Seminar: Plant adaptation and evolution across temporal and spatial scales.

Host: William Crepet

Dr. Zapata’s research addresses questions about the evolutionary processes that generate biological diversity at multiple phylogenetic, spatial, temporal, and phenotypic scales. This includes genomics, phenomics and the evolution of species and speciation processes; micro- and macro-evolutionary patterns and processes from populations to clades; and the genomic basis of adaptations and evolution of functional phenotypes.
