The EvolDir is directed toward evolutionary biologists,
population biologists and scientists in related areas. Reminder: the preferred use of EvolDir is for bulletins not discussions (for the latter see the USENET/Google groups).
Evolutionary Ecology has a call for a special issue on "Dispersal in Small Organisms". (Jul 18). Molecular Ecology and Molecular Ecology Resources have introduced a new manuscript category: Mini Reviews. For more details on this, please see https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.17381 or contact the reviews editor: joannafreeland@trentu.ca (Jul 9). Convergent Evolution in Stone-Tool Technology, Edited by Michael J. O'Brien, Briggs Buchanan and Metin I. Eren, from MIT Press. (Jul 6). Scientific Reports is seeking submissions for a special collection on the topic of Microbial Ecology and Phylogeny. Submission deadline Aug 28. (Jun 27). Special Issue Diversity-dependence of dispersal, ed by D. Bonte, E. Fronhofer and S. Keith. Access at https://www.bit.ly/PTB1907. (Jun 25). Special Issue of Conservation Genetics, advancing the landscape of conservation genetics. (Jun 24). Evolution and Development Conceptual Issues, by Alan C. Love, from Cambridge University Press.

This site is managed by Brian Golding. If you feel that you have something
of interest to other evolutionary biologists please send me
e-mail and
I will put it on these pages. These pages are for evolutionary
biologists (population genetics, and related fields). If there is a
message that seems too distant to these purposes, it will be deleted
or worse, edited at my discretion to read "the evolution of ...".
