BACKGROUND: Local adaptation is a key driver of phenotypic and genetic divergence at loci responsible for adaptive traits variations in forest tree populations. Its experimental assessment requires rigorous sampling strategies such as those involving population pairs replicated across broad spatial scales. METHODS: A hierarchical Bayesian model of selection (HBM) that explicitly considers both the replication of...
