Adaptation to environmental change in animals: ecology, evolution and genomics.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences
How are animals able to live in different environments, with different temperatures, energetic demands, diet, predators, parasites or pH? Thanks to advances in gene sequencing technology, we are in a remarkable period of discovery about the genomic basis of adaptation and how this depends on the intricacies of ecology and environment.
