Santiago González-Martínez from @inrae-france.bsky.social, our own #EVOLTREE coordinator, gave a talk on the connections between genetic diversity, historical demography, and rates of adaptive evolution in 4 species of conifers. He also cautioned on the applicability of genomic forecasting methods.
