Ein großes Hindernis für die Verknüpfung von Evolution und Ökologie war für lange Zeit die Tatsache, dass für viele Modellorganismen der Genetik bzw. Molekulargenetik ökologische Daten fehlten, während umgekehrt für die bevorzugten Objekte evolutionsökologischer Forschung molekularbiologische und genetische Erkenntnisse kaum verfügbar waren. Die noch anhaltende Revolutionierung der Sequenzierungstechnologien verändert die Situation grundlegend. Das Symposium soll die neuen Möglichkeiten erkunden und diskutieren, die sich aktuell für die Verknüpfung von Evolution und Ökologie ergeben. ... [Information des Anbieters, übersetzt und verändert]
Zoology 2015 (22nd former Benelux Congress of Zoology), will be held from 8 - 9 October 2015 in Amsterdam (the Netherlands). Four general topics will be illustrated by four keynote speakers: Evolution of development of behaviour, Ecological forecasting, Eco-evolutionary dynamics, and Microbe-(in)vertebrate interactions. While keynote speakers will give presentations related to the general topics of the congress, researchers from all fields of Animal Sciences (ethology, ecology, oceanology and hydrobiology, taxonomy, morphology, evolutionary biology, paleontology, physiology, cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, etc.) will present their work in oral presentations and posters. ...

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. ...

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]

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. ...

Phylogenetics is concerned with what is probably the most important problem in biology: reconstructing the evolutionary history of present-day organisms from molecular data, such as DNA, or morphological characters. Hidden from view, in phylogenetics software packages used by biologists, are algorithms implementing stochastic and combinatorial methods on binary trees, as well as more general network structures. The mathematics involved represent a unique confluence of probability theory, discrete mathematics, stochastic methods, and statistical inference, as well as algebraic methods such as group theory. There are many important theoretical and practical problems that arise, such as statistical identifiability of models, consistency and convergence of methods. These problems can only be solved using a multi-disciplinary approach. Phylomania brings together internationally recognised experts, with the aim of discussing the pressing research problems in 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]
