WOOD ANATOMY AND TRAIT-BASED ECOLOGY (2016, background): “Only a minor fraction of the produced seeds grow up to adult trees (Petit & Hampe 2006).”
Many ways to die – partitioning tree mortality dynamics in a near‐natural mixed deciduous forest (2013, background): “It is debated whether trees lose vitality with age (Franklin, Shugart & Harmon 1987; Watkinson 1992; Lanner 2002; reviews: Petit & Hampe 2006; Kutsch et al. 2009).”
MODELING STABILIZING SELECTION: EXPANDING THE ORNSTEIN–UHLENBECK MODEL OF ADAPTIVE EVOLUTION (2012, background): “On the other hand, angiosperm trees are reported to have large effective population sizes (Petit and Hampe 2006), which would make selection more efficient at removing 2 3 7 4 EVOLUTION AUGUST 2012 deleterious mutations and excess DNA (Lynch 2007).”
Translating conservation genetics into management: Pan-European minimum requirements for dynamic conservation units of forest tree genetic diversity (2013, background): “the time from seed to seed (Petit and Hampe, 2006), is 464”
Late Neogene history of the laurel tree (Laurus L., Lauraceae) based on phylogeographical analyses of Mediterranean and Macaronesian populations (2009, neutral): “Reliable explanations for this low cpDNA variation include low mutation rates and long generation times, the demographic stability of most populations, or their relatively high gene flow (Petit et al., 2005; Petit & Hampe, 2006; Smith & Donoghue, 2008).”
Ecological and evolutionary responses of Mediterranean plants to global change. (2014, neutral): “Mediterranean species, particularly long-lived ones, are believed to harbor large amounts of genetic variation due to survival in glacial refugia and high gene flow among populations (Petit and Hampe, 2006; Aitken et al., 2008; Robledo-Arnuncio, 2011).”
Spatial Scales of Pollen and Seed-Mediated Gene Flow in Tropical Rain Forest Trees (2008, background): “Inbreeding depression is particularly strong in trees ([99] and references therein).”
The role of forest genetic resources in responding to biotic and abiotic factors in the context of anthropogenic climate change (2014, background): “Many forest trees, for example, have high genetic diversity in important adaptive traits, such as tallness, longevity and defense mechanisms (Petit and Hampe, 2006).”
Inferring the past from the present phylogeographic structure of North American forest trees : seeing the forest for the genes (2009, background): “Forest trees are useful models to study the impacts of historical events due to their generally large population sizes, long generation times, high investment in reproduction, and high phenotypic plasticity, which allow them to survive drastic environmental changes and to preserve the genetic imprin”
Climate Relicts: Past, Present, Future (2011, background): “Because these species grow more or less continuously throughout their life, a longer life implies a greater size and fecundity, which allows individuals to maximize their reproductive output during the rare opportunities for successful recruitment (Petit & Hampe 2006).”
Advances in flowering phenology across the Northern Hemisphere are explained by functional traits (2018, background): “Once established, they are resistant against disturbances on the ground and are more competitive for light and water (deep roots) (Petit & Hampe, 2006) than herbs and grasses.”
Mix and match: regional admixture provenancing strikes a balance among different seed-sourcing strategies for ecological restoration (2018, neutral): “Further, most tree have populations with high withinpopulation genetic diversity and they produce a lot of seeds of which many germinate, but only few reach canopy height (Petit and Hampe 2006).”
Extreme drought alters competitive dominance within and between tree species in a mixed forest stand (2013, background): “This is particu- larly true for forests, where the longevity of individual trees means that establishment may have taken place under climate conditions which now occur rarely, or have even ceased to exist at that location (Petit & Hampe 2006).”
Will a 385 million year‐struggle for light become a struggle for water and for carbon? – How trees may cope with more frequent climate change‐type drought events (2011, background): “Trees are unique in that they maintain high levels of genetic diversity and have a large juvenile population sizes that allows strong and variable selection with great potentials for local adaptations (Petit & Hampe, 2006).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, positive): “The transcript abundance was normalized against peanut Ubiquitin (Luo et al. , 2005) transcript levels.”
