Rapid polygenic adaptation in a wild population of ash trees under a novel fungal epidemic

The paper shows rapid polygenic adaptation in ash trees due to a fungal epidemic, with a 31% juvenile population decline estimated through simulations.

Genomic basis of European ash tree resistance to ash dieback fungus

The paper identifies SNPs associated with ash dieback resistance in European ash trees and develops a genomic prediction model with over 90% accuracy.
