Yet thanks to recent research, we now know that gene effects vary depending on environmental conditions. As a result, the development and physiology of individual organisms are profoundly shaped by the environment, often in adaptive ways. Remarkably, conditions during parental and grandparental generations can also play a surprisingly big role. At the same time, by virtue of their presence and activities, organisms change and often improve the environments they inhabit. Drawing on Sultan's work on environmental responses in plants, studies of animal behavior and development, and current research on human health, the lecture will explore the various ways that organisms and their environments construct each other, and the implications for our understanding of natural systems.Date and Time: Wednesday 11 November 2026, 15:30-17:00 GMTVenue: LSI seminar rooms A and B, Streatham Campus, University of ExeterOnline: via Zoom https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/fc935150-d74e-11f1-9f1b-13af6280af23-rimg-w530-h740-dc486848-gmir.png - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/exeter/re-thinking-the-relationship-between-organism-and-environment/100002002212840504 - **Event Categories**: workshops, health-wellness, art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: LSI Seminar Room A - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Exeter - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: LSI Seminar Room A - **lat**: 50.7370744 - **long**: -3.534886400000005 - **full address**: LSI Seminar Room A, University of Exeter, Living Systems Institute, Exeter, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Re-thinking the Relationship Between Organism and Environment - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/89319d512c4ddac20303f33e53ae00a9cc9c6c5386c5b3b205caaaba5ef6c797-rimg-w1200-h554-dc080808-gmir.png?v=1790548303 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Re-thinking the Relationship Between Organism and Environment being held? - **A:** Re-thinking the Relationship Between Organism and Environment takes place on Wed, 11 Nov, 2026 at 03:30 pm to Wed, 11 Nov, 2026 at 05:00 pm at LSI Seminar Room A, University of Exeter, Living Systems Institute, Exeter, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Re-thinking the Relationship Between Organism and Environment? - **A:** Re-thinking the Relationship Between Organism and Environment is organized by Egenis. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
