New paper: Remote sensing of cytotype and its consequences for canopy damage in quaking aspen
A new lab study mapping genetic diversity across landscapes, and demonstrating it influences forest damage (and likely mortality) – read it at Global Change Biology or download a PDF. Our spatial map of genetic features can be interactively explored (very fun!) using Google Earth Engine. Species distribution models typically assume that distributions depend on the…
