Gene flow and local adaptation in trees
Populations are locally adapted when populations have the highest relative fitness at their
home sites, and lower fitness in other parts of the range. Results from the extensive …

Adaptive vs. neutral genetic diversity: implications for landscape genetics
R Holderegger, U Kamm, F Gugerli - Landscape Ecology, 2006 - Springer
Genetic diversity is important for the maintenance of the viability and the evolutionary or
adaptive potential of populations and species. However, there are two principal types of …

[HTML][HTML] The role of forest genetic resources in responding to biotic and abiotic factors in the context of anthropogenic climate change
The current distribution of forest genetic resources on Earth is the result of a combination of
natural processes and human actions. Over time, tree populations have become adapted to …

Species persistence in northerly glacial refugia of Europe: a matter of chance or biogeographical traits?
Abstract Aim The southern European peninsulas (Iberian, Italian and Balkan) are
considered to have been refugia for many European species of plants and animals during …

Adaptive and plastic responses of Quercus petraea populations to climate across Europe
How temperate forests will respond to climate change is uncertain; projections range from
severe decline to increased growth. We conducted field tests of sessile oak (Quercus …
