Abstract
Red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.), a climate-sensitive coniferous tree with a distribution along the eastern coast of North America, is known to hybridize with its sister species, black spruce (Picea mariana). Introgression, the transfer of genetic material between species through hybridization, can significantly influence the patterns of local adaptation in forest trees. Introgression can act as a type of “genetic rescue” by introducing adaptive genetic variance for selection to act upon. We aim to unravel the possible contribution of introgression on local adaptation in red spruce by utilizing large-scale genomic data and phenotypic traits.
