The posters can be mounted on Wednesday, March 20, 2013 from 13:00 hrs CET on. The dismantling of posters should not start before Friday, March 22, 2013. Please removed your poster on Friday between 13:00 and 15:30 hrs CET. All posters that have not been dismantled and removed at this time will be removed by authorised representatives of GfH. Poster Exhibition takes place in the ICD Foyer. Authors were asked to be present at their poster booths during the poster session. The best scored abstracts, which could not be selected for oral presentation, will compete for the 4 GfH Poster Awards 2013 (each 500 Euro).

Dear colleague, it is our pleasure to host the 8th Central European Workshop of Myrmecology in Regensburg. Ants have played a large role in zoological research at the University of Regensburg for almost 20 years, and today the team at the chair of evolutionary biology and zoology at UR is among the largest groups devoted to the study of ants in Central Europe. We are looking forward to three days of fascinating talks and presentations about our most favorite pet animals and are quite optimistic that also the post-congress tour through the surroundings of Regensburg will meet the needs of any myrmecologist. But when coming to Regensburg you should not forget to take the chance to enjoy the vibrancy of a city with a bi-millennial history, with the largest medieval city center north of the Alps, a picturesque urban landscape and lots of beer gardens. You are cordially invited to experience the 8th CEWM in Regensburg and we are looking forward to meeting you and enjoying your contribution. More information about how to register and details of the program will be added to the webpage in early 2019. ... [Information of the supplier]
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]

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]
