Late Lunch Talk by Anna Runemark and Michael Matschiner

This Friday the 4th we will be discussing: "Fitness of multidimensional phenotypes in dynamic adaptive landscapes", on how dynamic adaptive landscapes link phenotypes to fitness across environments.

A short introduction will be given by Solveig Kristensen, Professor and Vice Dean at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. 

Integrating Ecology and Evolution: From ecology to micro- and macroevolution. Registration necessary.

Macroevolution journal club is back and on Friday the 28th we will be discussing: "The adaptive landscape as a conceptual bridge between micro- and macroevolution", a review by Arnold et al. (2001). 

Early Lunch Talk by Katie Dean

This Friday we will be discussing: "Iterative adaptive radiations of fossil canids show no evidence for diversity-dependent trait evolution" by Slater 2015. The paper is a part of the Special issue: "The future of the fossil record: Paleontology in the 21st century."

Late Lunch Talk by Michael Garratt from the University of Reading, UK

Friday seminar by Matthew Burgess from University of California, Santa Barbara  (US)

This week, we discuss: "Age-Dependent Speciation Can Explain the Shape of Empirical Phylogenies" by Hagen et al. 2015, as a follow-up to last week's discussion.

CIME, EVOGENE & CEES Friday Seminar by Volkhard Kempf from the University Hospital Frankfurt

This week, we continue reading about the debate at the 2014 ASN meeting: "Species Diversity Is Dynamic and Unbounded at Local and Continental Scales" by Harmon and Harrison in Am Nat.

This week we discuss a new paper by Hunt et al. (2015) on models of trait evolution: "Simple versus complex models of trait evolution and stasis as a response to environmental change". This paper is a part of the Special issue: "The future of the fossil record: Paleontology in the 21st century."

CEES Extra Seminar by Bernard Wood from The George Washington University
