Last week was a blast! Attending the @evoltree.bsky.social - @forgenius-eu.bsky.social conference hosted by INIA CSIC on "Integrative Diversity of Forest Ecosystems" was unforgettable.

Today's field trip: selecting continental site for @optforests.bsky.social project in cooperation with local forest managers and representatives of Slovenian state forests. Found a great candidate in the Kočevsko region.

This week was one of my favourite conferences #evoltree in Madrid. I was happy to chat with a lot of people about our work and to present our beech pangenome. As always I heard and learned from a lot of great speakers. Thanks @evoltree.bsky.social 💚

Final words from Delphine and Beppe, and the Joint EVOLTREE-FORGENIUS Conference is closed. It was great fun to discuss science with all you! Enjoy your weekend! And don't miss the next #EVOLTREE Conference in 2027 (venue to be announced soon)!

Amazing field trip with the #EvolTREE conference. Wonderful to learn of the new breeding efforts in Cork oak and Holm oak, integrations of new technologies, and degree of monitoring for conservation that has leveraged, expanded, and established leadership in genetic conservation

Marija Kravanja, one of the PhD students supported by an #EVOLTREE grant to attend the conference, presented an original study using FORGENIUS data on the correlation between genetic diversity and resilience, as estimated by restoration rates obtained from satellite data.

Visit to one of the Spanish National Breeding Centres. Spain has 327 Genetic Conservation Units (GCUs) involving 20 main tree species, 228 of which have been genetically characterised! #EVOLTREE

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.

So happy to be with European colleagues in Madrid for #EvolTREE to share new ideas, technologies, and applications of forest genetics to conservation, restoration, breeding, and much, much more

Christian Rellstab (WSL, Switzerland) presented how hybridisation and admixture enhance drought tolerance in oaks. This work was supported by an #EVOLTREE Opportunity grant, a program that provides niche funding for research in forest genetics and genomics. www.evoltree.eu/funding-init...
