Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology

The Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology (CeMEB) brings together a broad expertise from different disciplines interested in the evolutionary processes affecting marine organisms. The main foci are how populations evolve, adapt, and diverge across spatial and temporal environmental transitions. This research helps us understand how marine organisms can adapt, either to new habitats, or to climate change.
