>> We are pleased to announce that the "European Conference of Tropical

>> The overarching topic will be "(re)connecting tropical biodiversity in space
>> and time". It highlights both the importance of integrating fundamental
>> sciences inferring past processes (e.g. paleoecology, evolution, social
>> history...) to understand current patterns of biodiversity, and the urgent
>> need to reconnect patches of fragmented landscapes if we wish to conserve
>> tropical biodiversity and ecological services of tropical ecosystems for
>> future generations.

>> Where: Brussels, Belgium
>>
>> Deadline for the CALL FOR SESSIONS AND WORKSHOPS: Please submit your
>> proposal, until the end of august 2016, on-line on the conference webpage:
>> http://www.soctropecol-2017.eu/

>>
>> This conference aims to connect researchers at all levels of their career
>> and from all disciplines relevant to tropical ecology, and to promote
>> scientific exchanges and cooperation in a friendly atmosphere. Students and
>> young scientists are very welcome and to encourage them, we will make our
>> best to maintain costs accessible to all. The conference addresses also
>> topics relevant for tropical ecosystem managers, conservationists and policy
>> makers, who are encouraged to participate and exchange with researchers.
>> Contributions from all fields within tropical ecology are welcome: Ecology,
>> evolution and conservation of tropical ecosystems in a changing world,
>> Tropical ecosystem functioning and ecological services, Agro-ecosystems,
>> human impact and the future of tropical biodiversity, for discussing major
>> advances and future challenges in tropical ecology.
