Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology

The Linnaeus Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology, CeMEB, brings together a broad expertise from different disciplines interested in evolutionary processes of marine organisms. Main foci are how populations evolve, adapt and diverge. This includes processes of adaptation over spatial and temporal environmental transitions as, for example, climate change.

News and events

CeMEB spring assembly will be held on two afternoons, the 27th and 28th of April. The focus will be internal, where members can share exciting ongoing research with each other. Registration is now open!
