Global warming and changing climatic conditions will require organisms to either track their climatic niche or rapidly adapt to new conditions. Our understanding of the genomic basis underlying climate adaptation across various taxa is currently growing fast. We have so far learned about adaptive inversion clines, polygenic traits, the interplay of standing genetic variation and newly arising mutations, adaptation in symbiotic systems, and the role of adaptive introgression between species. These species-specific responses now raise more general scientific questions:
This symposium aims at bringing together leading scientists in the field to discuss recent results in genomic climate adaptation. Particularly, we want to integrate knowledge across disciplines (e.g. population genetics, molecular ecology/evolution, bioinformatics), and across taxa (e.g. plants, animals, fungi). Together, we want to identify open questions and promising methodology, and conceptually advance this scientifically and societally important field.
The regular participation fee is 100 €. There is a limited number of 100 places.
