Effect of Irrigation Methods on Black Truffle Production Open
Spain is one of the main producers of black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.), a fungus of great economic importance. Black truffles are usually cultivated in Quercus ilex orchards, as water availability is one of the most important fac…
On the feasibility of estimating contemporary effective population size (Ne) for genetic conservation and monitoring of forest trees Open
Estimates of contemporary effective population size (Ne) can provide valuable information for genetic conservation and monitoring, pinpointing populations at higher risk of genetic erosion, decreased fitness, maladaptation and, ultimately,…

The status and role of genetic diversity of trees for the conservation and management of riparian ecosystems: A European experts' perspective Open
Riparian vegetation supports high biodiversity providing many services and is, therefore, an important landscape element. Riparian ecosystems are subject to numerous pressures leading to population decline and genetic erosion of riparian p…
The role of maternal age, growth, and environment in shaping offspring performance in an aerial conifer seed bank Open
Premise Maternal effects have been demonstrated to affect offspring performance in many organisms, and in plants, seeds are important mediators of these effects. Some woody plant species maintain long‐lasting canopy seed banks as an adapta…
Adaptation of Mediterranean forest species to climate: Lessons from common garden experiments Open
Mediterranean ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots located between temperate mesic climates and semi‐deserts and deserts. Mediterranean climates are characterized by a drought season but its length and severity can be highly variable acros…

Seed Sourcing Strategies Considering Climate Change Forecasts: A Practical Test in Scots Pine Open
Research Highlights: We experimentally tested different seed sourcing strategies (local, predictive, climate-predictive, climate-adjusted, composite and admixture) under a climate change high emissions scenario using a Scots pine multi-sit…

A new biological species in the Mercurialis annua polyploid complex: functional divergence in inflorescence morphology and hybrid sterility Open
Background and Aims Polyploidy has played a major role in the origin of new plant species, probably because of the expansion of polyploid populations in the species’ ecological niche, and because reproductive isolation can be established b…

Low siring success of females with an acquired male function illustrates the legacy of sexual dimorphism in constraining the breakdown of dioecy Open
Dioecy has often broken down in flowering plants, yielding functional hermaphroditism. We reasoned that evolutionary transitions from dioecy to functional hermaphroditism must overcome an inertia of sexual dimorphism, because modified male…
A ghost of dioecy past and the legacy of sexual dimorphism: low siring success of hermaphrodites after the breakdown of dioecy Open
Evolutionary transitions from dioecy to hermaphroditism must overcome the inertia of sexual dimorphism because modified males or females will express the opposite sexual function for which their phenotypes have been optimized. We tested th…
Disentangling plasticity of serotiny, a key adaptive trait in a Mediterranean conifer Open
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Serotiny, the maintenance of ripe seeds in closed fruits or cones until fire causes dehiscence, is a key adaptive trait of plants in fire‐prone ecosystems, but knowledge of phenotypic plasticity for cone retention in …
Dataset From The Am J Bot 2016 103(9) Paper: "Disentangling Plasticity Of Serotiny, A Key Adaptive Trait In A Mediterranean Conifer" Open
Raw data from the American Journal of Botany paper: "Disentangling plasticity of serotiny, a key adaptive trait in a Mediterranean conifer" Am J Bot. 2016 Sep;103(9):1582-91. doi: 10.3732/ajb.1600199
Capturing neutral and adaptive genetic diversity for conservation in a highly structured tree species Open
Preserving intraspecific genetic diversity is essential for long‐term forest sustainability in a climate change scenario. Despite that, genetic information is largely neglected in conservation planning, and how conservation units should be…
The effects of fire severity on ectomycorrhizal colonization and morphometric features in Pinus pinaster Ait. seedlings Open
Aim of the study: Mycorrhizal fungi in Mediterranean forests play a key role in the complex process of recovery after wildfires. A broader understanding of an important pyrophytic species as Pinus pinaster and its fungal symbionts is thus …
