To Ne or not to Ne? that is the question

This blog post is written with guest blogger Bruno Fady, so the pronoun used is “we”. Welcome Bruno! A few days ago, On 13 June 2023, we attended a very interesting webinar about the estimation of …

The newly funded #PhytOakmeter Research Unit will offer 10 #PhD and 3 #Postdoc positions @jobRxiv @jobsecoevo to conduct exciting research on the interaction of #oaks and their #holobiont partners (#bacteria & #mycorrhiza) in the #acclimation and #adaptation to #drought and #herbivory. PhytOakmeter is coordinated by the #University of #Marburg, collaborating with @unifreiburg @unileipzig) @ufz @WSL_research @idiv[https://www.uni-marburg.de/en/fb17/phytoakmeter] Thanks to #dfg and @SNF_ch for the generous funding!

Did ice age range shifts also involve adaptive changes?
Intuitively, yes. Here's a formal "proof":

Climate-induced range shifts drive adaptive response via spatio-temporal sieving of alleles - Nature Communications

The interplay of migration and adaptation was key in shaping species’ responses to Quaternary climate change. Illustrating this, Luqman et al. show that adaptive responses in a plant species emerged from climate-induced range shifts due to heterogenous sieving of adaptive alleles across space and time.

Our look upon the genetic control of serotiny and adaptation to fire in the Mediterranean pine, _Pinus halepensis_ (Aleppo pine). It adds to the series of works published by, e.g., @scgm2022 , @katha , et al.

@GOrizaola That's cool! I was only aware of the French Przewalski site in Massif Central - I did not know they were present in other places in Europe.
