A major obstacle in linking evolution and ecology has been that for many of the preferred models for genetic and genomic research, ecological information has been lacking. Conversely, the preferred models for evolutionary ecology have generally not been amenable to genetic experiments and have had poorly developed genomic resources. The ongoing revolution in sequencing technologies is rapidly changing this. Large-scale sequencing-based studies have become affordable for individual labs and support population genomics, investigation of regulatory landscapes of the genomes as well as in situ genetics in a wide range of species. Importantly, such analyses can now be performed with hundreds or even thousands of individuals. This meeting will present the latest advances with satellite systems, that is, species that are closely related to conventional genetic model organisms, and with entirely new models for evolutionary and ecological genetics and genomics. Special emphasis will be placed on the interaction between organisms as a basis for understanding ecological adaptation. ... [Information of the supplier]
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. ...

Biohydrology 2013 addresses many contemporary issues surrounding water scarcity, climate change and increase pressure on land. The conference focusses on the interaction between biological and hydrological systems, including positive impacts such as water harnessing and flood mitigation, and negative aspects including threats to food production, water repellency and environmental degradation through unsustainable land use practices. Experts from hydrology, ecology, soil science, geography, biology, forestry and engineering will meet together in a forum designed to get different disciplines working together. ...

Climate change has significant impact on society and biodiversity in Europe. Urban inhabitants are most likely to experience climate change effects directly because currently 73 per cent of Europeans live in urban areas. Here, management of urban ecosystems offer sustainable and cost-effective solutions to climate change mitigation and adaptation while contributing to human well-being. This joint BfN/ENCA conference in Bonn will bring together experts from science, policy and practice to highlight and discuss the importance of nature-based solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation in urban areas and their rural surroundings. The aim of the conference is to increase knowledge and to foster linkages between science, policy and practice regarding nature-based solutions to meet the challenge of climate change in urban areas. In addition, emphasize is given to the potential of nature-based approaches to create multiple-benefits. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Max Planck Institute for Ornithology will host the 2014 topical meeting of the Ethologische Gesellschaft e. V., which will be held in Tutzing, on the shore of Lake Starnberg. We hope that you can join us in 2014 to continue the society's tradition of high quality science presented by diverse participants and in a friendly conference setting. The conference will be a good opportunity to catch up with colleagues and collaborators, and at the same time a chance to explore Lake Starnberg, one of the top holiday destinations in Germany. ...

The 10th topical meeting of the Ethological Society will be held in Hamburg, the second largest German city and the trendy, cultural centre of the North. The Organizing committee hopes to welcome colleagues from various universities and working groups, who share an interest in behavioural ecology in general, and causes and consequences of social behaviour in specific. The conference will take place between Wednesday 11th and Saturday 14th February 2015 in the Biocenter Grindel and Zoological Museum at the University of Hamburg. On Wednesday evening we will start our meeting with the opening lecture by Prof. Manfred Milinski followed by an ice-breaker where you can catch up with colleagues and friends. We are looking forward to exciting talks, interesting posters, fruitful discussions and a fun closing party in an unforgettable location in Hamburg's No. 1 nightlife district on Saturday night. ...

The Göttinger Freilandtage is a bi-annual international conference on timely topics in primate behaviour, ecology and evolution organised by the Behavioral Ecology & Sociobiology Unit at the German Primate Centre (Deutsches Primatenzentrum). This meeting differs from many other conferences in that (1) one topic is comprehensively analysed from different perspectives, (2) leading experts focus on this topic for several days, and (3) there is plenty of time for formal and informal discussion. To achieve these goals, these meetings mainly feature presentations by invited speakers, but opportunities for contributed talks and poster presentations are provided as well. ...

The 11th topical meeting of the Ethological Society will take place at the German Primate Center in Göttingen. Göttingen has a long-standing tradition in anthropological and primate research. Based on the close collaboration between the Georg-August-University and the German Primate Center, Göttingen has become one of the leading centers for the study of primate behavior in Europe. We have assembled an international roster of speakers who explore the cognitive foundations of behavior and their evolution in a diverse array of taxa, including bees, birds and wolves. Contributions from researchers with a broad interest in the evolution of behavior and its cognitive foundations are welcome, particularly from PhD students and young postdoctoral fellows. There will be prizes for the best student talks and posters. ... [Information of the supplier]
The next topical meeting of the Ethological Society will take at the University of Bonn from February 22nd to 24th of February 2017. The topic of 2017 “From Sensory Perception to Behaviour” covers the key processes that connect the environment to the individual and the individual back to the environment. Behaviour needs sensory perception and information processing and in turn, feeds back on these processes. Complex social behaviours of animals are striking examples for this interaction, when the behaviour of one animal constitutes the sensory input of another one. Researchers often focus on one of these complementary aspects, but all behavioural biologists are basically working on a core aspect of animal life: complex interactions with the environment. For this meeting, we have invited five international renowned keynote speakers, who will highlight this interrelationship of the senses and behaviour, which affects both the life of the individual as well as the evolution of behaviour and sensory systems. The meeting will take place at the Institute of Zoology in Bonn, located in the Poppelsdorfer Schloss and surrounded by the botanical garden. It will provide a stimulating environment for scientific and social interactions. Alongside the talks of the plenary speakers, plenty of time is reserved for short talks, which as usual can cover all facets of the behavioural sciences. We encourage especially young researchers to take the opportunity to discuss their work with us and to apply for an oral contribution. ... [Information of the supplier]
