The American Society of Naturalists (ASN) typically holds a joint
conference each year (the "Evolution Meeting") with the Society for
the Study of Evolution (SSE) and Society of Systematic Biologists
(SSB). Starting in 2014, we plan to begin biennial independent
meetings of the American Society of Naturalists, to bring together a
broader spectrum of biologists, including ecologists and animal
behaviorists who might not typically attend the Evolution meeting. The
purpose of these meetings will be to foster interdisciplinary
interactions among biologists who share ASN's goals:
" to advance and to diffuse knowledge of organic evolution and other
broad biological principles so as to enhance the conceptual
unification of the biological sciences."
To help us plan the best possible meeting, I am writing to ask you to
take just a couple of minutes to fill out a brief survey. This will
help us evaluate the level of interest in this meeting, choose the
optimal time, and gather ideas for themes and formats that might help
interdisciplinary conversations and communication between students,
postdocs, and faculty at all levels.
The survey can be found at:

Please also forward this message to any students or colleagues who
might be interested.
