e0“Our study suggests that gene flow between eastern North American white oak species may not be as rampant as previously assumed and that hybridization is most strongly predicted by proximity to a species' range margin.”

- Observation White oak species remained coherent despite introgression and hybridization.
- Association Q. macrocarpa genetic structure was associated with latitude.
- Association Proximity to the range edge predicted interspecific admixture.
- Association Genetic differentiation did not appear to vary across putative functional gene classes.
