PROGRAM 13th DrosEU-consortium meeting: 8th and 9th of May 2023, Wageningen. Evolutionary genomics of adaptation in natural populations

Understanding the genomic basis of adaptation is a fundamental question in evolutionary biology with far-reaching implications, including for climate change, biodiversity, biological invasion, pest control, and plant and animal health. How environmental change affects the genetic composition of populations is still poorly understood: questions such as how rapidly adaptation can occur, and at what spatialcontinue …

DrosEU/ESEB STN Summer school: “Integrating -omics approaches for eco-evolutionary research”

We are thrilled to announce the DrosEU/ESEB STN Summer school on “Integrating -omics approaches for eco-evolutionary research” that will take place on 13-14 August 2022 in Prague, immediately before the ESEB 2022 meeting (https://www.eseb2022.cz). Omics analyses hold great promise to understand both ultimate and proximate causes of phenotypic adaptation at different hierarchical levels, and cutting-edgecontinue …

ESEB 2022 DrosEU Symposium “Progress and Prospects in Adaptation Genomics”

The aim of this symposium is to bring together evolutionary biologists interested in using genomics to understand adaptive processes and evolutionary history and to discuss recent progress and future prospects in this field. Population genomics deals with three fundamental questions: (1) How much genetic variation exists in populations? (2) How is this variation maintained? (3)continue …
