Genomics Research in Ecology & Evolution in Nature

GREEN is a cooperative assembly of researchers within the Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences (GELIFES). Members of GREEN utilize population and community level genetic/genomic methods to address ecological, evolutionary and conservation questions related to biodiversity, ecosystem function, community interactions, speciation, adaptation and plasticity. The focus is on non-model and emerging model species that play key roles in the communities/ecosystems in which they occur. Staff members all have their own research lines but many cross-collaborations exist between groups.
