Meetings
A selection of meetings on pollination biology. In progress!
Pollination Conference in
Milwaukee, August 2-3, 2008
"A two-day conference on the Ecology and Evolution
of Plant-Pollinator Interactions will be held on August 2-3, 2008, immediately
prior to the Ecological Society of America Meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
USA. The goal of this conference is to highlight the most exciting
recent advances in community and evolutionary pollination biology, and foster
interaction among pollination biologists. We aim to encourage a unified
framework to the study of community and evolutionary approaches, and to draw
attention to largely unexplored questions at the intersection of these disciplines."
The evolutionary ecology
of plant-animal interactions: from genes to communities Symposium of
the AEET in Mallorca April 21-23, 2008
"Plant-animal interactions (mutualistic
or antagonistic) constitute the basis of the functioning of many ecosystems,
playing a key role in the evolution of terrestrial biodiversity. Despite
the great abundance of studies on the ecological interactions between plants
and animals, we are still far from understanding how coevolution works
in these types of ecological interactions. The main goals of this symposium
are to evaluate the advances in different research lines within the evolutionary
ecology of plant-animal interactions, the patterns found, and the existing
theoretical as well as methodological limitations. From their respective
fields of specialization, a selected representation of national and international
scientists will provide the ingredients for the analysis." pdf
