Leaf morphological and genetic variation between Quercus rubra and Quercus ellipsoidalis: comparison of sympatric and parapatric populations

Species boundaries in oaks are often not clear-cut, which is potentially a result of interspecific hybridization with trait introgression and phenotypic plasticity. Quercus rubra L. and Quercus ellipsoidalis E.J. Hill are two interfertile partially sympatric red oak species (section Lobatae) with di...
