Molecular mechanisms in evolution and ecology
Media Partnership
between Biobreeding and Molecular mechanisms in evolution and ecology
Conference overview
The focus of this conference series is on interspecies and cell-environment interactions across living organisms, aiming to highlight the latest technological advances, amplify scientific and societal focus on biodiversity, and showcase studies on the vital role of microbes in planetary ecosystems.
Microbes are a major driver of ecological and evolutionary processes. With the advances in omics, microbial diversity can now be catalogued at an unprecedented scale, but the molecular mechanisms that drive ecological and evolutionary changes in microbial populations, phylogenetic clades and ecological communities often remain elusive. To obtain mechanistic insight we need to bridge methods, disciplines and viewpoints, a purpose that this conference has served well in its previous editions.
The 2026 meeting will bring together researchers from a wide range of fields and microbial systems that aim to gain mechanistic insights on major outstanding ecological and evolutionary questions or that develop novel experimental / computational approaches for doing so.
Keynote lectures at the start and end of the meeting will focus on the ecology and evolution of symbiosis. In each of the four sessions invited speakers who are at the forefront of their research domain alongside short talks selected from abstracts will cover a broad range of questions and study systems.
