Friday seminar by Anna Iglikowska from Institute of Oceanology of Polish Academy of Sciences

Time and place: , Room 3513

This week in the macroevolution journal club we will read a paper by Althoff et al. 2014 : "Testing for coevolutionary diversification: linking pattern with process". Join us for a discussion of this short review on potential mechanisms of coevolutionary diversification and ways to test it.

 

Time and place: , Seminar room 3315

This week we will read a recent paper by Patrik Nosil and colleagues on the repeatability of the genetic changes driving the divergence of populations into new species. The paper is entitled "Stick Insect Genomes Reveal Natural Selection’s Role in Parallel Speciation" and was recently published in Science. The reported findings indicate that natural selection can drive parallel phenotypic evolution via parallel genetic changes.
