Latitudinal variation in clonal trait covariances underlies local adaptation of the invasive Spartina alterniflora at low latitudes in China By examining Spartina alterniflora across latitudinal gradients in China, this study reveals that a genetically based negative covariance between clonal em

Sporting the ultimate of common garden experiment fashion this year - @krunkg.bsky.social shows how you too can fashion the literally cutting edge of field supply fashion while protecting your trees from hungry little rodents #blackash #commongarden #fieldfun @krlopicc.bsky.social

GWAS results showing significant SNPs associated with the number of errors made during the inhibitory control task.

Using #quantgen, #commongarden, and #GWAS approaches, we find that urban and forest great tits do not differ (phenotypically or genetically) in their cognitive abilities related to inhibitory control, but show that cognitive variation may have a genetic basis.

Day 1 in the books: 1060 trees in their new home! Amazing working alongside friends at Natural Resources Canada and the Forest Gene Conservation Association #blackash #teamwork #commongarden #conservation #internationalcollaboration @krlopicc.bsky.social @jacobmazza.bsky.social @krunkg.bsky.social

Four days, 2400 black ash seedlings later - we are over half way!! #teamash is the epitome of #teamworkdreamwork (and should maybe start their own chorus line) #fieldworkshenanigans #commongarden #congen @krlopicc.bsky.social @diegodelorbe.bsky.social

There’s something about going out to the field and planting a tree that just feels good #scienceforthesoul - admittedly we have a lot of trees!! #blackash #commongarden #dreamteam @krlopicc.bsky.social

Day 2 of the PI taking selfies and photos while everyone works really hard #blackash #commongarden #congen. It’s a little wet out here!!

Day One, Block 1 of 8 complete with about 500 black ash seedlings snug in their permanent home in the ground #happyplanters #happytrees #commongarden #congen. Now for a little back recovery with stretching before round two tomorrow #achyPI

Spring is springing in the greenhouse and the black ash are reaching for the sun! ☀️ #commongarden #conservationgenetics

A huge thanks to all of the volunteers and partner organizations who helped to restore dunes in Hampton, NH this weekend!

From harvesting native #DuneGrass at the #CommonGarden on Friday, to planting at a local restoration site, it was amazing to see the community come together under a shared goal.

ℹ️Es un experimento multigeneracional con un diseño de jardín común (common garden) donde controlan la polinización para que no haya mezcla genética entre los individuos de distinta generación y tratamiento.

Just a little black ash forest coming up in the greenhouse. After a year of prepping for this experiment it’s so much fun to see the seedlings come up! #rangewide #commongarden
