“…The patterns observed here for nuclear microsatellite loci seem largely consistent with those previously reported for chloroplast DNA: differentiation among Q. robur populations in northern Europe is on average higher than in central Europe (Petit et al 2002b;Vakkari et al 2006). Together with these earlier findings, our results support the theory of higher genetic differentiation among populations at species' geographic range margins (Eckert et al 2008).…”

“…Beyond geographic marginality, the comparatively high differentiation among Q. robur populations in northern Europe may to some extent be attributable to the absence of Q. petraea and consequent interspecific gene flow as well as to the extensive fragmentation of oak forests in the region (Petit et al 2002b;Vakkari et al 2006;Gugerli et al 2007). Due to their biology, phylogeography, and large range, Quercus species may be relatively resistant to fragmentation.…”

Highlights• While long-lived, widespread tree species should be resistant to genetic impoverishment, we detected high differentiation among populations and pronounced genetic structure within populations of Quercus robur in Finland.• These patterns seem indicative of population processes active at range margins, and of disequilibrium following historic habitat change. • Preservation of remaining genetic variation is thus important in the conservation of Q. robur. AbstractPopulations at species' range margins are expected to show lower genetic diversity than populations at the core of the range. Yet, long-lived, widespread tree species are expected to be resistant to genetic impoverishment, thus showing comparatively high genetic diversity within populations and low differentiation among populations. Here, we study the distribution of genetic variation in the pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) at its range margin in Finland at two hierarchical scales using 15 microsatellite loci. At a regional scale, we compared variation within versus among three oak populations. At a landscape scale, we examined genetic structuring within one of these populations, growing on an island of ca 5 km 2 . As expected, we found the majority of genetic variation in Q. robur to occur within populations. Nonetheless, differentiation among populations was markedly high (F ST = 0.12) compared with values reported for populations of Q. robur closer to the core of its range. At the landscape level, some spatial and temporal sub-structuring was observed, likely explained by the history of land-use on the island. Overall, Q. robur fulfils the expectation of the central-marginal hypothesis of high differentiation among marginal populations, but the notable population differentiation has most likely been influenced also by the long, ongoing fragmentation of populations. Finnish oak populations may still be adjusting to the drastic habitat changes of the past centuries. Preservation of genetic variation within the remaining stands is thus an important factor in the conservation of Q. robur at its range margin.

“…Moreover, there is no historic information supporting U. laevis introduction, nor its extensive use in Spain, contrary to what happens with U. minor or U. pumila (Cogolludo-Agustín et al 2000). Therefore, the Iberian Peninsula is considered to have contained some glacial refugia for U. laevis (Fuentes-Utrilla 2008, Fuentes-Utrilla et al 2014, as also shown for other European tree taxa (Petit et al 2002, Magrí et al 2006). This interpretation is also consistent with the climatic modeling of the species' distribution, which identifies parts of the Iberian Peninsula suitable for U. laevis under both the Last Glacial Maximum and present day climates (Svenning et al 2008).…”

“…Iberian native tree populations are usually genetically differentiated from central and eastern European populations, due to isolation and limited gene flow between Pleistocene discrete glacial refugia (e.g., King & Ferris 1998, Petit et al 2002, Heuertz et al 2004, Magrí et al 2006. In contrast, introduced populations normally show lower genetic diversity than the populations from which they originate, and lack private alleles (Stone & Sunnucks 1993).…”

“…Optimisation of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) allows extraction and amplification of short and degraded DNA sequences from modern and ancient oak wood [16]. In the case of Q. robur and Q. petraea detailed reference maps of chloroplast variants exist for Europe [11,25], and could help to determine the geographical origin of the oak wood. Notwithstanding the new developments, routine implementation of these new techniques to analyse the degraded DNA remains in old, dry wood has yet to be established.…”

During the Middle Ages northern Belgium and The Netherlands were gradually deforested. A steadily rising demand for quality timber obliged merchants to look for new timber sources. From the 13th century onwards, large volumes of timber were imported from surrounding regions and, despite the remote supply area, merchants of the Hanseatic League managed to organize a huge timber trade from towns around the Baltic Sea.Trees from forests along the Vistula River seem to have been exported via Gdansk, first to Bruges and later to Antwerp. At their final destination the imported wood assortments were highly appreciated for shipbuilding and construction purposes, but also by woodcarvers and famous painters.Over the last decade dendrochronologists have established a dense network of historical site chronologies for northern and central Poland. These site chronologies are supposed to reflect local growth conditions and may allow the identification of the provenance of the wood of many art historical objects made out of Baltic timber.Tree-ring patterns of panel paintings and sculptures, mainly from the 14th-16th centuries, were measured and compared to this data set of site chronologies. An evaluation of the accuracy of sourcing medieval Baltic timbers using standard correlation techniques was made. The identification of provenance enriches historical information on logging activity and timber trade around the Baltic Sea during the Middle Ages.
