The evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) of Southwest China have a long-term stable environment and support a diverse flora, thus forming a global biodiversity hotspot. However, the key drivers that have shaped the genetic diversity patterns of species in these EBLFs are not well understood.Quercus delavayi,Q. schottkyana, andQ. kerriiare sympatric oak species with different seed biological traits that are typical for these EBLFs. This study combined multilocus phylogeography and ecological niche modeling to screen 33Q. delavayipopulations. Their population genetic structure was inferred in comparison with previous studies onQ. schottkyanaandQ. kerrii. The seed germination traits of all three species were also investigated. cpDNAs showed a significant phylogeographic structure inQ. delavayi, which was not detected inQ. schottkyanaorQ. kerrii.Quercus delavayi,Q. kerrii, andQ. schottkyanaexhibited different pollen-to-seed migration ratios (r= 219, 117, and 22, respectively), which are linked to the germination schedules of acorns. The distributions ofQ. delavayiandQ. schottkyanaremained long-term stable since the last glacial maximum (LGM) with a similar nSSR genetic gradient change along latitude. Instead,Q. kerriiexperienced a prominent range expansion since the LGM with genetic diversification between the East and the West of the Tanaka line due to environmental heterogeneity. These results identify seed traits and environmental heterogeneity as two key drivers that shape the population genetic structure of EBLF trees in Southwest China. These should be considered in regional forestry conservation and management.
