bioGENESIS - Providing an evolutionary framework for biodiversity science

DIVERSITAS, the international programme of biodiversity science (www.diversitas-international.org), has initiated a new Core Project, bioGENESIS. The aim of bioGENESIS is to catalyse the international communication and integrated research that are necessary to bring evolutionary approaches to bear on pressing biodiversity issues.

I am one of the Co-Chairs of the Scientific Committee for bioGENESIS.
