exciting times ahead. the permanent exhibition "breaking the code" about genetic research at @wslresearch.bsky.social is opening soon!

with apprentices from ETH, we developed a computer game to assign white oak species (and their hybrids) based on leaf morphology and genetic markers.

stay tuned!

I'm hiring! Postdoc available in my lab in Ecological Genomics. northeastern.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/careers/job/... I will start reviewing applications mid-July. 🧪🧑‍🔬🖥️🧬🦑. Please share widely, thanks!

🌲High fragmentation determines a strong genetic structure at regional scale
🌲Dendrogenetic research could improve management and conservation planning of threatened forest resources

🌲Summer droughts can limit #yew growth in the Mediterranean basin
🌲No significant difference in radial growth between male and female trees
🌲Yew populations at rainiest sites may be more affected by global warming

New #dendrogenetic research just published in #Dendrochronologia!

Effects of climate on leaf phenolics, insect herbivory, and their relationship in pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) across its geographic range in Europe - Oecologia An increase in biotic interactions towards lower latitudes is one of the most consistent patterns in ecology. Higher temperatures and more stable climatic conditions at low latitudes are thought to en...
