Adaptive consequences of human-mediated introgression for indigenous tree species: the case of a relict Pinus pinaster population.

Abstract excerpt

Human-induced gene movement via afforestation and restoration programs is a widespread phenomenon throughout the world. However, its effects on the genetic composition of native populations have received relatively little attention, particularly in forest trees. Here, we examine to what extent gene flow from allochthonous plantations of Pinus pinaster Aiton impacts offspring performance in a neighboring relict...
