Spatial genetic structure of Taxus baccata L. in the western Mediterranean Basin: past and present limits to gene movement over a broad geographic scale.

Abstract excerpt

English yew (Taxus baccata L., Taxaceae), a Tertiary relict, provides a seminal example of a widespread albeit locally endangered (often close to extinction) tree species. In order to gain detailed insights into the evolutionary dynamics of the species on a broad geographical scale, over 1000 trees from 91 populations of English yew in the western Mediterranean were analyzed using seven nuclear microsatellite...
