Richard Buggs

About

Professor Richard Buggs is a Professor of Evolutionary Genomics at Queen Mary University of London. His research focuses on evolutionary genetics and adaptation, as evidenced by his recent articles on topics such as polygenic adaptation in wild ash trees, genetic variation in domesticated crops, and local adaptation in Asian white birch. With a strong emphasis on the genomic structure of tree populations and contemporary natural selection, Professor Buggs contributes significantly to understanding the genetic dynamics of forest ecosystems.
