Dear Researcher, Please join us for the next ethology Investigates online conference, where presenters will explore the behavioral impact of invasive species. The conference takes place at your desk from April, 15 to 17, 2013 and is free of charge, but you will need to register at www.ethologyinvestigates.com<http://www.ethologyinvestigates.com> . Please forward this invitation to your colleagues and students. Mark Hauber along with Phill Cassey, Naomi Langmore and Bard Stokke are hosting the second ethology Investigates online conference.
Join us from April 15 to 17, 2013 for talks, presented papers and posters on the behavior and impact of invasive species as they interact with native biota. Go to www.ethologyinvestigates.com<http://dmmsclick.wileyeurope.com/click.asp?p=20560156&m=65238&u=1728160&t=1> to register today Animals today are regularly confronted with novel situations – destruction of habitat, introduction of new predators or new food sources. Studies on invasive species can yield critical insights into evolutionary theory, behavioral ecology, community ecology, developmental physiology, and conservation practice. This three-day event will showcase talks, original articles, and posters on the behavior, physiology, ecology, and impact of invasive species on their host environment. Confirmed speakers - Judith Weis on the role of behavior in the success of invasive crustaceans Andy Suarez on behavioral approaches to the study of biological invasions Sonia Kleindorfer on the impact of the parasite Philornis downsi for Darwin finch behavior James Russell on the common myna and the red-vented bulbul Sabine Tebbich on effectively controlling an invasive parasitic fly on the Galapagos Islands Tomáš Grim on egg rejection behavior across different temporal scales Tiffany Garcia on the antipredator behavior of American bullfrogs Richard Shine on conditioning taste aversion in bluetongue lizards to avoid toxic cane toads Heather Spence on how invasive crabs find ideal conditions at shellfish aquaculture sites Russell Ligon on invasive ants and how they alter foraging and parental behaviors of a native bird Giovanni Polverino on the behavior of mosquitofish (Gambusia affinia) Any questions or comments?
