Conference aims
Sexual selection is a central theme for contemporary evolutionary and behavioural research. Work in this area is focused either on:
- Whole-organism behavioural, life history and physiological studies, or
- The use of genomic techniques to understand drivers and mechanisms.
These two approaches reflect a paradigm split across the discipline. The aim of the conference is to develop a ‘conceptual framework’ to demonstrate how the two approaches can be used together, and identify priorities and opportunities for future research.
