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 …

Tree taxa shifted latitude or elevation range in response to changes in Quaternary climate.
Because many modern trees display adaptive differentiation in relation to latitude or …

Ecology Letters (2012) 15: 378–392 Abstract Forest trees are the dominant species in many
parts of the world and predicting how they might respond to climate change is a vital global …

Glacial refuge areas are expected to harbor a large fraction of the intraspecific biodiversity of
the temperate biota. To test this hypothesis, we studied chloroplast DNA variation in 22 …

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 …

Host and parasite evolution are closely intertwined, with selection for adaptations and
counter‐adaptations forming a coevolutionary feedback loop. Coevolutionary dynamics are …

Trees do not form a natural group but share attributes such as great size, longevity, and high
reproductive output that affect their mode and tempo of evolution. In particular, trees are …

The apple is the most common and culturally important fruit crop of temperate areas. The
elucidation of its origin and domestication history is therefore of great interest. The wild …

This completely revised, fourth edition of Introduction to Plant Population Biology continues
the approach taken by its highly successful predecessors. Ecological and genetic principles …

• Premise of the study: Archaeological and genetic analyses of seed‐propagated annual
crops have greatly advanced our understanding of plant domestication and evolution …
