The Trends in Biodiversity and Evolution (TiBE) conference is an annual meeting organized by BIOPOLIS-CIBIO providing a platform for senior researchers, as well as post-graduate and graduate students, to present and discuss the latest developments in evolutionary biology and related fields. Topics covered include speciation, molecular evolution, comparative genomics, and population and conservation genetics, among others. Held in an informal yet stimulating atmosphere, the conference fosters learning, exchange and collaboration within the scientific community.

TiBE 2025 is devoted to the theme Biodiversity, Evolution, and Conservation in Deserts and Arid Regions and will focus on the diverse flora, fauna, and human communities of these ecosystems. 

Over two days, we will explore the knowledge about desert biodiversity, the factors shaping biodiversity in these ecosystems, examine the impacts of global changes, and analyse the current actions being developed to ensure the long-term conservation of desert biodiversity. The event will bring together leading scientists, researchers, students, and practitioners to discuss recent advancements and foster collaborations on innovative solutions for conserving and sustainably managing biodiversity in deserts and arid regions.
