Genomic evidence uncovers inbreeding and supports translocations in rescuing the genetic diversity of a landlocked seal population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-01-07)Fragmentation of isolated populations increases the risk of inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity. The endemic Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa hispida saimensis) is one of the most endangered pinnipeds in the world with a ... -
Genomic signatures and insights into host niche adaptation of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium humberi
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02)The genus Metarhizium is composed of species used in biological control programs of agricultural pests worldwide. This genus includes common fungal pathogen of many insects and mites and endophytes that can increase plant ... -
Genomic Signatures of Local Adaptation under High Gene Flow in Lumpfish—Implications for Broodstock Provenance Sourcing and Larval Production
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-09-26)Aquaculture of the lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) has become a large, lucrative industry owing to the escalating demand for “cleaner fish” to minimise sea lice infestations in Atlantic salmon mariculture farms. We used ... -
The GenTree Dendroecological Collection, tree-ring and wood density data from seven tree species across Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-01-02)The dataset presented here was collected by the GenTree project (EU-Horizon 2020), which aims to improve the use of forest genetic resources across Europe by better understanding how trees adapt to their local environment. ... -
The GenTree Leaf Collection: Inter- and intraspecific leaf variation in seven forest tree species in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-01-06)Motivation Trait variation within species can reveal plastic and/or genetic responses to environmental gradients, and may indicate where local adaptation has occurred. Here, we present a dataset of rangewide variation in ... -
The GenTree Platform: Growth traits and tree-level environmental data in 12 European forest tree species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-03-18)Background Progress in the field of evolutionary forest ecology has been hampered by the huge challenge of phenotyping trees across their ranges in their natural environments, and the limitation in high-resolution environmental ... -
Germination and seedling establishment of Norway spruce (Picea abies) after clear-cutting is affected by timing of soil scarification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-25)Natural regeneration of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) is a relatively common practice in Norway on medium to low site indices. However, seedling establishment is often hampered by rapid regrowth of competing ... -
Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Walp Applications for Enhancing Soil Fertility and Crop Nutritional Qualities: A Review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-03-21)Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Walp is a well-known agroforestry leguminous tree that provides multiple benefits in different agroecological zones. Its apparent versatility is seen in improving animal feed, cleaningenvironmental ... -
Global geographic distribution and host range of Fusarium circinatum, the causal agent of pine pitch canker
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-07-01)Fusarium circinatum, the causal agent of pine pitch canker (PPC), is currently one of the most important threats of Pinus spp. globally. This pathogen is known in many pine-growing regions, including natural and planted ... -
Global Habitat Suitability of Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae): Key Parasitoids Considered for Its Biological Control
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-03-24)Simple Summary: The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda has now become a pest of global importance. Its introduction and detection in Africa in 2016, and subsequent introduction and spread into Asia and Australia, ... -
Global meta-analysis of soil hydraulic properties on the same soils with differing land use
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-09-05)Global land use change has resulted in more pasture and cropland, largely at the expense of woodlands, over the last 300 years. How this change affects soil hydraulic function with regard to feedbacks to the hydrological ... -
Global transcriptome changes in perennial ryegrass during early infection by pink snow mould
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Lack of resistance to pink snow mould (Microdochium nivale) is a major constraint for adaptation of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) to continental regions with long-lasting snow cover at higher latitudes. Almost all ... -
A global view of aspen: Conservation science for widespread keystone systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-10-31)Across the northern hemisphere, six species of aspen (Populus spp.) play a disproportionately important role in promoting biodiversity, sequestering carbon, limiting forest disturbances, and providing other ecosystem ... -
The global water resources and use model WaterGAP v2.2d: model description and evaluation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02-23)WaterGAP is a global hydrological model that quantifies human use of groundwater and surface water as well as water flows and water storage and thus water resources on all land areas of the Earth. Since 1996, it has served ... -
