So impressive to see these folks’ persistence to sample, test, breed, and outplant whitebark pine individuals with genetic resistance to the invasive pathogen white pine blister rust. #livingwithpurpose #forestserviceresearch #assistedevolution

How Oregon scientists are solving the problem of Crater Lake’s dying trees

Oregon scientists have spent decades figuring out which trees can survive invasive blister rust fungus, which has wiped out millions of whitebark pine trees across the West and threatens the survival ...

Can we help corals adapt to a warming ocean?

A new Science Advances study suggests yes—but not in simple ways.

Researchers found that assisted evolution can improve heat tolerance, but the outcomes are… complex.

And that’s probably the most important finding.

#Nature can't adapt fast enough. So we are forcing it. 🪸🧬 We expose the #SuperCoral project: using #AssistedEvolution and #Microfragmentation to breed heat-tolerant reefs. From "Gardening" to Gene Flow, is this the only way to save the ocean?
