A conference of the
American Society of Naturalists
5-8 January 2018
Asilomar Conference Grounds Pacific Grove, California
Copyright © 2018 American Society of Naturalists
1
The American Society of Naturalists invites graduate students, postdocs, faculty and other professionals from ecology, evolution, behavior, genetics, physiology, and associated fields to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the founding of The American Naturalist at our stand alone meeting at the Asilomar Conference Grounds on 5-8 January 2018.
This meeting will celebrate the influence of The American Naturalist and demonstrate the ASN's unique ability to unify broad conceptual themes across biology by integrating theory with data and by using new technological tools to address long-standing questions. In short, this conference will showcase what it means to be a naturalist and researcher in the 21st century.
A diverse array of biologists who might not normally encounter one another at various discipline-specific meetings will gather to create a public forum where graduate students, postdocs, faculty and other professionals can define new research directions that work towards unifying the biological sciences. The meeting is not restricted to ASN members, but newcomers are encouraged to join the society. The conference will be kept small to encourage interaction and conversation in the naturally beautiful setting of the Monterey Peninsula at the Asilomar Conference Grounds.
In March, 1867, four graduate assistants in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College published the first issue of The American Naturalist. You can read more about the history here. The introductory article in The American Naturalist described the mission of their new journal in the following terms.
If the reader, however slight his intercourse with nature may have been, shall find something in these pages to stimulate his zeal, and direct his mind to the right methods of investigation, and also teach him new facts concerning the haunts and habits of his favorites of the wood, the lake and the seashore, the great aim of this journal will be accomplished.
... Such, then, shall be the leading object of the journal—to amuse the reader, perhaps decoy him within the temple of nature; and, if he be a willing student, instruct him in some of its mysteries.
This conference of the American Society of Naturalists—itself founded 16 years later in 1883—celebrates the 150 years of rich history of The American Naturalist and hopefully in some small measure accomplishes the aspirations of the founders. The American Society of Naturalists emphasizes the value of interdisciplinary research and collaborations between diverse biologists to achieve conceptual unification across the biological sciences.
This conference will showcase what it means to be a naturalist and researcher in the 21st century. We hope you will instruct us in some the mysteries of nature that you have solved.

Code of Conduct
The following is the Code of Conduct for meetings that was approved by the various councils of the American Society of Naturalists, the Society for the Study of Evolution, and the Society for the Study of Systematic Biology in February 2017. This Code of Conduct will apply to the participants of this meeting at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in January 2018. Participants will be expected to endorse this Code of Conduct when they register and adhere to its principles when they attend the meeting.
For this meeting, members of the Executive Committee of the ASN and others responsible for dealing with allegations of harassment will be identified with unique conference badges, so that those wishing to confidentially report an incident can do so immediately.
Code of Conduct for Evolution Meetings — approved February 2017
The Evolution Meetings are intended to foster the exchange of scientific ideas, providing participants with an opportunity to present research findings, establish/renew collaborations, recruit people to their laboratories, and learn, teach, and network with an international community of evolutionary biologists. The Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE), the American Society of Naturalists (ASN), and the Society of Systematic Biologists (SSB) are committed to creating an environment where everyone can participate without harassment, discrimination, or violence of any kind. All meeting participants must be treated with respect and consideration. Registration for the meeting is considered an agreement to abide by this code of conduct.
Harassment of any participant (attendee, speaker, volunteer, exhibitor, staff member, service provider, organizer, or meeting guest) will not be tolerated. Unacceptable behavior includes (but is not limited to) unwanted verbal attention, unwanted touching, intimidation, stalking, shaming, or bullying. Discrimination on the basis of gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, physical appearance, race, religion, national origin, or ethnicity will not be tolerated. Harassment presented in a joking manner is still harassment and constitutes unacceptable behavior. Retaliation for reporting harassment is also unacceptable, as is reporting an incident in bad faith.
People wishing to report a violation of this code of conduct should immediately contact a member of the Joint Meeting Committee (JMC) or any member of the executive councils of SSE, ASN, or SSB. Incidents of harassment and discrimination are taken extremely seriously. Confidentiality will be maintained unless disclosure is legally required.
The meeting organizers, members of the JMC, and Society executive officers reserve the right to enforce this code of conduct in any manner deemed appropriate. Anyone violating the code of conduct may be: (a) asked to stop, (b) expelled from the meeting (without refund), and/or (c) prohibited from attending future meetings.
Establishing this code of conduct is intended to prevent incidents of harassment, discrimination, and violence, and to maintain the high quality of scientific discourse that our members have come to expect from the Evolution meetings.

Symposium I: Maladaptive Evolution Saturday, 6 January 2018, 1:00-5:30 PM Organizers: Steven Brady, Andrew Hendry, Andrew Gonzalez Throughout the history of evolutionary biology, scientists have marveled at adaptation and trained their sights on the ways that natural selection shapes the evolution of fitness advantages. Indeed, the terms adaptation and evolution have become nearly synonymous. By contrast, the processes and occurrences of maladaptation (the evolution of relative and absolute fitness declines) have received less attention. This relative lack of inquiry into maladaptation is surprising when we consider that the overwhelming majority of species that have ever existed are now extinct, making clear the inescapable and pervasive nature of maladaptation. Indeed, literature reviews indicate that even in contexts where local adaptation is expected, maladaptation is present in about 1/3 of the cases. Maladaptation, it seems, is as much a product of evolutionary dynamics as is adaptation. Despite the apparent prevalence of maladaptive evolution, we understand very little about its dynamics and distribution. For example, each year the number of papers concerning adaptive evolution exceeds that of maladaptive evolution by an order of magnitude. Importantly, the few studies formally emphasizing and studying maladaptation have received only modest attention, perhaps because their fragmented and scattered appearance in the literature makes them seem like exceptions to the general rule of strong adaptation. We hope that this symposium will pave the way to a more balanced study of evolution by catalyzing the development of insights into the phenomenon of maladaptation. By showing that maladaptation is actually common and potentially increasing—and by providing a clear approach for studying and communicating maladaptation—we hope to foster the development of a more balanced study of evolution, one that accurately characterizes both adaptive and maladaptive fitness dynamics.
Symposium II: 150 Years of The American Naturalist Sunday, 7 January 2018, 1:00-5:30 PM & Monday, 8 January 2018, 1:00-5:30 PM Organizers: Daniel I. Bolnick, Judith L. Bronstein The American Naturalist is the oldest scientific journal published in North America. Over its 150-year history, the journal has had a huge impact on how we understand the natural world. To celebrate the journal’s past impact, and chart its current course and future, we will hold a symposium at the Asilomar meeting, on the afternoons of January 7 and 8. Rather than organizing the symposium around a single theme, we will showcase some of the breadth of ideas published in the journal. Each talk will highlight one or more influential past papers published in The American Naturalist. The talks will trace the history of how the classic paper(s) have affected the field in general, the speaker’s own work, and the future of the field. We solicited applications for the talks, placing particular weight on attracting proposals by junior researchers. Applications were reviewed by a committee.

Awards Graduate Student Travel Grant—To facilitate graduate students attending the conference, ASN will award a small number of travel grants to randomly selected graduate students. When registering, current graduate students may choose to be considered for a travel grant.
In addition to the regular annual ASN awards to be presented at the summer meeting, three awards will be presented at the Asilomar conference: Ed Ricketts Award will be given for the outstanding student oral presentation. In honor of the naturalist and zoologist Ed Ricketts (the model for ‘Doc’ in John Steinbeck’s book Cannery Row), the ASN will present the winning student with a plaque and $400 award. When registering a talk, current undergraduate, masters, or PhD students may choose to be considered for this award.
Ruth Patrick Student Poster Award will be given for the outstanding student poster. The winning presenter will receive a plaque and $400 award. When registering a poster, current undergraduate, masters, or PhD students may choose to be considered for this award. This award honors Ruth Patrick, a prominent botanist and limnologist who won the 1996 National Medal of Science.
Don Abbott Postdoctoral Research Award will be given for the outstanding contributed presentation (talk or poster) by a current postdoc. The award commemorates Don Abbott, a professor at Stanford University and Hopkins Marine Station, an outstanding teacher and marine invertebrate researcher. The winning presenter will receive a plaque and a $400 award. When registering a talk, current postdoctoral researchers may choose to be considered for this award.
