Evolution and Behaviour Seminar today (Thursday)

Posted on March 18, 2010 by | Leave a comment

A quick reminder of today’s seminar (1pm, BLT1).

It will be given by Emily Hornett from Liverpool University, and should be a good mix of butterflies, evolution, gene mapping and Pacific islands.
I heard  some of this work presented at Popgroup in Janaury and she gave an excellent presentation.
