Today was time for learning about coalescent models, recombination and more inversions! Later there was an afternoon visit to the Biodiversity Gallery and Porto highlights 🌲

City tour around Vila do Conde, a 16th century ship, a rococó style chapel and a monastery, what a surprising place!

Moving from genomics of adaptation to colouration analyses, which colors do littorinids keep in their different habitats? 🤔

[ISOLBE 2023 @isolbexiii]

We started with the opening ceremony with representatives from the city council of Vila do Conde and first talks of Kerstin Johannesson, Roger Butlin, James Reeve, Ana Peris, Marco Gerdol (online) and Amin Ghane

Yesterday we had the welcoming of participants. Great to see many known faces from international scientists around!
