Dear all:
To honour the memory of the late animal ecologist Hans Kristiansson from Lund University, we invite members of the evolutionary biology community to a scientific symposium that will take place between September 27 (Wednesday) and September 28
(Thursday) 2006. The symposium will take place at the "Blue Hall" in the Ecology Building. The theme of the symposium is Speciation: from diversification to reproductive isolation. The symposium is intended to be a conceptually and taxonomically broad meeting, aimed to stimulate cross-disciplinary discussions. The target of the symposium will be the interface between genetic polymorphisms and ecological genetics at the intraspecific level and up to the species level. We
have invited a diverse group of speakers representing different research traditions, organisms and approaches (theoretical as well as empirical).
This symposium is open also to researchers and PhD-students from universities in Sweden as well as those from other countries. For those who are interested, there will also be opportunities for short research presentations (15 minutes), in
addition to the plenaries. Invited speakers: Scott Armbruster (University of Portsmouth, UK) Ulf Dieckmann (IIasa, Austria) Kerstin Johannesson (Gothenburg University, Sweden) Olle Leimar (Stockholm University, Sweden) Ben C. Sheldon (Oxford University, UK) Rhonda Snook (Sheffield University, UK) Jon ågren (Uppsala University, Sweden)
For more information see www.diversification.ecol.lu.se
Registration: gunilla.lindquist@zooekol.lu.se no later than August 31 2006. The symposium is cost-free, apart from an informal conference dinner on September 28, that will cost 100 SEK (to be paid upon arrival). Please indicate upon registration if you want to participate in the conference dinner, and/or if you would like to
have a presentation. Organizing committÊ: Roger HÄrdling, åsa Lankinen, JÃrgen Ripa, Erik Svensson Symposium funding: "The Memory Fund of Hans Kristiansson" and the Sections for Animal Ecology, Theoretical Ecology and Plant Ecology and Systematics (Lund University).
