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 Kenneth E. Behring Family Hall of Mammals opened in November 2003. This exciting learning environment features 274 mammal specimens, nearly a dozen fossils, and plenty of hands-on interactives. An Evolution Theater and a tiny model of one of the earliest mammals tell the dramatic story of mammal evolution over the past 225 million years. The Kenneth E Behring Family Hall of Mammals website explores how all mammals, past and present, are related to each other by virtue of common descent. Visitors to the site will learn that, as mammals, they belong to an ancient lineage that stretches back to before the time of the dinosaurs. As living mammals, they share a set of characteristics that helps scientists define this group. ... [Information of the supplier]
Assembling the Tree of Life (AToL) is a large research effort sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Its goal is to reconstruct the evolutionary origins of all living things. This AToL: Decapoda project is aimed at clarifying the evolutionary history of the decapods (both fossil and extant), including the shrimp, crabs, crayfish, and lobsters. Our group is comprised of five principal investigators and a host of other collaborators at multiple institutions across the globe. ... [Information of the supplier]
Did you know that thanks to a common little snail that you can find in your garden, in the park or under a hedge, you can see evolution in your own back yard? OK, so evolution is a very slow process. Life on Earth started about three-and-a-half billion years ago! It's the tiny changes accumulating over a long, long time that got us here. And you can see some of those tiny steps by joining the Evolution MegaLab. ... [Information of the supplier]

ESHE, the European Society for the study of Human Evolution, promotes the broad field of research which investigates how humans evolved both biologically and culturally. Contributing disciplines typically include hominin palaeontology and palaeogenetics; comparative and functional studies of extant primates, using both morphological and molecular evidence; palaeolithic archaeology; and applied studies of stable isotopes, dating, taphonomy, palaeoecology and palaeogeography. ESHE aims to stimulate communication and scientific cooperation between scientists, and to improve public understanding of human evolution. Core activities of the society will be: to organize yearly meetings, with a scientific programme, as well as a public-outreach event, to encourage and help develop international and interdisciplinary research proposals and projects, and to initiate and support activities which increase the public and political visibility of human evolution studies. The European Society for the study of Human Evolution is registered as a non-profit organization. ... [Information of the supplier]
