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]
After a long and successful career as Europe’s first truly operational system for global monitoring of vegetation, the mission is now nearing the end of its life cycle. But the story continues! The role of SPOT-VEGETATION will be taken over by ESA’s technologically advanced PROBA-V mission from the summer of 2013 onwards. To celebrate with us the operational and scientific achievements of SPOT-VEGETATION and to look forward to the intriguing perspectives that will offered to the user’s community by PROBA-V, BELSPO and VITO are delighted to invite you to the conference “PROBING VEGETATION”. ...

The focus of BIOGEOMON is on the biogeochemistry of forest and natural ecosystems as influenced by anthropogenic and environmental factors. We invite empirical and modeling studies on fluxes and processes related to the turnover of major and trace elements at the ecosystem, watershed, landscape, and global scale. The conference is hosted by the Bayreuth Center of Ecology and Environmental Research (BayCEER). ... [Information of the supplier]
Die HABMON-Konferenz wendet sich an Wissenschaftler, Vertreter von Verwaltungen, Stiftungen, Gutachter- und Umweltbüros und Naturschutzverbänden sowie an die naturschutzfachlich interessierte Öffentlichkeit. Sie soll zum einen Erkenntnisse und Schlussfolgerungen aus dem Projekt vermitteln, vor allem sollen jedoch allgemeine Aspekte des Habitatmonitorings für Naturschutzzwecke diskutiert werden wie: Strategien und Programme für das Habitatmonitoring wie Lösungsansätze für ein erfolgreiches Monitoring einschließlich Integration neuer Technologien, Berichte und Erfahrungen aus der Praxis des Habitatmonitorings (z. B. Anwendungsbeispiele für Monitoring im Arten- und Gebietsschutz und deren transnationale Vergleichbarkeit auf europäischer Ebene), zukünftige Konzepte für das Habitatmonitoring (Empfehlungen / Leitlinien für das Management von Lebensräumen und bedrohten Arten - Transfer von wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen zur praktischen Anwendung). Die Konferenz findet statt im Rahmen des von der EU geförderten Marie-Curie-Projekts "ChangeHabitats2 - Network for Habitat Monitoring by airborne-supported field work - an innovative and effective process in implementation of the Habitat Directive" (Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways, FP7-MC-IAPP). Das Projekt hat zum Ziel, durch Unterstützung mittels Fernerkundungsdaten ein kosten- und zeiteffizientes Monitoring von NATURA2000-Lebensräumen zu entwickeln. An dem Projekt sind 8 Partner aus 4 Ländern (Deutschland, Österreich, Polen, Ungarn) beteiligt. ... [Information des Anbieters]
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. ...

SCB's International Congress for Conservation Biology (ICCB) is the most important international meeting for conservation professionals and students. ICCBs are a forum for addressing conservation challenges and for presenting new research and developments in conservation science and practice. Most importantly, ICCBs connect our global community of conservation professionals and are the major networking outlet for anyone interested in conservation. ... [Information of the supplier]
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]
