Biological invasions constitute a major environmental change driver, affecting conservation,
agriculture and human health. Invasive alien species (IAS) impacts include, alterations of …

As temperatures warm and precipitation patterns shift as a result of climate change, interest
in the identification of tree genotypes that will thrive under more arid conditions has grown …

When confronted with an adaptive challenge, such as extreme temperature, closely related
species frequently evolve similar phenotypes using the same genes. Although such …

Insights from sequenced genomes of major land plant lineages have advanced research in
almost every aspect of plant biology. Until recently, however, assembled genome …

Forest trees are an unparalleled group of organisms in their combined ecological, economic
and societal importance. With widespread distributions, predominantly random mating …

We evaluate genomic data, relative to phenotypic and climatic data, as a basis for assisted
gene flow and genetic conservation. Using a seedling common garden trial of 281 …

As tree species vary extensively in genome size, complexity, and resource development,
reduced representation methods have been increasingly employed for the generation of …

The rates and biological significance of somatic mutations have long been a subject of
debate. Somatic mutations in plants are expected to accumulate with vegetative growth and …

Conifers have been understudied at the genomic level despite their worldwide ecological
and economic importance but the situation is rapidly changing with the development of next …

Sequence capture is a flexible tool for generating reduced representation libraries,
particularly in species with massive genomes. We used an exome capture approach to …
