title: Demographic History of Scots Pine in the Pleistocene in Northern Eurasia and the Caucasus Region Based on an Analysis of Nuclear Microsatellite Loci
abstract: Using nine nuclear microsatellite loci (nSSR), the structure of genetic variability of Scots pine in the Black Sea–Caucasus region, Eastern Europe, the Urals, Siberia, and the Russian Far East has been studied and the demographic history of these population groups has been investigated using approximate Bayesian computations (ABC) analysis. A significant differentiation between the populations of the Eastern Black Sea Region (EBSR) and the main areal is confirmed, while the time of divergence be
