Aspen-associated soil microbiomes reveal different strategies for nitrogen acquisition across ecosystems in Mexico and Canada

The paper examines how aspen genetic groups in Mexico and Canada influence soil microbiome nitrogen acquisition strategies across different ecosystems.

Male-biased triploidy in Populus tremuloides and genomic structure of its southern relict populations

The paper examines ploidy, clonality, and sex ratios in aspen populations, finding male bias in triploids and geographic distribution patterns.

Elucidating continental-wide phylogeographic and adaptive processes shaping the genome-wide diversity of North America's most widely distributed tree

This study uses genomic data from quaking aspen to investigate historical population dynamics and adaptive divergence across its range, identifying genomic regions associated with local adaptation.
