The GfÖ is an independent, nonprofit scientific organisation founded in 1970. We aim to promote basic and applied ecological science, encourage collaborative work of all ecological disciplines and represent ecological interests in public. [Information of the supplier, modified]
We are excited to announce that in 2015, the ETH Zurich will host the Annual Conference of the Society for Tropical Ecology (Gesellschaft für Tropenökologie, gtö), focusing on "Resilience of Tropical Ecosystems: Future challenges and opportunities." The conference provides an exciting and friendly atmosphere for tropical ecologists at all levels of their career. A priority is to maximize interactions among delegates, practitioners and policy makers. Ultimately, this meeting will provide a platform for tropical ecologists to work together to ensure resilient tropical ecosystems. We welcome contributions from all fields of Tropical Ecology. ...

The seventh annual meeting of the Specialist Group on Macroecology will be held from 13-15 March in Göttingen. This meetings shall provide a platform for interaction between young and established macroecologists and to learn about the most recent and most exciting developments in our discipline. The conference language will be English. We are very happy that we will have Peter Linder ( Department of Systematic Botany, Zurich) and Jens-Christian Svenning (Department of Bioscience - Ecoinformatics and Biodiversity, Aarhus) as keynote speakers. ...

Welcome to the 27th Conference of the Plant Population Biology Section (PopBio) of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria and Switzerland (GfÖ), which will be held in Konstanz from 29th to 31st May 2014. PopBio is the annual international meeting for people working in the field of plant population biology and ecology. We will have two and a half days of exciting presentations. For those interested in visiting the largest nature reserve at the shore of Lake Constance, we also offer a half-day excursion to the local Wollmatinger Ried nature reserve. We have invited five top keynote speakers who will cover a diverse set of hot topics in plant population biology and ecology. Last but not least, on Friday night we'll gather for a conference dinner, with the Alps, Lake of Constance and the isle of Mainau as a glorious background to food and festivity. Mohamed Badawi and his band will bring along their drums. We, the Ecology group at the University of Konstanz, are very happy to invite you to Lake Constance and we are looking forward to your visit! ... [Information of the supplier]
In 2014, the University of Hildesheim will host the 44th Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The meeting will take place from September 8th to 12th, 2014 in Hildesheim, Germany. The guiding theme of the 44th Annual Meeting is "Integrating ecological knowledge into nature conservation and ecosystem management". Along the lines of this guiding theme, we will stimulate scientific discussions on basic and applied ecological topics as well as on nature conservation and management. Special focus will be given to: biodiversity research (e.g. diversity of genes, species and ecosystems; threats and conservation), ecosystem functioning (e.g. ecosystem services, processes and functions, ecological dynamics), species and populations (e.g. interactions, competition, adaption, survival, community assembly, past and current pattern), ecosystem types (e.g. marine, aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems; from polar to tropical regions, from lowlands to mountains), global change effects (e.g. climate change, land use change, nutrient deposition, invasive species), management (e.g. general and international approaches, restoration ecology, sustainable land management), conservation approaches and (e.g. linking ecological knowledge to nature conservation, environmental education, sustainability, community conservation, socio-ecological approaches, policy advice). ...

The University of Bayreuth welcomes the International Biogeography Society for its 7th international conference. This modern research university has a major focus on ecological research housed in the Bayreuth Center for Ecology and Environmental Research (BayCEER). Novel concepts for research and teaching are established such as the Ecological-Botanical Gardens and the Global Change Ecology study program. The surroundings of Bayreuth are characterized by outstanding geological and climatic heterogeneity. Isolated fragments of natural ecosystems occur within a highly diverse cultural landscape. It was in the district of Bayreuth where Alexander von Humboldt, a leader in the early history of biogeography, gained his first experience in fieldwork after he finished his studies. At the end of the 18th century, before travelling the world, he worked as director of mining for the regional administration. Various places close to Bayreuth are linked to his scientific development. The conference will be marked by four plenary symposia, keynote lectures by the awardees of the society’s Alfred Russel Wallace Award and the MacArthur and Wilson Award, contributed paper sessions, and dynamic poster sessions over the lunch and evening. Topical focus sessions will span the breadth of biogeography, from watersheds to the global scale, from Paleozoic to the Anthropocene, and from microbes to megafauna. ...

This conference discusses fundamental questions of evolution and ecology. It explores the use of model organisms amenable to experimental studies of evolution and ecology. It focuses on unicellular eukaryotic systems, but contains examples from other organisms. [Information of the supplier]
The guiding theme of the 45th Annual Meeting is "Ecology for a Sustainable Future". Along the lines of this guiding theme, we will stimulate scientific discussions on basic and applied ecological topics as well as on nature conservation and management. Special focus will be given to: Species, populations and ecosystems (e.g. interactions, competition, adaption, survival, community assembly, past and current pattern, all types of ecosystems); ecosystem functioning (e.g. ecosystem services, processes and functions, ecological dynamics); global change effects (e.g. climate change, land use change, nutrient deposition, invasive species, mitigation, effects on biodiversity); impact of land use (biodiversity, ecosystem functions, restoration ecology, sustainable land management); conservation approaches (e.g. linking ecological knowledge to nature conservation, environmental education, sustainability, community conservation, socio-ecological approaches, policy advice). ...

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]
