Listen to researcher Rike Stelkens talk about the role of yeast in evolution, and enjoy a tasting of locally brewed beer.

Abstract. Accelerating climate change and extreme temperatures urge us to better understand the potential of populations to tolerate and adapt to thermal c

Measuring selection and dominance in fitness of the insecticide-resistant Ace alleles in Drosophila melanogaster, the authors show evidence for beneficial reversal of dominance, a mechanism that can s...

Wild yeasts live in the forests all around us. Yet, little is known about the role they play in ecosystems. They can be used to develop new beer and bread flavors, but wild yeast can also serve as a u...

Site description

Yeast reveals how species adapt to a warmer climate How do organisms adapt to climate change? A new study reveals the complex interplay between genetic diversity and temperature tolerance evolution.

Wild yeasts can be used to develop new beer and bread flavors, but wild yeast can also serve as a unique model for studying climate change.

Come join our EU cephalopod consortium to discover how octopuses and other coleoids developed their large nervous system. Postdoc position available in the Seuntjens Lab in Leuven, Belgium.
