Tagung 2011
5th Annual Meeting of the Specialist Group on Macroecology of the Gesellschaft für Ökologie
Basel, Switzerland
February 16-18, 2011
organized by Jan Beck (Institute for Biogeography, University of Basel) and Holger Kreft (Biodiversity, Macroecology & Conservation Biogeography Group, University of Göttingen).
The fifth annual meeting of the Specialist Group on Macroecology will be the first one held outside of Germany. This meeting aims at bringing together students and scientists interested in and / or working in the field of macroecology. We are particularly interested in stimulating fruitful and open discussions. The conference language will be English.
With Walter Jetz (Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale) and Antoine Guisan (Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Lausanne), we have invited two eminent macroecologists to give keynote lectures and to boost the discussions.
We invite contributions for oral and poster sessions. Oral sessions will be organized in two different formats.
1. Young scientist contributions are intended to give PhD students and young post-docs an opportunity to present preliminary results or research proposals and to get conceptual and methodological feedback from the participants (15 + 10 min discussion).
2. Regular oral contributions will present recent research results (15 + 10 min).
Deadline for registration and abstract submission is January 5, 2011.
Contact: Jan Beck (jan.beck@unibas.ch), Holger Kreft (hkreft@uni-goettingen.de)
