Call for abstracts: symposium on Genomic insights into evolutionary adaptation and species movements in a changing climate at ESEB 2025 ESEB 2025 Congress will be held at the International Convention Centre of Barcelona (CCIB) in Barcelona, Spain, from August 17 to 22, 2025. Danielle Davenport and Ian Bradbury from Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Samantha Beck of UHI Inverness are pleased to announce the upcoming symposium On Genomic insights into evolutionary adaptation and species movements in a changing climate at ESEB 2025. Rapid environmental change is altering biodiversity and driving shifts in species' ranges. These changes can lead to phenological mismatches, heightening population vulnerability and disrupting ecological interactions. Genomic tools provide powerful insights into the genetic architecture of adaptive traits, particularly those linked to phenology, helping to understand the vulnerability of populations to climate change and their capacity for range shifts. In this symposium, we highlight our current understanding of the genomic basis of adaptation to climate change, with focal areas of research covering genomic forecasts and traits linked to phenology. By bringing together a diversity of researchers using novel genomic tools to address fundamental conservation concerns, we hope that this symposium inspires collaboration among researchers and promotes the development of innovative methods and strategies for conservation and evolutionary rescue. Our goal is to advance the application of genomic insights to predict species' responses to environmental changes and to inform management practices that support biodiversity and ecosystem resilience in an increasingly unpredictable climate. We are pleased to confirm as invited speakers Matthew Fitzpatrick, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, who will speak on "Can ecological genomics predict population maladaptation under climate change? Lessons learned from 10 years of working with genomic offsets" and Shawn Narum, Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission/University of Idaho who will speak on "Genetic variation associated with adult migration timing in lineages of Steelhead & Chinook Salmon". Deadline for abstract submission: 25 April 2025.
