IGC Symposium 2018
Microbial Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics
Microorganisms are exciting model systems to study how ecology and evolution interact. Recent work suggests the existence of a real-time feedback loop between ecology and evolution in microbial communities. However, the study of ecological and evolutionary processes in microbes are still largely independent endeavours.
This meeting aims to discuss recent developments in microbial eco-evolutionary dynamics research and serve as a venue for integrating the results obtained from different fields of evolution and ecology. By bringing together experts on different aspects of microbial evolution and ecology (e.g. experimental evolution, comparative genomics, ecological interactions, and theoretical biology), we hope to facilitate the development of new research strategies to better understand the generation and maintenance of microbial diversity.
The symposium will be held on 22-24 October (see our program) at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência in Portugal (more info). Register soon!
