Postglacial genetic legacies and climate-driven demography inform conservation of silver fir
We present a timely and broadly applicable framework for delineating the phylogeographic lineages of silver fir, leveraging the high resolution provided by SNP markers to identify major genetic discontinuities, contact zones, and refugial areas. Inferences of past demographic dynamics indicate that certain rear-edge populations warrant priority in conservation strategies.
