Abstract excerpt
High-latitude ecotonal populations at the species margins may exhibit altered patterns of genetic diversity, resulting from more or less recent founder events and from bottleneck effects in response to climate oscillations. Patterns of genetic diversity were investigated in nine populations of the conifer black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] BSP.) in northwestern Québec, Canada, using seed-dispersed mitochondrial...
