IOS Webinar #11: Introgression and genetic variation at the trailing edge of Quercus bicolor, and the Oaks of Korea

The IOS is pleased to announce our next virtual event, again co-hosted with the Global Conservation Consortium for Oak (GCCO), which will take place over Zoom at 9 am US Central Time on February 25, 2026. 

In this webinar we will first hear from Jesse Parker, Research Specialist at the School of Natural Resources, University of Tennessee, who will present on his master's research investigating hybridization and population genetics in trailing range edge populations of swamp white oak (Quercus bicolor), recently published under the title "Evaluating the Central–Marginal Hypothesis: Introgression and Genetic Variation at the Trailing Edge of Quercus bicolor".
 

During the second part of the webinar, Dr. Yong-Shik Kim, Professor Emeritus, Department of Landscape Architecture, Yeungnam University, Republic of Korea, will share an overview of oak species in Korea. Following the presentations there will be Q&A.

IOS members can register for the event here (please register with the email address linked to your IOS membership).

Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link and an invite you can add to your calendar. 

The event is limited to IOS members only (non-members can easily join the IOS in order to participate).
