PopCOmics in the 20th Iberian Marine Biology Symposium
Marta
Pascual gave a keynote speech “Population structure in marine organisms: from genetics to genomics”,
and four oral presentations and six posters dealt with results of the project,
no less!
The titles
of the talks were:
-Antich A,
Palacín C, San Román D, Wangensteen OS, Turon X. Metabarcoding the benthic
boundary layer: the role of sampling method and marker characteristics in the
DNA signatures obtained at the interface between benthos and plankton.
-Turon X,
Casso M, Pascual M. Population genomics revealed independent colonisation
events of a global ascidian invader.
-Carreras C,
García-Cisneros A, Wangensteen OS, Ordóñez V, Palacin C, Turon X, Pascual M
(2019) East to West: Population genomics and hierarchical analyses reveal
differential adaptation footprints in the edible sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus.
-Torrado H, Carreras C, Raventós N, Pascual P, Macpherson
E(2019) Environmental and phenotypic drivers affect differential genomic
responses in two sympatric congeneric fish.
And the
posters were:
-Turon X, Casso M, Turon M, Marco N, Pascual M. Tunic
microbiome of a global ascidian invader.
-Pascual M,
Casso M, Tagliapietra D, Turon X. High fusibility and chimera prevalence in a
worldwide invasive colonial ascidian.
-Pérez-Portela
R, Riesgo A, Wangensteen OS, Palacín C, Turon X. Loving the warming:
transcriptomic responses to acute thermal shifts in a recent colonizer in the
Mediterranean, the sea urchin Arbacia
lixula.
-Barbanti A,
Turmo M, Blumenthal JM, Boyle J, Broderick AC, Collyer L, Ebanks-Petrie G, Godley
BJ, Mustin W, Pascual M, Carreras C. Founding in action: genetic assessment of
new populations from the same reintroduction program.
-Carreras C,
Pous S, Vega M, Macpherson E, Pascual M. Genotyping impact of mixing samples
from multiple non-model species in population genomic analyses
-Torrado H, Mourre B, Raventós N, Carreras C, Tintoré J, Pascual M, Macpherson E. Use of individual early life traits in larval
dispersal models: a multispecies approach.
The meeting
was an enjoyable experience. We could meet and discuss with colleagues from the
Iberian Peninsula and beyond. The presentations of the PopCOmics project were
very well received and we got valuable inputs for our research.
