Fishes make up about 50% of all living vertebrates and most vertebrate developmental processes and mechanisms evolved within fishes. The evolutionary-developmental investigation of fishes illuminates not only their exceptional biodiversity but also our own human origins from fish ancestors. Evo-Devo-ted laboratories around the globe are using a large variety of piscine model species in their research - from jawless to cartilaginous to ray-finned and teleost fishes and to lobe-finned fishes including fishapods.

In this 2-day Satellite Symposium, we will bring together the international Fish Evo-Devo community to discuss the advances and future of our field. Our program highlights the diversity of our community in terms of investigator backgrounds, career stages, research approaches, and fish model systems.

The program covers multiple topical sessions, an award session for postdocs and graduate students, flash talks associated with posters, and time for networking and discussion.

This satellite meeting is part of the EuroEvoDevo 2024 conference (June 25-28) and registration to the main conference is required to attend this symposium.
