SOCIETY FOR CONSERVATION BIOLOGY 15TH ANNUAL MEETING
CALL FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS
THE SOCIETY FOR CONSERVATION BIOLOGY will hold its 15th Annual Meeting at
the University of Hawaii in Hilo, Hawaii, 29 July - 1 August 2001. The
scientific program will consist of a plenary address by Sir Robert May, 7
symposia, approximately 300 contributed oral presentations, two evening
poster sessions, and a variety of workshops and discussions. The
conference theme is Ecological Lessons from Islands, and includes such
figurative islands as isolated fragments of habitat within altered
landscapes. The island of Hawaii, with its active volcanoes and diversity
of ecosystems, from coral reef and lowland forest to permafrost, will
provide a dramatic setting for the 2001 meeting. The meeting is co-hosted
by the Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center (PIERC) of U.S.G.S.
Biological Resources, the University of Hawaii, and Hawaii's Secretariat
for Conservation Biology.
The local organizing committee invites abstracts for oral papers and poster
presentations. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 31 January
2001. For complete information on how to submit an abstract, as well as
