Tentative Program

This session will explore the fundamental mechanisms of evolution that shape genetic diversity in animal populations. Topics will include natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow as they relate to adaptive traits.

This track focuses on the application of phylogenetic methods to elucidate evolutionary relationships among animal species. Participants will discuss advancements in molecular techniques that enhance our understanding of evolutionary history.

This session will highlight genomic studies that investigate the genetic basis of adaptation in various animal species. Emphasis will be placed on the role of genomic variation in facilitating responses to environmental changes.

This track will examine the principles of population genetics as they apply to conservation efforts in endangered animal species. Discussions will focus on genetic diversity, inbreeding, and the implications for population viability.

This session will delve into comparative genomics to uncover evolutionary patterns across different animal taxa. Participants will share insights on how comparative approaches can inform our understanding of evolutionary processes.

This track will explore the molecular mechanisms driving genetic innovation and evolutionary change in animals. Topics will include gene duplication, horizontal gene transfer, and the emergence of novel traits.
