Assessments of population genetic structure have become an increasing focus as they can
provide valuable insight into patterns of migration and gene flow. structure, the most highly …

In this chapter, we review major classification schemes proposed for oaks by John Claudius
Loudon, Anders Sandøe Ørsted, William Trelease, Otto Karl Anton Schwarz, Aimée …

Understanding how and why populations evolve is of fundamental importance to molecular
ecology. Restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing (RAD seq), a popular reduced …

The tree of life is highly reticulate, with the history of population divergence emerging from
populations of gene phylogenies that reflect histories of introgression, lineage sorting and …

The genus Quercus is among the most widespread and species‐rich tree genera in the
northern hemisphere. The extraordinary species diversity in America and Asia together with …

Summary Oaks (Quercus, Fagaceae) are the dominant tree genus of North America in
species number and biomass, and Mexico is a global center of oak diversity. Understanding …

Introgressive hybridization challenges the concepts we use to define species and infer
phylogenetic relationships. Methods for inferring historical introgression from the genomes …

Root traits including root exudates are key factors affecting plant interactions with soil and
thus play an important role in determining ecosystem processes. The drivers of their …

Deserts, even those at tropical latitudes, often have strikingly low levels of plant diversity,
particularly within genera. One remarkable exception to this pattern is the genus Petalidium …
