Rolling down that mountain: microgeographical adaptive divergence during a fast population expansion along a steep environmental gradient in European beech.

Abstract excerpt

Forest tree populations harbour high genetic diversity thanks to large effective population sizes and strong gene flow, allowing them to diversify through adaptation to local environmental pressures within dispersal distance. Many tree populations also experienced historical demographic fluctuations, including spatial population contraction or expansions at various temporal scales, which may constrain their...
