Forecasting extinction risk from genomic data is challenging because of interactions among environment, demography, and genomic erosion. Here, we use known outcomes from forward simulations as a...

Migration analyses indicate limited long-distance dispersal but strong local connectivity in Italy, consistent with the rapid regional spread of X. fastidiosa. In contrast, we find complex historical gene flow within the UK, suggesting geographic or climatic barriers to movement.
Maps of Europe, with zoomed in views of Italy and the UK, coloured by the historic rates of gene-flow showing areas of high- and low- movement, and graphs showing the different relationships between genetic- and geographic-distance in populations in Italy and the UK.

These findings reveal the population structure and adaptive potential of P. spumarius, Europe’s key vector of X. fastidiosa. They highlight the need for targeted surveillance of locally adapted populations and provide genomic tools to monitor vector dynamics and disease risks.

We have a new pre-print! Here we show how selection may shape behavioral traits in small isolated populations. We also show selective signatures at genes associated with reduced aggressiveness, possibly involving alternative splicing @maevagabrielli @rsbiello

We’re delighted to share our latest preprint from the Hogenhout lab (@SaskiaHogenhout, @JohnInnesCentre) on the molecular mechanisms of plant-aphid interactions. We show how the aphid Mp10 effector protein acts as a local anesthetic, suppressing plant perception of aphid attack.
