The Hennig Society was founded in 1980 with the expressed purpose of promoting the field of Phylogenetic Systematics. The Society has a strong international character meeting once a year, typically only every other year in North America. The meeting "Hennig XXXII" will be helb in Rostock, Germany, August 2nd to 7th, 2013. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The Dresden Meetings on Insect Phylogeny are dedicated to a broad variety of topics concerning the phylogeny of insects. This includes both the interordinal and intraordinal levels, both morphological and molecular work, and both extant and fossil taxa, as well as occasional methodological contributions. The 6th Dresden Meeting on Insect Phylogeny (2013) will not have a particular focus but will generally deal with frontline topics of phylogenetic research in insects. There will be about 25 invited talks presented by high-profile specialists. In addition, there is the possibility to submit free oral presentations and posters. The language of the Meeting is English. ... [Information of the supplier]
The molecular revolution has led to an explosion of phylogenetic research that has both confirmed many long-standing hypotheses as well as forcing us to rethink many others. A more recent, associated development is that of divergence-time estimation, resulting in so-called "timetrees". Whereas phylogenies can only present hypotheses of evolutionary relationships and character evolution, timetrees add an important temporal component to expand our research questions to include investigations of what historical events might have helped drive the evolution of a given structure or taxon. Although all divergence-time estimates are ultimately based on fossil information (including paleogeographic events), the coupling of these data with DNA sequence data has led to a much more comprehensive set of estimates, given that the fossil record alone can only date a subset of the nodes in a tree and often not as precisely as desired. Whereas molecular phylogenetics is well established in Germany, research into timetrees is in its comparative infancy with respect to both its methodological and applied, empirical aspects. Instead, much of the initiative in this area comes from outside of Germany. By presenting a symposium covering diverse aspects of timetrees, we hope to stimulate interest in this developing field of phylogenetics. ... [Information of the supplier]

This includes both the interordinal and intraordinal levels, both morphological and molecular work, and both extant and fossil taxa, as well as occasional methodological contributions. The 7th Dresden Meeting on Insect Phylogeny (2015) will not have a particular focus but will generally deal with frontline topics of phylogenetic research in insects. There will be ca. 30 talks presented by high-profile specialists, plus many poster presentations. The language of the Meeting is English. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin and the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin are glad to welcome you to the 2016 GGBN conference, held from June 21 through June 24, 2016, in Berlin, Germany. The Global Genome Biodiversity Network is a collaborative effort to cryo-preserve and provide access to genomic samples from across the Tree of Life. Sessions and Workshops are planned on: Concerted collecting and sampling strategies to preserve the Tree of Life; Sampling the lost world in Natural History collections; Nagoya Protocol: consequences and solutions; Knowledge exchange: natural history meets applied biobanking; and Implementing GGBN standards and best practices. ...

Das diesjährige Symposium wird eine zentrale Frage der Evolutionsbiologie behandeln: Was bestimmt die Form von Strukturen? Wieso sehen Tiere, Pflanzen und ihre Organe so aus, wie sie aussehen? Meist wird die Antwort (die Ebene der Kausalität) den Feldern der Synthetischen oder Erweiterten Evolutionstheorie bzw. auf Strukturebene oft auch der Evolutionären Entwicklungsbiologie zugeordnet. Damit bleiben aber andere Aspekte der organismischen Evolutionsbiologie außen vor. Unter dem Konzept der ‚Evolutionären Morphologie‘ haben wir versucht, kausale Bedingtheiten der Vielgestaltigkeit des Lebens zusammenzufassen. Das genaue Label spielt natürlich gar keine Rolle, aber diejenigen, die fasziniert von der Vielgestaltigkeit des Lebens sind, sind aus unserer Sicht eigentlich immer auch „Morphologen“. Die Eingangsfrage erscheint also gerade in Zeiten der Dominanz funktionell-genomischer Sichtweisen interessanter denn je. Das kommende „Phylogenetische Symposium“ soll sich dieser Frage widmen. Die Themen der Vorträge umfassen so unterschiedliche Aspekte wie Form/Funktion, Evo-Devo, Ökomorphologie, Sexuelle Selektion, Koevolution, und Phylogenetische Bürde. ... [Information des Anbieters]
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]

ISMB 2013 will bring together scientists from a wide range of disciplines, including biology, medicine, computer science, mathematics and statistics. In these fields we are constantly dealing with information in visual form: from microscope images and photographs of gels to scatter plots, network graphs and phylogenetic trees, structural formulae and protein models to flow diagrams, visual aids for problem-solving are omnipresent. Some of the works of the annual exhibitions at the conference combines outstanding beauty and aesthetics with deep insight that perfectly proves the validity of our approach or goes beyond the problem's solution. Others were surprising and inspiring through the transition from science to art, opening our eyes and minds to reflect on the work that we are undertaking. ... [Information of the supplier]
The 2nd EMBO Conference on Visualizing Biological Data (VIZBI 2014) - also the 5th international meeting on this topic - will be held from the 5th to the 7th of March 2014 at EMBL-Heidelberg in Germany. VIZBI brings together scientists, illustrators, and designers actively using or developing computational visualization to study a diverse range of biological data. The conference features 21 invited talks that review the state-of-the-art and challenges in visualizing data from genomes, transcripts, proteins, cells, organisms, and populations. Prior to the meeting, on 4th March, will be 12 tutorials on key visualization tools & methods. Tutorial topics will be decided by the call for Tutorial Proposals, and be finalized in December. ...
