SouthEastern Population Ecology and Evolutionary Genetics

Please join us for the 51st annual SouthEastern Population Ecology and Evolutionary Genetics (SEPEEG) meeting at The Outdoor Lab located in Clemson, South Carolina. SEPEEG brings together scientists from institutions in the Southeast to discuss their research on ecology, population biology, evolution and genetics. SEPEEG first organized in 1973 as SEEGG, the Southeastern Ecological Genetics Group, and is meant to be a casual and collaborative meeting bringing together postdocs, students and faculty from colleges and universities primarily in the southeastern United States. SEPEEG is a single-session meeting that provides a comfortable, engaging environment for formal and informal interactions between attendees. The meeting generally attracts over 100 participants from all career stages.
