Understanding adaptive genetic variation and whether it can keep pace with predicted future climate change is critical in assessing the vulnerability of species developing conservation management strategies. The lack information on relict carrying abundant resources hinders assessment vulnerability. Using a landscape genomics approach, this study aimed to determine how shapes population divergence predict potential Pterocarya macroptera (a vulnerable China) under scenarios.We applied...
Soil cadmium (Cd) pollution is a serious ecological problem worldwide. Understanding Cd-detoxification mechanisms in woody plants will help to evaluate their tolerance ability and phytoremediation potential Cd-polluted soils. This study investigated the growth, physiochemistry, Cd distribution, transcriptome sequencing of male female poplars under three levels (0, 50, 100 mg·kg
ABSTRACT Climate change is widely recognized as a major threat to biodiversity and critical factor contributing the decline in species populations. However, it remains uncertain whether from continental island environments, especially endangered ones, will respond similarly or differently climate change. The strategies employed by these cope with change, corresponding conservation management approaches, remain poorly understood. In this study, we ecological niche models project future shifts...
Abstract Aim To establish a complete database of Juglandaceae at spatiotemporal scale and develop phylogeographic framework with which to elucidate the distributional patterns, diversity origins, evolution, conservation priority regions this family. Location Worldwide. Taxon Walnut family (Juglandaceae). Methods Data on distribution all extant fossil species were collected, followed by analyses its latitudinal distribution, elevational generic diversity. Furthermore, based genera 87%...
The Anthropocene proposal suggested that the Earth may have entered a new geological epoch, in which human activity and climate change are influencing environment at global scale. Arrival of is bringing an unprecedented challenge to biodiversity essential humans, enhancing many benefits nature being. However, loss aggravating rhythm inevitable Anthropocene, adaptation anthropogenic disturbance seems unable keep pace with change. Therefore, re-examination assumptions practices upon current...
Leaf epidermal features are important taxonomic in Quercus. We studied leaf of 91 species and one forma Quercus subgenus Cyclobalanopsis using light scanning electron microscopy. Trichome terminology oaks was assessed clarified, aiming to score the accurately for genus-wide comparison. Nine trichome types, anomocytic cyclocytic stomatal apparatus, smooth layer platelet epicuticular wax flakes, two base types were found Cyclobalanopsis. The revealed three main groups s.l. uniform, supporting...
The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is one of the most extensive and important biodiversity patterns on Earth. Various studies have established that species increases with higher taxa numbers from polar to tropics. Studies multicellular biotas supported LDG land (e.g., plants, animals, forests, wetlands, grasslands, fungi, so forth) oceans marine organisms freshwater invertebrates, continental shelve, open ocean, even deep sea invertebrates). So far, there are several hypotheses...
Quercus litseoides, an endangered montane cloud forest species, is endemic to southern China. To understand the genomic features, phylogenetic relationships, and molecular evolution of Q. complete chloroplast (cp) genome was analyzed compared in section Cyclobalanopsis. The cp litseoides 160,782 bp length, with overall guanine cytosine (GC) content 36.9%. It contained 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding eight ribosomal RNA 37 transfer genes. A total 165 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) 48...
Natural introgression can cause negative effects where rare species experience genetic assimilation and invade by their abundant congeners. Quercus austrocochinchinensis Q. kerrii (subgenus Cyclobalanopsis) are a pair of closely related in the Indo-China area. Morphological intermediates two have been reported this region. In study, we used AFLP, SSR key leaf morphological diagnostic traits to study populations, pure putative hybrid populations China. Rates individual admixture were examined...
Abstract Pterocarya fraxinifolia , native to the southern Caucasus and adjacent areas, has been widely introduced in Europe. In this study, we investigate following: (1) How did its current distribution form? (2) What are past, current, future suitable habitats of P. ? (3) is best conservation approach? Ecological niche modeling was applied determine climatic demands project climatically areas during three periods (2070) time. Then, an integrated analysis fossil data performed. Massive...
Relict species play an important role in understanding the biogeography of intercontinental disjunctions. Pterocarya (a relict genus) is valuable model taxon for studying East Asian versus southern European/West disjunct patterns. This disjunction has not been as well studied others (e.g., between Eastern Asia and North America). Several phylogenetic studies on have conducted, but none provided a satisfactory resolution. Here, we report first well-resolved phylogeny using restriction...
The elm family (Ulmaceae) is a woody plant group with important scientific, societal, and economic value. We aim to present the first biogeographic synthesis investigating global diversity, distribution, ecological preferences, conservation status of Ulmaceae. A literature review was performed explore available data for all extant species. Our study made it possible map actual distribution Ulmaceae high precision, elucidate centers located mainly in China southeastern USA. detailed...
Abstract Subtropical evergreen broad‐leaved forest (EBLF) is the predominant vegetation type in eastern China. However, majority of region it covers China was an arid area during Paleogene. The temporal history and essential factors involved evolution subtropical EBLFs remain enigmatic. Here we report on niche Quercus section Cyclobalanopsis , which appeared south Japan Eocene became a dominant component since Miocene Asia, using integrative analysis occurrences, climate data dated phylogeny...
Quercus is a valuable genus ecologically, economically, and culturally. They are keystone species in many ecosystems. Species delimitation phylogenetic studies of this difficult owing to frequent hybridization. With an increasing number genetic resources, we will gain deeper understanding genus. In the present study, collected four section Cyclobalanopsis (Q. poilanei, Q. helferiana, camusiae, semiserrata) distributed Southeast Asia sequenced their complete genomes. Following analysis,...
Environmental factors such as mountain tectonic movements and monsoons can enhance genetic differentiation by hindering inter- intraspecific gene flow. However, the phylogeographic breaks detected within species may differ depending on different molecular markers used, biological traits be a major confounding factor. <italic>Pterocarya hupehensis</italic> is vulnerable relict distributed throughout Sichuan Basin. Here, we investigated patterns evolutionary history of <italic>P. using...
