Chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of Ulmus minor reveal dynamic intrageneric clusters of resistance genes. [PDF]
Abstract The field elm (Ulmus minor) is an emblematic species of the European landscape, which has been severely affected by Dutch elm disease (DED) since the 20th century. To support restoration and conservation of this species and congeners, we present a de novo assembly and annotation of a wild genotype tested positive for DED resistance, along with

Beech Leaf Disease Associated With Changes in Litter Decomposition and Fungal Communities. [PDF]
Less than 15 years ago beech leaf disease was identified as a newly emerging forest pest. There is still little known about the larger ecosystem impact. Our study is at the forefront of understanding how this newly emerging disease is impacting leaf litter decomposition and fungal communities in highly infested areas. ABSTRACT Forest pests and diseases

Genomic investigations of successful invasions: the picture emerging from recent studies. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Invasion biology aims to identify traits and mechanisms that contribute to successful invasions, while also providing general insights into the mechanisms underlying population expansion and adaptation to rapid climate and habitat changes. Certain phenotypic attributes have been linked to successful invasions, and the role of genetics has been
