Impact of selective logging on the population dynamics and genetic diversity in the neotropical timber tree Dicorynia guianensis

This study examines how selective logging affects genetic diversity and seedling recruitment in Dicorynia guianensis, finding no genetic erosion but altered dispersal and reproductive patterns.

Towards genetic indicators in ectomycorrhizal fungi: estimating the effective population size

The paper estimates effective population size (Ne) in ectomycorrhizal fungi using genetic data and finds biases in Ne estimation due to clonality and population structure.

Complementary evidence from historical and contemporary gene dispersal reveals contrasting population dynamics in a tropical tree species

The paper combines historical and contemporary gene dispersal data to reveal contrasting population dynamics in Dicorynia guianensis across French Guiana.

A higher load of deleterious mutations has a detrimental effect on tree growth in maritime pine

This study shows that higher genetic load, caused by deleterious mutations, is associated with reduced tree growth in maritime pine.

Low-frequency somatic mutations are heritable in tropical trees Dicorynia guianensis and Sextonia rubra

The paper identifies low-frequency somatic mutations in two tropical tree species and shows they can be heritable despite not following expected branching patterns or UV exposure effects.

Polygenic adaptation and negative selection across traits, years and environments in a long-lived plant species (Pinus pinaster Ait., Pinaceae)

The paper estimates polygenicity and negative selection for fitness traits in maritime pine across environments and years, finding stable polygenicity and evidence of negative selection.
