Action carried out

WP1: Analyses and development of methods for detecting allelic variation associated with geographic/ temporal climatic variation

Task 1.1 Comparison of current methodologies
Task 1.2. Development of a frequentist-based method adapted to environmental structure
Task 1.3. Development of an individual-based method.
Task 1.4. Identification of temporal genetic variation and footprints of selection.

WP 2: Spatial contrasts

Task 2.1: Production of datasets for the application of the methods developed in WP1.
Task 2.2. Assessing the role of the genes identified in genotype/phenotype association studies.

WP 3: Temporal contrasts

Task 3.1. Detection of selection footprints through genome scan analyses.
Task 3.2. Analysis of the potential role of identified genes or genotypes in the response to climate change.
Task 3.3. Inferring the role of phenotypic plasticity in population responses to climate change.
