The year 2012 marks the 20th anniversary for Molecular Ecology. To celebrate the tremendous advances that have been made in this research area, as well as to brainstorm about the future of the field, the journal is sponsoring a Molecular Ecology Symposium on 6th July 2012 in Ottawa, the day before Evolution 2012 gets underway. The structure of the meeting will follow the basic format of Molecular Ecology, with plenary talks in each of the journal subject areas, followed by panel discussions that focus on future advances.
