Coming to PAG 32 this January? Join the first-ever Molecular Ecology workshop

Posted on behalf of Loren Rieseburg and Shawn Narum, workshop organizers.

We are pleased to announce the inaugural workshop for Molecular Ecology at the Plant & Animal Genomics (PAG) conference. The field of Molecular Ecology has been revolutionized by advances in genomics and computational biology that have enabled us to test hypotheses that were previously unanswerable. Topics that may be addressed in the workshop include the following: ecological genomics, ecological interactions, molecular adaptation, environmental nucleic acids, behavioural genomics, population and conservation genomics, epigenomics, and speciation and hybridization.

Email your abstract by November 12, 2024 to Loren Rieseberg/Shawn Narum to be considered for an oral presentation (loren.rieseberg@botany.ubc.ca; shawnn@uidaho.edu)

This initial workshop will include four invited speakers plus presentations from contributed speakers. Contributed oral presentations will be selected from abstracts submitted to the workshop by November 12, 2024. This workshop aims to bring together researchers, students, and practitioners in the field to explore how recent advances in genomics and molecular biology can be integrated with theory, concepts, and approaches of organismal biology.

Join us January 14, 2025 (10:30 AM-12:40 PM) in San Diego, CA!

For questions regarding abstracts, please contact Loren Rieseberg (loren.rieseberg@botany.ubc.caor Shawn Narum (shawnn@uidaho.edu).
