BES symposium - The Macroecology of Alien Species.www.britishecologicalsociety.org/SYMP2017/DurhamThis timely, 2-day symposium in the historic and beautiful city of Durham will bring together invasion ecologists and macroecologists, working on many different taxonomic groups, to build a global synthesis of alien species distribution and richness. The symposium will explore the major drivers behind the mixing of the [...]
The Macrosystems Ecology Lab (PI Benjamin Blonder) will be moving from the University of Oxford to Arizona State University (http://www.asu.edu) in Tempe, Arizona. The lab's focus is on predictive community ecology and biogeography, paleoecological and anthropogenic effects on biodiversity dynamics, and global change plant ecophysiology. We use a combination of field, eco-informatics, and modeling approaches [...]
The Pearse Lab at Utah State University is recruiting for PhD students to start in the 2017 academic year. We are an inter-disciplinary lab, studying the interactions between community ecology and evolutionary biology using cutting-edge statistical techniques. We are looking for two students: one with experience in ecological and/or evolutionary modelling, and another with experience [...]
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate in PALEOECOLOGY at the University of New Mexico. Support exists for a 1-2 year appointment with extension subject to successful progress. The candidate will work with Drs. Felisa Smith and Seth Newsome at UNM on a new project investigating the ecological consequences of the terminal Pleistocene megafauna [...]

Frontiers of Biogeography and the IBS Early Career Committee are pleased to invite submissions for Doctoral Dissertation/Thesis synopses from early career biogeographers*. Submitted synopses will compete for the Doctoral Dissertation Award that will be presented at the 2017 IBS biennial meeting in Tucson, Arizona, USA. Established in 2013, the Doctoral Dissertation Award aims at promoting [...]
The International Biogeography Society seeks proposals for workshops for the 2017 Biennial Conference, 9-13 January, 2017 in Tucson, Arizona, USA. Workshops are an exciting part of our meeting as they offer in-depth opportunities to learn about topics of biogeography, often bringing in people to the conference that otherwise might not attend. Workshops can be either [...]

Call for nominations (Student@Large)One of the best ways for students to foster their academic development is to broaden their horizons in every possible aspect. Participating in scientific societies is certainly a way towards such horizon broadening. The International Biogeography Society (IBS) gave me this opportunity as board member representing students in all decision-making. Indeed, being [...]
What: 24th Biennial Meeting of the American Quaternary Association When: June 28-July 2, 2016Where: Santa Fe Convention Center, Santa Fe, NMInfo: http://biology.unm.edu/fasmith/2016AMQUA/A pressing challenge for Quaternarists is the development of innovative and robust methodologies and approaches to discriminate how geological and ecological rates and processes in the Anthropocene deviate from the Holocene and other times past. The 24th AMQUA [...]
