Epistasis play s a critical role in evolutionary dynamics\, affecting the speed of adapta tion\, the likelihood of genotypic diversification\, and the predictabilit y of evolution. However\, our theoretical understanding of the adaptive co nsequences of epistasis arises primarily from studying evolution on static fitness landscapes. Consequently\, the feedback loop between epistasis\, organismal fitness\, and the organisms’ environment is poorly understood. In this talk\, I will discuss some examples of epistatic feedbacks in micr obial evolution and show how epistasis can be used to better contextualise and analyze eco-evolutionary dynamics.\n DTSTART:20260317T160000Z DTEND:20260317T170000Z SUMMARY:QLS Seminar Series - David McLeod URL:/miam/channels/event/qls-seminar-series-david-mcle od-371315 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
