The Mediterranean populations of maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) are typically small and
have a scattered distribution, being threatened by human activities and forest fires. In the …

Evolutionary responses are required for tree populations to be able to track climate change.
Results of 250 years of common garden experiments show that most forest trees have …

The conservation and sustainable use of forests in the twenty-first century pose huge challenges
for forest management and policy. Society demands that forests provide a wide range of …

Mediterranean ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots located between temperate mesic
climates and semi‐deserts and deserts. Mediterranean climates are characterized by a drought …

La diversidad biológica, su conservación e incremento, es uno de los principios básicos de
la gestión forestal sostenible. La alta variabilidad genética de las especies forestales es …

Aim To assess the effect of local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity on the potential
distribution of species under future climate changes. Trees may be adapted to specific climatic …

This study combines neutrality tests and environmental correlations to identify nonneutral
patterns of evolution in candidate genes related to drought stress in two closely related …

Age and size at the first reproduction and the reproductive allocation of plants are linked to
different life history strategies. Aleppo pine only reproduces through seed, and, as such, early …

Some 1339 trees from 48 Pinus pinaster stands were characterized by five chloroplast
microsatellites, detecting a total of 103 distinct haplotypes. Frequencies for the 16 most abundant …

Aim This work investigates the population genetic effects of periodic altitudinal migrations
and interstadial fragmentation episodes in long‐term Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) …
