▪ Abstract A moment estimator of θ, the coancestry coefficient for alleles within a population,
was described by Weir & Cockerham in 1984 and is still widely cited. The estimate is used …

Expansion of planted forests and intensification of their management has raised concerns
among forest managers and the public over the implications of these trends for sustainable …

Resistance to cavitation is a major determinant of plant survival under severe drought and
can be used to quantify species adaptive potential. Interspecific variation in this key trait is …

Background Cavitation resistance to water stress-induced embolism determines plant
survival during drought. This adaptive trait has been described as highly variable in a wide …

Pinus pinea L. is widely disseminated all over the Mediterranean Basin. Qualitatively, P.
pinea fatty acid seed composition is identical and typical of the genus Pinus. This …

Maritime pine provides essential ecosystem services in the south‐western M editerranean
basin, where it covers around 4 million ha. Its scattered distribution over a range of …

A new set of 14 chloroplast microsatellites, represented by mono‐and dinucleotide repeats,
was optimized in the three main species of the Fagaceae (Castanea sativa, Fagus sylvatica …

We compared the genetic variation of Pinus pinaster populations using amplified fragment
length polymorphism (AFLP) and chloroplast simple‐sequence repeat (cpSSR) loci …

Alpine and Northern Apennine populations of Pinus sylvestris collected from eight different
Italian sites were analyzed by mitochondrial nadI intron and InterSimple Sequence Repeat …

Coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) naturally growing in southern Oregon and northern
California is one of the few conifer tree species that are polyploid. Despite its unique …
