Great to be involved with this work- we show that the eight-toothed spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) can identify and colonize both Sitka and Norway spruce trees, providing insights for the management of the forest pest. Rothamsted Research Forest Research ow.ly/thvW50UXH6h

Really excited to say that my lab's paper on color transitions in Mimulus sect. Erythranthe is out! We found that some traits demonstrate evolutionary convergence in phenotype & genotype, while others are divergent, & that this matters for bee choice! nature.com/articles/s4146…

🚨 New preprint! We've developed a bioassay-guided genome mining approach to identify bacterial secondary metabolites that inhibit Zymoseptoria tritici — a major fungal pathogen of wheat. Available now on bioRxiv: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Just out in Science Magazine: we demonstrate a micro-evolutionary shift in a single generation, involving thousands of genomic loci, giving younger ash trees more resistance to ash dieback, on average, than their parents science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

BIG NEWS! We’ve found that ash trees are fighting back against ash dieback disease! 🌳💪 Scientists at Kew and Queen Mary University of London have discovered that ash populations are evolving resistance to this devastating fungus - and fast. It’s a rare glimmer of hope for
