Resequencing hundreds or thousands of individuals from the same species has become routine... but processing all those genomes efficiently? Still a headache! Here's my solution that used to be lab-internal but that I am happy to share: crolllab.github.io/genomepanel_...

So happy to see the 2nd chapter of my PhD out! doi.org/10.1093/evol... Here, we studied populations sampled from their local elevational edges and centers on mountain slopes, and characterised the variation in G-matrices (comprised of growth and leaf investment traits) among these populations. 1/5

Variation in the genetic architecture of ecologically relevant traits along elevational gradients
Abstract. Species are confined within spatial boundaries, which may be determined by various factors. An understudied one is the genetic non-independence o

Tracking the evolutionary trajectory of a young hybrid plant pathogen. New preprint on how triticale powdery mildew evolved in the ~25 years since its emergence. Congrats to @jigisha1.bsky.social and all coauthors! doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Tracking the evolutionary trajectory of a young hybrid plant pathogen
A common mechanism by which emerging plant pathogens gain the ability to infect new hosts is hybridization. Despite its widespread occurrence, the outcomes of hybridization remain largely unpredictabl...

A bit late, but really happy to see my first PhD paper out! We studied trait-elevation relationships in multiple traits spanning growth, size (both above and belowground) and leaf economics to understand whether these align at within- and among-species scales. academic.oup.com/evlett/advan...

Alignment across taxonomic levels in strategies rather than in traits along elevational gradients
Abstract. Trait variation along environmental gradients can indicate the different strategies that organisms have evolved in response to environmental hete

Genomic Surveillance and Molecular Evolution of Fungicide Resistance in European Populations of Wheat Powdery Mildew
Mutations conferring fungicide resistance to wheat powdery mildew emerged multiple times and are characterised by distinct geographic ranges in Europe and neighbouring regions.
