CeMEB Advanced Course 2012: "Marine evolution under climate change"

The Linnaeus Centre for Marine Evolutionary (CeMEB) invite PhD students and postdocs from all over the world to gather for one week in a stimulating environment to discuss how climate change affects evolutionary rules that shape ocean ecosystem. *19 - 23 November 2012, Sven Lovén Centre for Marine Sciences - Kristineberg, Sweden* ***Deadline for registration: 30th September 2012***

What determines species-sensitivity to future environmental stressors
and how does it relates to species recent evolutionary history? What
life-history strategies will be selected in future ocean? How can we
assess a species adaptation potential? What is the role of phenotypic
plasticity in species resilience? What will be evolutionary rules in
future oceans? What is the role of ecological interactions in future
ecosystem changes?
