AGA's 2018 President, Rosemary Gillespie, is hosting a meeting to explore processes at the early stages of adaptive diversification --

·      The role of allopatry vs sympatry in fostering initial divergence
·      Interplay between isolation and mixing in divergence and adaptation
·      The role of plasticity in facilitating adaptation
·      The role and extent of hybridization and admixture
·      Repeated evolution of similar forms
·      Conditions that facilitate adaptive radiation

REGISTRATION -- EARLY BIRD rate till MAY 1st

Registration cost is $200 until May 1st, and includes all talks, the opening pupu reception and closing luau, lunches and coffee breaks.  And, ALL REGISTRANTS receive a 3-YEAR AGA membership.  

•           After you have registered, we encourage all those that are interested to submit abstracts for posters.  Abstract submission will end when 50 abstracts have been accepted.

    ABOUT GUEST REGISTRATIONS: 

Guests are welcomed to stay with you at Hawaii Preparatory Academy, and/or come to the opening reception and ending luau.  Guests should register as if they are participants.  For guests attending the two evening events, register at the $50 guest rate, which includes both - there is no option for attending only one event.  For guests who are staying at HPA, but not attending events, register at the $0 guest rate.  Both the meeting participant and guest should click the $180 double occupancy rate if staying at HPA (which includes meals not otherwise included), and enter the name of the person they are sharing with. 

Guests must register with a different email, as that is how each registration is linked to a person.

If you plan to bring kids, please email Anjanette at theaga@theaga.org for further info.
