Rapid polygenic adaptation in a wild population of ash trees under a novel fungal epidemic Rapid evolution through small shifts in allele frequencies at thousands of loci is a long-standing neo-Darwinian prediction but is hard to characterize in the wild. European ash tree (Fraxinus excelsi...

After three long years, the last part of my PhD work is now published in Science!

We found that ash trees in the UK are evolving (some) resistance to ash dieback; a rare case where natural selection is happening quickly enough to see within a single generation.
