficult task in current tree of life reconstruction is to resolve evolutionary
relationships of closely related congeneric species that originated from recent radiations …

Род ель (Picea abies Dietr.) активно используется в городском озеленении,
ландшафтном строительстве и является одной из главных лесообразующих пород не …
