Genomic Exploration of Climate-driven Evolution and Evolutionary Convergence in Forest Pathogens

This study examined three fungal diseases that harm forests to understand how they adapt to different climate conditions. Researchers found that all three pathogens rely on similar genetic changes to adapt to wet and humid environments, despite being very different species. Using computer models, they predicted how these diseases might spread differently as climate changes in the future, which could help forest managers prepare and protect trees.
