Dear All,
This message is especially relevant to anybody in Texas, within a few
hour drive of Texas A&M, though others may wish to join too.
Texas A&M's 13th Annual Ecological Integration Symposium is coming up on
March 23-24, 2012. At this symposium, we have a day of plenary talks
given by renowned ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and environmental
scientists, and a day for a student symposium, where undergraduate and
graduate students can present their research and compete for awards.
Registration is FREE and is only required for students wanting to
present (deadline- March 9). If you are interested in the plenary talks,
just show up!
The plenary talks will be given on Friday, March 23, at the Annenberg
Presidential Conference Center, on the Texas A&M Campus. The general
theme is "Ecology in a Changing World" and our invited speakers are:
J. Baird Callicott (U. North Texas, Environmental Philosopher)
Sam Cushman (USDA Rocky Mountain Research Station, Landscape Ecologist
and Geneticist)
Scott Edwards (Harvard, Phylogeneticist focused on birds)
Naomi Pierce (Harvard, Behavioral Ecologist focusing on plant-insect
interactions and evolution of these interactions)
John A. Wiens (PRBO, Landscape Ecologist/Conservation Biologist focused

The Student Symposium will take place on March 24, at the Agriculture
and Life Sciences Complex on the Texas A&M Campus, and students
(graduate and undergraduate) from any school can compete for awards of
