Forest restoration and afforestation across Europe are accelerating, yet the decision-making processes governing forest establishment remain unevenly examined, especially from a biodiversity perspecti...

European white oaks grow from the Mediterranean coast to Southern Scandinavia, a huge environmental gradient that has likely fostered environmental adaptation. In the face of climate change, leveragin...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.

Bruno Fady and Carine Dublineau (INRAE URFM, Avignon) describe their adventures in planting seedlings for a provenance test in southern France's Maures Mountains.

Anthropogenic habitat fragmentation can severely disrupt gene flow in endemic plants that depend on species-specific native pollinators with limited dispersal ability. Using paternity analysis across...

Let's eradicate pseudoreplication - a rant! :)

Rear-edge populations occur at species’ warmer range limits, with many still occupying glacial refugia. They offer insights into evolution under changing climates, yet they are underused as models. We...

Molecular Ecology is an international journal for research using molecular genetic techniques to address questions in ecology, evolution, behavior and conservation.

In almost all European forests, land use history is deeply embedded with a variety of effects on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Forest biodiv…

Nei due diversi versanti dell’Appennino settentrionale, all’interno dei vivai di Camporgiano (LU) e Ponte Scodogna (PR), oltre 20.000 piantine di abete bianco e abete rosso sono in “attesa di trasferi...

Fresh in Evolutionary Applications! 🌲 Genomic Signatures of Climate-Driven (Mal)Adaptation — reveals how the English yew’s genome reflects both adaptation and vulnerability to changing climates. 🐸 Different Strokes for Different Croaks — uses an African reed frog complex to uncover how population-specific needs shape conservation outcomes. 🐒 Effective Population Size in Western Chimpanzees — tackles spatial and temporal variation in a critically endangered species to refine conservation strategies.

Genetic diversity is a critical but often overlooked component of biological diversity. The European H2020 FORGENIUS project is precisely aimed at increasing the quality and quantity of genetic data t...

PRESS RELEASE - An international network of 30 scientists, coordinated by INRAE and the European Forest Institute (EFI) and involving Aix-Marseille Université, the University of Montpellier, the Frenc...

About the Opportunity Job Summary A postdoctoral research associate is available at the Lotterhos Lab at Northeastern University. The postdoc will be based at Northeastern University’s Marine Science ...

Climate change increasingly drives local population dynamics, shifts geographic distributions, and threatens persistence. Gene flow and rapid adaptation could rescue declining populations yet are seld...

Dr Santi González-Martínez, OptFORESTS coordinator, will speak at ESEB 2025. The symposium on evolutionary genomics invites abstract submissions until 25 April 2025.
