| Meeting Details |
May 8, 2008 Vancouver is hosting the third annual meeting of the Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution (www.ecoevo.ca) on the grounds of the University of British Columbia Sunday-Wednesday, May 11-14. The meeting is one of the premier avenues in Canada for presenting cutting-edge research in the environmental sciences. Topics range from basic research into the evolution of species to the impact of climate change on biological communities (full schedule). The Society is a non-partisan group of practicing biologists with a mandate to promote the study of ecology and evolution in Canada, and to raise public awareness of the importance of ecology and evolution to Canadian Society. We have highlighted a few talks that should be of particular interest to wider society, and invite the media to investigate. If you would like to speak with these researchers or receive more information, please contact Dr. Arne Mooers, Biological Sciences, Simon Fraser University amooers@sfu.ca, 778-782-3979, home 604 254 4939.
