This week, we hosted Dr. Luis Miguel Chevin, an evolutionary biologist from the Center for Functional and Evolutionary Ecology at Montpellier. Luis studies contemporary evolution, investigating how phenotypic plasticity and evolution interact to help populations persist in a changing environment. His research on adaptive evolution has so far covered multiple levels of biological organisation from genes to populations. During his visit, Luis gave a seminar about his recently published work on genetic constraints on adaptation.
