Environmental changes threaten many species and ecosystems. To assess their impacts, we use a mathematical approach based on reaction dispersion models. I will investigate evolutionary adaptation of population structured by a phenotypic trait under a changing environment. I will derive PDE model from stochastic model and using Hamilton-Jacobi approach and large deviation technics, I will present some approximations of these models. Then I will present a new approach to track ancestral lineages in quantitative genetic model.
