Investigate the ecology and evolution of Saccharomyces yeast species on oak.
- Sample collection
- Collect bark samples from 28 native oaks, five project-designated trees, and three old oaks, targeting areas known for yeast colonisation.
- Analysis
- Conduct genetic sequencing and ecological assessments to understand yeast distributions and their interactions with the oak bark environment.
