Dear Colleagues, on the behalf of my co-organiser Jean-Baptiste Ledoux, I would like to bring your attention to the symposium we are organizing in the upcoming ESEB congress in Barcelona. The symposium entitled "S31 | Habitat-forming species and global change: a multidisciplinary perspective on their evolution and adaptive potential to improve their conservation." aims to discuss the evolution of terrestrial and marine habitat-forming species impacted by global change, including climate change. The two confirmed invited speakers are Dr. Ophelie Ronce (ISEM) and Prof. Thorsten Reusch (GEOMAR). We encourage studies adopting a multidisciplinary perspective combining for instance population genetics, genomics, transcriptomics, experiments (common gardens or reciprocal transplants), long term in situ monitoring, symbiotic interactions, genomic offset and modeling. Abstracts can be submitted here until the 25th of April 2025. Please feel free to forward this message to interested individuals in your research group and wider community. And please also feel free to write to any of us if you have questions. Best regards, Didier Aurelle AURELLE Didier (to subscribe/unsubscribe the EvolDir send mail to golding@mcmaster.ca)
