Abstract To characterize Late Pleniglacial (LPG: 26.5–15 ka cal BP) and particularly Last
Glacial Maximum (LGM: 21±2 ka cal BP) vegetation and climate, fossil pollen assemblages …

High-resolution pollen, conifer stomata and plant macrofossil analyses of two glacial lake
sediments (1740 and 1990 m asl) are used to reconstruct Lateglacial (LG) and early …

Climate is one of the most important drivers of local adaptation in forest tree species.
Standing levels of genetic diversity and structure within and among natural populations of …

Aim Our aims were to test whether morphological species of mountain pines were
genetically supported in the western part of the distribution range of the Pinus mugo species …

Aim Knowing a species' response to historical climate shifts helps understanding its
perspectives under global warming. We infer the hitherto unresolved postglacial history of …

Background Genetic processes shape the modern-day distribution of genetic variation within
and between populations and can provide important insights into the underlying …

EUFORGEN started its activities with pilot networks on a few model tree species and
gradually it evolved into a collaborative platform focusing on broader groups of tree species …

Critical to conservation efforts and other investigations at low taxonomic levels, DNA
sequence data offer important insights into the distinctiveness, biogeographic partitioning …

Glacial relicts have been regionally more common in glacial than in recent times. A rigorous
assessment of which species are indeed glacial relicts is extremely difficult because direct …

Phylogeographic studies allow us to better understand the past history of species and the
factors that mold their current distribution. Here, we demonstrate the potential human impact …
