The symposium will cover a range of topics in ecological and evolutionary genetics/genomics, with an emphasis on the genetic basis of adaptation and evolution of novel traits in model and non-model organisms. This will include discussions of how novel adaptive traits originated and evolved, how natural selection shaped the pattern of genetic diversity in natural populations, identification of genes or genomic regions that underlying novel and adaptive traits, and understanding factors that constrains adaptive evolution.
