The valid deciduous Quercus L. species from North Africa have been largely discussed by many authors. The current species remain yet uncertain. In this study, we compare several populations of presumably Q. canariensis Willd. and Q. faginea Lam. from Algeria with pure populations of these species from the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula. Differe...
Presentation
The study of natural history, combined with the study of the environmental drivers that explains actual and past species distributions significantly enhanced our understanding of the evolution of Quercus forests in the Iberian Peninsula. A full Herbaria review provided insight into the distribution and diversity of Iberian Oaks and their hybrids, r...
Presentation
The Iberian Peninsula is a wide known hotspot and refugia for the Eurasian white oak species. In classic literature, this group of oaks are traditionally assumed to form common hybrid swarms, and their resulting nothotaxa have suffered of nomenclatural uncertainty. This comes from natural history artifacts and the unknown validation of putative par...
Article
The genus Quercus is widely known for its ability to hybridize among sympatric species, especially inside the same Section. The Iberian Peninsula is a major phylogeographic hotspot for oak diversity, with almost all possible combinations of hybrids already described inside sect. Quercus. In this work we present the remaining hybrid not yet describ...
