Biodiversity Science is facing enormous challenges as the pressures upon the earth’s biotic systems are rapidly intensifying and we are unlikely to reach the CBD 2020 Aichi Targets. But how far or close are we to reach the targets? The GEO BON Open Science Conference on “Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Monitoring for the 2020 Targets and beyond” will assess this question. The conference is open to the wide scientific public and is sponsored and co-organized by iDiv, UFZ, SASCAL (others to come). The conference will foster scientifically sound biodiversity monitoring by in-situ and remote sensing methodologies, monitoring of ecosystem services, modeling of biodiversity at all scales and in all dimensions and especially encourage interdisciplinary research. It will show ways forward in biodiversity observation and the development of Essential Biodiversity Variables. ... [Information of the supplier]
Welcome to the European Ecosystem Services 2016 conference! The theme 'Helping nature to help us' focuses on the important role that healthy ecosystems play in supporting human well-being and the protection of nature. This conference will be the biggest European event in 2016 that links science, policy and practice on ecosystem services and natural capital. It will have a strong focus on practice and implementation. ... [Information of the supplier]
The conference is organised by the "Biodiversity and Ecosystem Scenarios Network (ScenNet)", funded by the Belmont Forum, and supported by the FRB and bioDISCOVERY, a core project of Future Earth. The conference covers scenarios and modelling applications in marine, freshwater and terrestrial systems, across all relevant disciplines of natural and social sciences. The conference is open to scientists and experts working in the field, policy makers and practioners, and focuses on: Exploring recent advances in modelling human impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services; Addressing the use of scenarios and models for decision support; Mobilising observations of biodiversity and ecosystem services for model development and testing; Capacity building for developing scenarios and models and for their use in decision making; and, Horizon scanning and addressing gaps in knowledge. ...

This years meeting is being held in partnership with a SETAC special topic meeting entitled "Environmental and (eco)toxicological Omics and Epigenetics". As with previous years the aim of the conference is to bring together researchers and organisations from a range of disciplines with shared interests in the development of new approaches for data handling, generation and analysis in environmental omics. The meeting will include diverse sessions on science areas spanning; Archeogenomics (aDNA and ancient eDNA), Evolutionary Genomics, Metagenomics, Systems Ecotoxicology and Environmental Epigenetics. This latter topic will be expanded to consdier the Science, Technology and Regulatory Applications. It is our hope is that the resulting interaction and exchange of ideas will lead to novel approaches, new collaborations and the establishment of a wider integrated ‘Omic community. ...

From pattern and process to people and action - The congress theme reflects that landscape ecology as a meeting point, where pattern and process meet people and action, seen as a way of thinking when dealing with European landscapes. We want to put emphasis on the integration of pattern and process as a biophysical component of landscape ecology with people and action, bringing in the social and cultural approaches. This requires a true interaction of natural and social sciences, of science, policy and practice. Therefor we see the congress as an opportunity to reflect on the state of the art of landscape ecology today. Furthermore, the challenge of the congress is what the future directions are of landscape ecology as a social relevant approach for science, policy and practice. ... [Information of the supplier]
The 9th world conference of the Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP) will be held in Shenzhen, China from 11-15 December 2017. It will boast a broad range of topics on the latest state-of-the-art on the science, policy and practice of Ecosystem Services. The overarching theme will likely focus on the role of ecosystem services in ecosystem restoration and nature based solutions in natural, rural and urban areas. The ESP world conferences are organised bi-annually and rotate over the continents to reach a diverse audience. This year we will target Asia, after hosting the 8th world conference in South Africa, Africa in 2015. ... [Information of the supplier]
ESP is happy to announce that our 10th world conference will take place in Hannover, Germany from 21-25 October, 2019. It was in Germany that we first started our ESP conferences in 2008. Hence, we decided to celebrate our 10th world conference anniversary in Germany. The ESP10 conference locations are the Leibniz University for the opening day on Monday, and the Hannover Congress Centre for the rest of the conference. ... [Information of the supplier]

Das Projekt "Cyberinfrastructure for Phylogenetic Research (CIPRES)" ist ein offener Zusammenschluß unter Finanzierung durch die National Science Foundation der USA. Beteiligt sind Biologen, Informatiker, Statistiker und Mathematiker an dreizehn Institutionen. Das Ziel von CIPRES ist es, übergreifende phylogenetische Rekonstruktionen in einem Maßstab zu ermöglichen, der Analysen sehr großer Datenmengen mit Hundertausenden biomolekularer Sequenzen erlaubt. Es sollen neuartige Lösungen für bioinformatische Probleme im Zusammenhang mit evolutionären Zusammenhängen gefunden werden. Das Projekt ist auf 5 Jahre angelegt (2003-2008) und soll zu einer nationalen biosystematischen Computer-Infrastruktur führen. ... [Information des Anbieters, übersetzt und verändert]
