The symposium was brilliantly closed by Dr. David Berger with his talk on "Strong Selection, but low repeatability: Temperature-specific effects on genomic predictions of adaptation" #ESEB2025

Dr. Jean-Baptiste Ledoux talked about coral heat stress: "Can Mediterranean Gorgonian Populations Cope with Extreme Climatic Events? Insights from Common Garden Experiments and Population Genomics in Paramuricea clavata". A powerful reminder of why this research is crucial 🪸 #ESEB2025

Paulo Aceyo talked about bromeliads and elevational change in his presentation: "A locally adapted neotropical bromeliad shows loss of macrosynteny and expansion of
stress related gene families among individuals along an elevational gradient" 🪴 #ESEB2025

Dr. Aja Tengstedt told us about how climate induced changes in rain fall has created ice layers, so reindeer cannot access food in her talk "Using Landscape Genomics to Predict Climate Change Vulnerability in a Large Mammal Grazer". This is a stark example of climate impacts. 🦌 #ESEB2025

After wild apples, we had an amazing talk about field mustard! Sebastien Geneste talked about "Local Adaptation to Climate in Wild and Feral Brassica rapa: Genetic Architecture and Genetic Offset" 🌱🧬 #ESEB2025

We then had a great talk by Ronan Dadole on "Plasticity, local adaptation and maladaptation to climate in a wild relative of the cultivated apples" 🍎 #ESEB2025
