There is a gap between the order of magnitude of maximum documented distances of
airborne tree pollen transport (up to 102–103 km) and effective wind pollination (up to 101 …

In order to evaluate the possibility of long distance gene flow in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris
L.), we measured the amount and germinability of airborne pollen and flowering phenology …

Detecting “extra-local” pollen, and especially long-distance transport events, in fossil pollen
data is a problematical task, particularly when one species dominates both the vegetation …

The hypothesis that gene flow northwards by long distance wind dispersal of pollen is a
contributing factor in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seed crops in northern Scandinavia …

Better knowledge of aerobiological properties of pollen clouds is needed for pines and other
woody perennials because these properties shape the predictive accuracy of spatially …

Pollen gene flow is one of the most important factors influencing genetic structure of wind
pollinated forest trees. We investigated mating system, pollen dispersal patterns and the …

Viability of long‐distance pollen links ecological models to the genetic structure of forest tree
populations, determining how forests will adapt to climate change and how far genes flow …

Background: The relative frequency of wind-and animal-pollinated plants a non-randomly
distributed across the globe and numerous hypotheses have been raised for the greater …

Patterns of pollen dispersal were investigated in a small, isolated, relict population of Pinus
sylvestris L., consisting of 36 trees. A total-exclusion battery comprising four chloroplast and …

Short distance pollen dispersal shapes the local genetic structure of plant populations and
determines the opportunity for genetic drift and local selection. In this paper we focus on …
