Ecology and Perpetual Evolution in High Dimensions

Explore a lecture on "Ecology and Perpetual Evolution in High Dimensions" presented by Daniel Fisher as part of the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences' program on theoretical and empirical approaches to understanding polygenic adaptation. Delve into the complex interplay between genetic variation and phenotypic traits, examining how multiple genetic variants influence a wide range of characteristics from crop yield to human height and complex diseases. Gain insights into the evolving perspectives on adaptive dynamics, bridging the gap between theories of adaptation through large changes at few genetic loci and infinitesimal changes across numerous loci. Engage with cutting-edge research that aims to integrate diverse ideas into a unified framework, expanding our understanding of various modes of adaptation and their quantitative description in relation to empirical data. Participate in this comprehensive program featuring pedagogical lectures, research seminars, and interactive tutorial and discussion sessions, designed to foster an inclusive and diverse learning environment.
