A Disjunctive Marginal Edge of Evergreen Broad-Leaved Oak (<i>Quercus gilva</i>) in East Asia: The High Genetic Distinctiveness and Unusual Diversity of Jeju Island Populations and Insight into a Massive, Independent Postglacial Colonization

A Disjunctive Marginal Edge of Evergreen Broad-Leaved Oak (<i>Quercus gilva</i>) in East Asia: The High Genetic Distinctiveness and Unusual Diversity of Jeju Island Populations and Insight into a Massive, Independent Postglacial Colonization

Jeju Island is located at a marginal edge of the distributional range of East Asian evergreen broad-leaved forests. The low genetic diversity of such edge populations is predicted to have resulted from genetic drift and reduced gene flow when compared to core populations. To test this hypothesis, we...
