FTZ invites you to a seminar focused on adaptation to climate change.
When? February 20, 2025, 14:00–15:30 Where? Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences, Room 116 Online access: The link can be found in the attached invitation.
Guest speaker: Petr Kotlík – Institute of Animal Physiology and Genetics, Czech Academy of Sciences
How do animals adapt to climate change? Using the bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus) as a model species, we will explore how populations have historically coped with climate fluctuations and assess their potential for future adaptation. We will discuss the role of genetic diversity, natural selection, and evolutionary processes that shape ecosystems worldwide, including the tropics.
The seminar is open to students, researchers, and anyone interested in evolution and biodiversity conservation!
Join us to discover how we can better predict the future of the natural world!
