This research theme is dedicated to studying the population, quantitative and developmental genetics of natural populations and model organisms. An emphasis is placed on ecological and evolutionary genomic studies of plant, animal and microbial (symbiotic) interactions, behaviour and speciation, physiological adaptation, stress resistance and evolution of body plans, and the population, quantitative and developmental genetics of natural populations and model organisms.
Within this theme are groups investigating: symbiosis; genetics of longevity and chemical toxicology; evolution of mating systems, life histories and reproductive strategies; evolutionary physiology; quantitative genetics; and evolutionary developmental biology.
