Geography and Environment Shape Spatial Genetic Variation and Predict Climate Maladaptation Across Isolated and Disjunct Populations of Pinus muricata.

Abstract excerpt

Assessing the evolutionary potential of rare species with limited migration amidst ongoing climate change requires an understanding of patterns of genetic variation and local adaptation. In contrast to the large distributions and population sizes of most pines, Pinus muricata (bishop pine) occurs in a few isolated populations along coastal western North America and is listed as threatened by the IUCN. To quantify...
