Post-glacial biogeography of trembling aspen inferred from habitat models and genetic variance in quantitative traits

Abstract Using species distribution models and information on genetic structure and within-population variance observed in a series of common garden trials, we reconstructed a historical biogeography of trembling aspen in North America. We used an ensemble classifier modelling approach (RandomForest...
