PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Peripheral isolates as hotbeds of adaptive diversity

Here we focus on small, isolated populations at the edge of a species’ range (peripheral isolates). We focus on these populations as potential hotbeds of adaptive diversity under climate change, and as ideal experimental systems in which to answer fundamental questions in ecology and evolution.
