changing environments ('evolutionary rescue')How to slow the evolution
of insecticide resistance in crop pestsDetermining the predictability of
the genomic basis of rapid evolutionary changeMeasuring the contribution
of the microbiome to rapid host adaptationUnderstanding the genetic
factors that promote and constrain rapid adaptation
