| Date | 5-Aug-2013 ~ 10-Aug-2013 |
| Project | Workshop on evolutionary quantitative genetics |
| Summary | Quantitative genetics deals with the inheritance of measurements of traits that are affected by many genes. Developments in the field are not reflected in textbooks and available courses aimed at evolutionary biologists. This workshop will review the basics of theory in the field of evolutionary quantitative genetics, its connections to evolution that is observed at various time scales and illustrate how that theory can be tested with data.
