There is substantial interest in uncovering the genetic basis of the traits underlying adaptive
responses in tree species, as this information will ultimately aid conservation and industrial …

Pinus sylvestris has a long history of basic and applied research that is relevant for both
forestry and evolutionary studies. Its patterns of adaptive variation and role in forest …

The effect of past environmental changes on the demography and genetic diversity of

Pines are some of the most ecologically and economically important tree species in the
world, and many have enormous natural distributions or have been extensively planted …

Research in forest tree species has advanced slowly when compared with other agricultural
crops and model organisms, mainly due to the long‐life cycles, large genome sizes, and …

Pinus sylvestris (Scots pine) is the most widespread coniferous tree in the boreal forests of
Eurasia, with major economic and ecological importance. However, its large and repetitive …

Past environmental changes have shaped the demographic history and genetic diversity of
