Abstract Aim Mediterranean refugial areas are generally underrepresented in large‐scale genetic surveys of forest trees. In the case silver fir ( Abies alba Mill.), this has led to divergent hypotheses about exact location glacial refugia and trajectory recolonization routes. Based on comprehensive sampling Apennine populations, we aimed reconcile discrepancies number for Apennines test alternative demographic scenarios developed from palaeobotanical data. Location Basin; surrounding areas....

Unveiling the genetic basis of local adaptation to environmental variation is a major goal in molecular ecology. In rugged landscapes characterized by mosaics, living populations and communities can experience steep ecological gradients over very short geographical distances. lowland tropical forests, interspecific divergence edaphic specialization (for seasonally flooded bottomlands dry terra firme soils) has been proven studies on adaptive traits. Some species are nevertheless capable...

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 selection (HBM) that explicitly considers both the replication environmental contrast structure among study sites introduced. power was assessed...

Abstract Plant populations can undergo very localized adaptation, allowing widely distributed to adapt divergent habitats in spite of recurrent gene flow. Neotropical trees—whose large and undisturbed often span a variety environmental conditions local habitats—are particularly good models study this process. Here, we explore patterns adaptive divergence from (i.e., regional) small microgeographic) spatial scales the hyperdominant Amazonian tree Eperua falcata Aubl. (Fabaceae) under...

In habitat mosaics, plant populations face environmental heterogeneity over short geographical distances. Such steep gradients can induce ecological divergence. Lowland rainforests of the Guiana Shield are characterized by sharp, short-distance variations related to topography and soil characteristics (from waterlogged bottomlands on hydromorphic soils well-drained terra firme ferralitic soils). Continuous distributed along such an interesting system study intrapopulation divergence at...

In wild plant populations, genetic divergence within continuous stands is common, sometimes at very short geographical scales. While restrictions to gene flow combined with local inbreeding and drift may cause neutral differentiation among subpopulations, microgeographical variations in environmental conditions can drive adaptive through natural selection some targeted loci. Such phenomena have recurrently been observed populations occurring across sharp boundaries, but the interplay between...

The Amazonian rainforest is predicted to suffer from ongoing environmental changes. Despite the need evaluate impact of such changes on tree genetic diversity, we almost entirely lack genomic resources. In this study, analysed transcriptome four tropical species (Carapa guianensis, Eperua falcata, Symphonia globulifera and Virola michelii) with contrasting ecological features, belonging widespread botanical families (respectively Meliaceae, Fabaceae, Clusiaceae Myristicaceae). We sequenced...

Abstract Trees are characterized by the large number of seeds they produce. Although most those will never germinate, plenty will. Of which many die young, and eventually, only a minute fraction grow to adult stage reproduce. Is this just random process? Do variations in germination survival at very young stages rely on adaptations microgeographic heterogeneity? do these processes matter all determining tree species distribution abundance? We have studied questions with Neotropical Symphonia...

The tropical rainforest of Amazonia is one the most species-rich ecosystems on earth, with an estimated 16000 tree species. Due to this high diversity, botanical identification trees in Amazon difficult, even genus, often requiring assistance parataxonomists or taxonomic specialists. Advances informatics tools offer a promising opportunity develop user-friendly electronic keys improve Amazonian identification. Here, we introduce original multi-access key for 389 genera occurring French...

Abstract Microevolution in Amazonia has been far less documented than temperate regions and still constitutes a major knowledge gap. Moreover, the actual influence of pre-Columbian societies through Holocene remains unclear, although it could provide interesting insights on relationship between natural human-mediated evolutionary processes driving microevolution. Because they are widespread traditionally managed since times, Neotropical palms choice models to investigate drivers...
