Preface

For the fifteenth time, the evolutionary biology meeting (EBM) took place at Marseilles. This international annual meeting aims at allowing scientists of different disciplines to share a deep interest in evolutionary biology concepts, applications, in order to exchange and initiate interdisciplinary collaborations. The Evolutionary Biology Meeting at Marseilles is now recognised internationally as an important exchange platform and a booster for the use of evolutionary-based approaches in biology and also in other scientist areas. The outputs of the meeting are evidenced by numerous collaborations initiated at the meeting and achieved by several peer-reviewed articles published over the past years. This year, more than 100 presentations were selected by the EBM scientific committee. These
