Evolution of Sex Determining genes in Fishes – PhyloSex
The genetic and cell biological mechanisms making the decision whether the undifferentiated gonad of the embryo develops either towards male or female are manifold and quite different. Sex determining (SD) mechanism range from environmental to simple or complex genetic mechanisms and have evolved ob
Opening new avenues to model the DYnamics of Species aSsemblages by integrating Ecology and Evolution: a case study from the mountain ecosystems of the Alps and the Carpathians – ODYSSEE
The assemblage of species within ecosystems results from both historical contingencies, the response of species to environmental factors (climate and land use) and interactions between species. The ODYSSEE project aims to disentangle these different components by studying a model system: the high el
SPATIO-TEMPORAL COLONIZATION PATTERNS IN EXPANDING TREE POPULATIONS: an integrated genetic and genomic approach – ExpandTree
The long life span of trees provides the opportunity to study several successive cohorts still present in their changing environment (warming, lad-use modifications...). Within this framework, EXPANDTREE relies on genetic and genomic spatial data to understand the demographic and genetic forces in a
Biodiversity and biogeography of marine, reef-forming red algal order Corallinales from western Pacific Ocean – BIOCARRA
Our main objective is to provide baseline information on Coralline algae while getting a better visibility of the studies dedicated to the exploration of the biodiversity of this group. These algae are living calcareous stones which represent a very particular case group for taxonomical studies. The
Regulatory and functional evolution upon gene duplication – EVOGENDUP
Our genomes contain multiple copies of a given gene: this phenomena is at the basis of the gene families, where each member often performs different functions. Our specific objective is to understand the molecular mechanisms that determine their functional divergence over time. The challenge is to u
