This Friday the 11th we will be discussing: "Linking macrotrends and microrates: Re-evaluating microevolutionary support for Cope's rule" where they look at trait changes at microevolutionary scales to test for Cope`s rule.

This week we will discuss a paper by Rolshausen et al. (2015, Evolution) on the the effects of gene flow on selection.

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.

Georgina Mace: "How should we value nature in a human-dominated world?". James Wilsdon: "The science and art of scientific advice"

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). 

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."

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.

CEES Extra Seminar by Matthieu Barbier and Emily Klein from Princeton University. 

 Daniel Hitchcock (PhD student, AQUA)

Friday Seminar by Juan Bonachela from the University of Strathclyde (Scotland)

This week we will discuss a paper by Cong et al. (2015, Cell) on the genomics of speciation in butterflies.

Please note that it will take place in the aquarium on Friday the 8th at 12!

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."
