Molecular diversity analysis of deciduous pubescent oaks was conducted for populations
from Calabria, Sicily and Sardinia. The aims of this study were twofold. First, to provide data …

Species identification within the species complex of Q. pubescens is a well-known
taxonomic challenge among European botanists. Some of the specific pubescent oak …

This paper provides characteristic and a comprehensive overview of the adaptation
strategies of sessile oak (Quercus petraea [Matt.] Liebl.) in the context of global climate …

Small, isolated populations are more vulnerable to natural disturbances and loss of genetic
diversity. Scots pine, an abundant tree species in the boreal forest of Eurasia, has a …

Key message Naturally regenerating populations of common beech, pedunculate, and
sessile oaks develop strong spatial genetic structures at adult and seedling stages …

Genetic diversity was studied in 41 populations (755 trees) of pedunculate oak Quercus
robur in North Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Crimea, and the Caucasus using 14 nuclear …

Quercus vulcanica, an endemic species with scattered distribution, and Q. frainetto are
naturally distributed in Turkey. Although they have been reported as closely related species …

The genetic structure of populations at the edge of species distribution is important for
species adaptation to environmental changes. Small populations may experience non …

Natural hybridisation has significant ecological, genetic and evolutionary consequences
altering morphological and chemical characters of individuals. Quercus glabrescens, Q …

Quercus pubescens and Q. virgiliana are the most cited taxa in the Italian deciduous oak
forests floristic and phytosociological literature. According to some authors, Q. pubescens is …
