Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Edinburgh Research Station, Bush Estate, Scotland, UK
Bull Entomol Res 95:517-26. 2005..Indeed, lodgepole stands appear to have been colonized on multiple occasions from Scots pine sources and neighbouring populations on different hosts are close to panmixia...

Centre for Ecology and Hydrology Edinburgh, Bush Estate, Penicuik, Midlothian EH26 0QB, Scotland, UK
Heredity (Edinb) 95:281-9. 2005..However, greater sample sizes will be required in cases where SGS is weaker than for our simulated population, for example, in species with effective pollen/seed dispersal mechanisms...
