The 2022 edition of TiBE - Trends in Biodiversity and Evolution will be devoted to THE BIOLOGY OF COLOUR. Colour is a central aspect of the biology of many living beings, contributing to mediate their relationship with members of their own species and their ecosystem.

During three days, we will discuss recent trends in the study of the evolutionary and functional significance of colour in nature integrating knowledge from biologists working on multiple aspects of colouration.

Held in an informal but stimulating scientific atmosphere, these conferences provide an excellent opportunity for strong interaction and brainstorming between students and more experienced researcher

The conference will be structured in four sessions, covering different topics. Each session will open with a plenary conference by a leading researcher in the topic, and will be followed by oral communications. A poster session will take place at the end of the first day of talks.

Session 1 - Genetics and Evolution of Colour
Plenary talk: Marie Manceau (Collège de France, Paris)

Session 2 - Mechanisms of Colour Production
Plenary talk: Dvir Gur (Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot)

Session 3 - Behavioural Ecology and Signalling
Plenary talk: Claire Doutrelant (Centre d'Écologie Fonctionnelle et Évolutive, Montpellier)

Session 4 - Colouration Biology in a Changing World
Plenary talk: Ilik Saccheri (University of Liverpool, Liverpool)
