CoE in Evolutionary Genetics and Physiology

The Centre of Excellence in Evolutionary Genetics and Physiology aims to cross traditional biological boundaries in evolution research, which includes questions related to local adaptation, natural selection and species evolution. The CoE intends to concentrate specifically on species whose ecology is well known but whose genomes and physiological responses are poorly understood. Based at the University of Turku, the Centre of Excellence in Evolutionary Genetics and Physiology has three research teams that represent ecological genetics, evolutionary and environmental physiology, and molecular ecology and evolution.
