In 2022, Deepa organized the ASN Vice-Presidential Symposium at the annual meeting of the Evolution societies in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. The symposium featured a set of wonderful talks by five invited speakers from across the world, analysing how genetic variation shapes adaptation. The work reported in these talks is now out in the Symposium section of The American Naturalist. along with a perspective article by Deepa, Mrudula and Shivansh. Our Perspective piece summarizes a selection of recent advances in the field about the genesis, maintenance, and impact of genetic variation, and is meant to provide a broad overview of the field for newcomers and suggest open avenues for next steps. Read a summary of the section here, and check out all the papers linked on the page!
