Several members of our team attended the exciting meeting of the Sociedad Ibérica de Ecología (SIBECOL) and the Asociación Española de Ecología Terrestre (AEET) in Pontevedra, Galicia (III SIBECOL & XVII AEET meeting). Francesco, Clara, and Dani gave presentations and even organized a special session on “Assessing the interplay between genetic and non-genetic mechanisms contributing to phenotypic variation and adaptation over time” together with our esteemed collaborators (Christina Richards, Mar Sobral, Javier Puy and Vítek Latzel).
