Potential for evolutionary responses to climate change–evidence from tree populations
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 …

Genome‐wide association genetics of an adaptive trait in lodgepole pine
Pine cones that remain closed and retain seeds until fire causes the cones to open (cone
serotiny) represent a key adaptive trait in a variety of pine species. In lodgepole pine, there …

Genome‐wide association implicates numerous genes underlying ecological trait variation in natural populations of Populus trichocarpa
In order to uncover the genetic basis of phenotypic trait variation, we used 448 unrelated
wild accessions of black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) from much of its range in western …
