The Macroecology 2019 meeting will be the 13th annual meeting of the specialist group Macroecology of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (GfÖ). The Specialist Group on Macroecology of the GfÖ is one of the leading scientific platforms for macroecological topics in central Europe. With the topic 'Bridging local patterns and global challenges', we invite contributions ranging from 'small data' to questions of global relevance for biodiversity research. Hence, Macroecology 2019 aims to foster the dialogue between empiricists dealing with local patterns, bioinformaticians, data scientists, theoreticians and modellers from central Europe and beyond, promoting scientific exchange and progress. The Macroecology 2019 will be held at the Biocenter of the University of Würzburg, which is located in the Hubland campus. ... [Information of the supplier]
ISME17 is the 17th edition of our symposium which takes place every two years. The conference is the front runner in the field of microbial ecology, with an average of around 1,750 international scientists that attend the conference. Our next edition will take place in charming Leipzig, a city used to bringing people together, as the very first trade fair in the world took place here, back in the 12th century. The city also harbors a rich cultural history, when it comes to music and the performing arts. Composers Bach and Mendelssohn Bartholdy and philosophers Goethe, Nietsche and Leibniz all called the city their home. Being a true university city, there is a strong local scientific community, ready to show you their city. ... [Information of the supplier]
In 2014, the University of Hildesheim will host the 44th Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The meeting will take place from September 8th to 12th, 2014 in Hildesheim, Germany. The guiding theme of the 44th Annual Meeting is "Integrating ecological knowledge into nature conservation and ecosystem management". Along the lines of this guiding theme, we will stimulate scientific discussions on basic and applied ecological topics as well as on nature conservation and management. Special focus will be given to: biodiversity research (e.g. diversity of genes, species and ecosystems; threats and conservation), ecosystem functioning (e.g. ecosystem services, processes and functions, ecological dynamics), species and populations (e.g. interactions, competition, adaption, survival, community assembly, past and current pattern), ecosystem types (e.g. marine, aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems; from polar to tropical regions, from lowlands to mountains), global change effects (e.g. climate change, land use change, nutrient deposition, invasive species), management (e.g. general and international approaches, restoration ecology, sustainable land management), conservation approaches and (e.g. linking ecological knowledge to nature conservation, environmental education, sustainability, community conservation, socio-ecological approaches, policy advice). ...

In the year 1866 Ernst Haeckel introduced the term “Ecology”. The guiding theme of the 46th Annual Meeting is therefore "150 years of ecology – lessons for the future". The overarching aim of the conference is to stimulate a critical assessment of the status quo of the different disciplines of ecology. At the same time and taking into account the latest developments in ecological research we will address the following questions: Where are we? What have we learned? What are the gaps? What are the challenges for the future? We aim to present an outstanding and interesting program covering the diversity of ecological research. ... [Information of the supplier]
We are pleased to announce the 49th Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, which will be held September 9-13, 2019 at the Institute of Landscape Ecology, University of Muenster (WWU). Several interesting keynotes for the conference have already been approved, including Julie Etterson (Duluth, USA), Carly Stevens (Lancaster, UK), Nancy Schellhorn (Brisbane, Australia), Kris Verheyen (Ghent, Belgium) and Andy Dobson (Princeton, USA). The Institute of Landscape Ecology at the University of Münster traditionally collaborates closely with a range of conservation organizations, agriculture, forestry and practitioners and involves them in academic research projects. The 49th Annual Meeting is therefore held under the motto "Science meets practice" and aims to stimulate exchange between the academic ecological community and practitioners in order to find applied solutions to environmental problems. ...

The seventh annual meeting of the Specialist Group on Macroecology will be held from 13-15 March in Göttingen. This meetings shall provide a platform for interaction between young and established macroecologists and to learn about the most recent and most exciting developments in our discipline. The conference language will be English. We are very happy that we will have Peter Linder ( Department of Systematic Botany, Zurich) and Jens-Christian Svenning (Department of Bioscience - Ecoinformatics and Biodiversity, Aarhus) as keynote speakers. ...

Die Deutsche Zoologische Gesellschaft hat als ersten Schritt zu einer vom Netzwerk der biologischen Stationen Deutschlands geplanten Homepage eine Liste der Stationen ins Netz gestellt. Diese soll eine Übersicht über die in Deutschland vorhandenen Stationen, ihr Angebot, ihre Kapazität und Nutzungsmöglichkeiten für Exkursionen und Kurse geben. Unter biologischen Stationen werden hier Feldstationen verstanden, die von Universitäten oder anderen öffentlichen Trägern mit wissenschaftlichem und technischem Personal betrieben werden und für die Durchführung von Exkursionen und Praktika von Studierenden verschiedener Universitäten sowie für biologische Kurse genutzt werden können. ...

In this symposium international speakers will review how organisms not only respond to the Earth’s surface, but also directly modify and control it to promote their own persistence. Plants and animals can directly control the fluxes of energy and matter that underlie biogeochemical cycles, gas fluxes, sediment transport and form new habitats. Recent recognition of biotic interactions with Earth surface processes has led to a new Geoscience paradigm: The Earth’s surface is not only the product of tectonic forces (mountain building) and climate (destroying relief by weathering and erosion), but also through biotic processes that are active over micro- to macroscopic scales. Biota moderates tectonic and climate controls on surface processes and is an equally important player in shaping the Earth. This symposium will review the findings that triggered this paradigm shift, for example that the activity of biota extends to great depth (the “deep biosphere”),,soil development is related to plant diversity and burrowing animals,,plants diverge the flow and evaporation of water, higher plants can induce the uptake of mineral nutrients that vastly exceeds the rock weathering of these elements, vegetation moderates soil erosion, large river floodplains are stabilized by plants. The symposium will combine geoscience, soil, ecology, hydrology, and geobiology research to discuss how new developments in each of these fields should be employed to quantify the entire chain of Earth surface processes influenced by biotic activities, and how these developments can be used to form predictions of global change. ...

Das Motto unserer Tagung lautet: "Ökologie für eine nachhaltige Zukunft". Damit möchten wir unter anderem zu Diskussionen anregen welchen Beitrag ökologische Forschung zu einem umfassend nachhaltigen Umgang mit den natürlichen Ressourcen leisten kann. Wie hängen z. B. Landnutzung, Biodiversität und Ökosystemfunktionen zusammen? Was lernen wir aus ökologischer Grundlagenforschung für einen zeitgemäßen Naturschutz? Wie werden sich Klimawandel und Stickstoffdeposition auf terrestrische und aquatische Ökosysteme und deren Funktionalität auswirken? Die Diskussion dieser und ähnlicher Fragen soll die Tagung zu einem Ort des lebendigen wissenschaftlichen Austauschs machen, aber auch zu Debatten über adäquate Handlungsalternativen für einen nachhaltigeren Umgang mit Ökosystemen anregen. ...
