🧬🌲 Our new review on Brown Spot Needle Blight is out!
We synthesize what’s known about BSNB, from biology and diagnostics to outbreaks, management, and future risks to pine forests, with emphasis in North America.

Biology, Detection, and Management of Lecanosticta acicola: Emerging Challenges for the Management of Brown Spot Needle Blight in Pine Forests
Brown spot needle blight (BSNB), caused by the fungus Lecanosticta acicola, is a widely distributed foliar disease of pines that causes needle necrosis, premature defoliation, and growth loss in both...

Glad to have been part of this work and to see it out! @AU_WildConGen
Using simulated and empirical data, we investigated how factors like tools, sequencing depth and demographic history can influence ROH detection. 🧬

Detectability of runs of homozygosity is influenced by analysis parameters and population-specific demographic history
Author summary In this study, we explored how various factors affect the accuracy of detecting runs of homozygosity (ROHs). ROHs are long sections of the genome where both inherited DNA strands are id...
