Overview

Giovanni G. Vendramin is affiliated with the National Research Council (CNR) in Italy, focusing on research areas within environmental science, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and agricultural and biological sciences. Their work spans multiple subfields, including genetics, nature and landscape conservation, ecology, global and planetary change, and plant science.

Their publications address a variety of topics, with a particular emphasis on genetic diversity and population structure, ecology and vegetation dynamics studies, genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock, forest ecology and management, forest insect ecology and management, species distribution and climate change, and tree-ring climate responses.

Among their recent published papers are:

  • The GenTree Dendroecological Collection, tree-ring and wood density data from seven tree species across Europe (2020, Scientific Data)
  • Evolutionary rate and genetic load in an emblematic Mediterranean tree following an ancient and prolonged population collapse (2020, Molecular Ecology)
  • Functional Relationships of Wood Anatomical Traits in Norway Spruce (2020, Frontiers in Plant Science)
  • Polygenic adaptation and negative selection across traits, years and environments in a long-lived plant species (Pinus pinaster Ait., Pinaceae) (2022, Molecular Ecology)
  • A draft genome of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) reveals genome-wide and local effects of domestication (2020, The Plant Journal)

Giovanni G. Vendramin has frequently collaborated with co-authors including Francesca Bagnoli, Andrea Piotti, Santiago C. González-Martínez, Bruno Fady, and Camilla Avanzi.

The scientist publishes regularly in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Molecular Ecology, Scientific Data, Diversity and Distributions, and Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research).

Additionally, Giovanni G. Vendramin has contributed to book publications, including a work published by FAO eBooks titled Indicators of the genetic diversity of trees - State, pressure, benefit and response (2020).
