The genusQuercuscontains two subgenera with distinct geographic and habitat ranges. Generally, subgenusQuercushas the wider habitat range spanning subtropical to temperate regions across the Northern Hemisphere, whereas subgenusCyclobalanopsismainly occurs in subtropical and tropical Asia. Particularly for subgenusCyclobalanopsis, germination patterns and behaviour, and how they relate to climate are unknown. In this study we investigated the germination responses of 6 species from subgenusCyclobalanopsisand 9 species from subgenusQuercusto different temperatures and tested for associations between germination requirements and habitat range. Species from subgenusCyclobalanopsisfrom subtropical and tropical habitats (average overwinter monthly temperature ≥ 8 °C) germinated poorly at 15 °C and reached high germination percentages at 25 °C. Irrespective of the taxa, species living in a wide habitat range (average overwinter temperature range − 8 to 23 °C) reached high germination percentages at 15–25 °C. Across all the species, time to 50% germination was not related to fruit traits but was significantly associated with phylogeny: subgenusCyclobalanopsisfruits germinated more slowly than those of subgenusQuercusat all temperatures tested. Across species, sensitivity to lower germination temperatures was correlated with the highest temperature in their habitat after fruit dispersal. This study demonstrates a link between germination requirements and divergent distribution patterns between the two subgenera.
