Population genetic analysis reveals three differentiated regional lineages in subalpine larch, highlighting the need for geographically targeted conservation priorities.

Key Points

Regional genetic differentiation separates subalpine larch into three distinct geographic groups across the Cascade Range and Rocky Mountains.
Analyses of 751 neutral single nucleotide polymorphisms confirmed significant divergence and isolation by distance across mountain regions.
Population genetic analyses using restriction site associated DNA sequencing delineated lineages that dispersed from a Pleistocene refugium.
Highlights three distinct geographic regions that require prioritized conservation management under rapid high-elevation climate change.
