Effects of Geological and Environmental Events on the Diversity and Genetic Divergence of Four Closely Related Pines: Pinus koraiensis, P. armandii, P. griffithii, and P. pumila

The effects of mountain uplift and environmental oscillations on nucleotide variability and species divergence remain largely unknown in East Asia. In this study, based on multiple nuclear DNA markers, we investigated the levels and patterns of nucleotide diversity and interspecific divergence in fo...
