It's finally here! .We're happy to announce that the program for the 8th EvoDemo Society Meeting is ready. You can find and download it on the conference website:

Dr. Moorad will talk about his recent work on the role of natural selection in the evolution of asynchronous ageing of traits! .➡️ 2/2.

We’re excited to introduce our next keynote speaker, Dr. Jacob Moorad from @EdinburghUni! He is an evolutionary biologist with an interest in phenotypic and social evolution, life histories, and ageing rates. . 1/2.

Vindenes will present a new result from stochastic life history theory to predict fitness responses to changing variability of specific environ. drivers, highlighting how it can be used to identify how species combine different adaptations depending on their life history!. 2/2.

We’re happy to introduce our next keynote speaker: Assoc. prof. Yngvild Vindenes from @biovitenskap @UniOslo! She is a math-biologist particularly interested in how individuals, populations and communities adapt and respond to climate variability. ➡️. 1/2.

Prof. Franks will talk about kinship dynamics and make special reference to the evolution of menopause in resident killer whales!.➡️ 2/2.

We’re happy to introduce our next keynote speaker: Prof. Dan Franks @DanFranksRsrch from the @UniOfYork @BiologyatYork! He is an ecologist & data scientist particularly interested in animal social networks and life history evolution, and has worked a lot on killer whales! . 1/2

Prof. Monaghan will talk about her work on intergenerational effects of parental age and stress exposure on longevity and reproduction, involving both experimental work on zebra finches, and field studies in other species. ➡️ 2/2.

We’re happy to introduce our next keynote speaker: Prof. Pat Monaghan from the @UofGlasgow! She is an evo-ecologist particularly interested in environmental determinants of variation in individual life histories and ageing rates, from both ultimate and proximate perspectives. 1/2

Using COVID-19 as an example, Sebastien will tell us how classical demographic concepts, such as reproductive value, can be used to study viral adaptation to vaccination strategies!. 2/2.

We are excited to introduce our next keynote speaker: Sebastien Lion, senior researcher at the @cefemontpellier, @CNRS, in Montpellier (France)!. Sebastien’s interest lies in the eco-evolutionary dynamics of structured populations and of host-pathogen interactions. 1/2

⚠️ Reminder that the abstract submission deadline for #EvoDemo8 is Jan 31st (next Tuesday)!. Submit your abstract here:

Dr Paniw will talk about her work developing methods that integrate life-history processes of interacting plants and animals to create dynamic forecasts of biodiversity change. ➡️2/2.

We’re excited to introduce our next keynote speaker: Dr. Maria Paniw (@m_paniw) from @ebddonana. Dr Paniw is exploring how feedbacks between traits, life-history processes & species interactions create resilience in complex multi-trophic communities faced with climate change.1/2

In his talk, Prof. Promislow will show how the @dogagingproject is using a systems biology approach to better understand how genes and environment affect natural variation in #aging. ➡️ 2/2.

Our next keynote speaker is Prof. @DPromislow from @UW! He is co-director of the @dogagingproject, a US nationwide #opendata community science study of #aging in #dogs! They aim to understand how variation in genes, lifestyle and environment influence health and demography. 1/2

Dr Benhaiem will share recent findings from the long-term project on Serengeti spotted hyenas! She will focus on the role of social processes in shaping individual life history trajectories and population dynamics. ➡️2/2

We are glad to introduce our next keynote speaker @BenhaiemSarah, behavioral ecologist at @IZWBerlin and @EcoDynIZW! She has a passion for the diversity of mammalian life histories in natural populations and a broad interest in understanding the evolution of social behavior. 1/2.

Registration for #EvoDemo8 is now opened at . Attendance costs 100 euros. Participation to the optional gala dinner on March 30 (on a barge!) costs an extra 50 euros. All attendees must register separately. ⚠️ Registration deadline: 10th February 2023.

In the second part of his talk, Prof. Tuljapurkar will tell us about how life history affects species existence (extinction), evolution, cohort dynamics, population, interactions, and coexistence!. @TuljaLab.2/2.
