New Special Feature in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B on Eco-evolutionary dynamics.

Annual Populus symposium in Flagstaff, Arizona will be held March 3-4th.

Joe and Jen are currently in Tasmania, Australia working on the community and ecosystem consequences of adaptive evolution in Eucalyptus globulus. This work focuses on a comparison of sympatric dwarf and tall populations at Cape Tourville, Freycinet peninsula.
