Analyses of the ash dieback pathogen, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, suggest role of tree species diversity on colonization and population structure differentiation

Abstract

Microsatellite markers were used to investigate the population structure of the Ash Dieback pathogen, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, across a tree species diversity gradient containing common ash, Fraxinus excelsior, in the Hainich National Park in central Germany. Population differentiation was determined at a local spatial scale that may be driven by tree species mixtures.
