In dieser Konferenz werden grundlegende Fragen der Evolution und Ökologie diskutiert. Die Konferenz untersucht die Verwendung von Modellorganismen, die für experimentelle Studien der Evolution und Ökologie zugänglich sind. Es erfolgt eine Fokussierung auf einzellige eukaryotische Systeme, aber auch Beispiele von anderen Organismen werden behandelt. ... [Information des Anbieters, übersetzt]
Das Motto unserer Tagung lautet: "Ökologie für eine nachhaltige Zukunft". Damit möchten wir unter anderem zu Diskussionen anregen welchen Beitrag ökologische Forschung zu einem umfassend nachhaltigen Umgang mit den natürlichen Ressourcen leisten kann. Wie hängen z. B. Landnutzung, Biodiversität und Ökosystemfunktionen zusammen? Was lernen wir aus ökologischer Grundlagenforschung für einen zeitgemäßen Naturschutz? Wie werden sich Klimawandel und Stickstoffdeposition auf terrestrische und aquatische Ökosysteme und deren Funktionalität auswirken? Die Diskussion dieser und ähnlicher Fragen soll die Tagung zu einem Ort des lebendigen wissenschaftlichen Austauschs machen, aber auch zu Debatten über adäquate Handlungsalternativen für einen nachhaltigeren Umgang mit Ökosystemen anregen. ...

This symposium focuses on the interface of ecology and evolutionary genetics, with special emphasis placed on the interaction between organisms as a basis for understanding ecological adaptation. New sequencing-based methods are bridging the gap between modern genetics and systems-level ecological studies. This is paralleled by dramatic improvements in imaging and remote sensing, with which one can capture both spatial and temporal components of dynamic interactions between individuals and their natural environment. ...

In the year 1866 Ernst Haeckel introduced the term “Ecology”. The guiding theme of the 46th Annual Meeting is therefore "150 years of ecology – lessons for the future". The overarching aim of the conference is to stimulate a critical assessment of the status quo of the different disciplines of ecology. At the same time and taking into account the latest developments in ecological research we will address the following questions: Where are we? What have we learned? What are the gaps? What are the challenges for the future? We aim to present an outstanding and interesting program covering the diversity of ecological research. ... [Information of the supplier]
We are pleased to announce that the "European Conference of Tropical Ecology" and the Annual Conference of the Society for Tropical Ecology (Gesellschaft für Tropenökologie, gtö) in 2016 will be hosted by the University of Göttingen and the German Primate Center (www.gtoe-2016.de). Located near the geographical center of Europe, Göttingen is the right place for a European conference. The overarching topic will be "Tropical diversity, ecology and land use", reflecting the broad spectrum of tropical research in Göttingen on one hand and the need for integrating research and land use practices in the tropics. The conference will take place from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 February 2016, at the Faculty of Geoscience and Geography of the University of Göttingen. It will provide a forum for the scientific exchange between tropical ecologists at all levels of their career, for the personal interaction in a friendly and international atmosphere and for establishing new contacts and cooperation. We particularly encourage students and young scientists to participate in this event. Contributions from all fields within tropical ecology are welcome. ... [Information of the supplier]
Ökologie und Evolution versuchen, die Diversität des Lebendigen zu verstehen, einschließlich der Diversität von Arten, ihres genetischen Inventars, der Diversität von Funktionen, Interaktionen und Artengemeinschaften, wie Arten und Artengemeinschaften evolvieren, sich ausbreiten und vergehen. Viele neue Ideen und methodische Ansätze werden gegenwärtig in dem Feld entwickelt, wo sich diese beiden Disziplinen begegnen. Das betrifft sowohl die Ebene der Mikro- als auch der Makroevolution, beispielsweise die Untersuchung der Entstehung von Biodiversitätshotspots, die Auswirkungen von Klimawandel auf die Verbreitung und evolutive Adaptation von Arten und Artengemeinschaften oder genomweite Analysen adaptiver Merkmale in Populationen. Präsentiert werden jüngste Fortschritte in der Evolutionsökologie, ihre Bedeutung für die Phylogenetik und Biodiversitätsforschung, und umgekehrt. Als Rednerinnen und Redner zugesagt haben: Alexandre Antonelli (Göteborg), Christoph Bleidorn (Madrid), Erika Edwards (Providence, Rhode Island), Susanne Fritz (Frankfurt), Catherine Graham (New York), Christian Lexer (Wien), Susanne Renner (München), Marten Winter (Leipzig). Poster-Präsentationen von Studierenden und Postdocs sind willkommen! Die Deadline für die Einreichung von Abstracts ist der 15. September 2016. Bitte senden Sie Ihre Abstracts an Martin Schlegel. Bitte registrieren Sie sich online. Für das Symposium werden keine Teilnahmegebühren erhoben! Wir freuen uns, Sie bald in Leipzig willkommen zu heißen! ... [Information des Anbieters]
In this symposium international speakers will review how organisms not only respond to the Earth’s surface, but also directly modify and control it to promote their own persistence. Plants and animals can directly control the fluxes of energy and matter that underlie biogeochemical cycles, gas fluxes, sediment transport and form new habitats. Recent recognition of biotic interactions with Earth surface processes has led to a new Geoscience paradigm: The Earth’s surface is not only the product of tectonic forces (mountain building) and climate (destroying relief by weathering and erosion), but also through biotic processes that are active over micro- to macroscopic scales. Biota moderates tectonic and climate controls on surface processes and is an equally important player in shaping the Earth. This symposium will review the findings that triggered this paradigm shift, for example that the activity of biota extends to great depth (the “deep biosphere”),,soil development is related to plant diversity and burrowing animals,,plants diverge the flow and evaporation of water, higher plants can induce the uptake of mineral nutrients that vastly exceeds the rock weathering of these elements, vegetation moderates soil erosion, large river floodplains are stabilized by plants. The symposium will combine geoscience, soil, ecology, hydrology, and geobiology research to discuss how new developments in each of these fields should be employed to quantify the entire chain of Earth surface processes influenced by biotic activities, and how these developments can be used to form predictions of global change. ...

ISME17 is the 17th edition of our symposium which takes place every two years. The conference is the front runner in the field of microbial ecology, with an average of around 1,750 international scientists that attend the conference. Our next edition will take place in charming Leipzig, a city used to bringing people together, as the very first trade fair in the world took place here, back in the 12th century. The city also harbors a rich cultural history, when it comes to music and the performing arts. Composers Bach and Mendelssohn Bartholdy and philosophers Goethe, Nietsche and Leibniz all called the city their home. Being a true university city, there is a strong local scientific community, ready to show you their city. ... [Information of the supplier]
Agricultural landscapes are shaped by human activities and are subject to permanent change through the interplay of natural processes, land use and societal developments. Knowledge about the underlying processes of landscape dynamics at all relevant spatial and temporal scales is the prerequisite for sustainable landscape management. The aim of the conference is to present recent advances in landscape research to enhance the development of sustainable agricultural land use and landscape strategies. The particular objective is to bring together key findings from relevant disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches as well as from basic and application-oriented research. ...

Welcome to the 10th International Conference on Ecological Informatics. The conference aims to bring together researchers interested in data-intensive ecology – both from an ecological and a computer science point of view. After successful biennial conferences in France, Australia, Italy, South Korea, United States, Mexico, Belgium, Brazil, and China, the 10th International Conference on Ecological Informatics will be hosted in Jena, Germany, 24-28 September. ...
