Abstract excerpt
Post-glacial recolonisation of Fennoscandia created secondary contact zones in many species, offering opportunities to study how gene flow and selection contribute to their establishment and maintenance. Here, we analyse genomic data from three boreal tree species-Picea abies, Betula pendula and Pinus sylvestris-sampled along a latitudinal gradient in Sweden. Despite differences in colonisation timing and...
