The American Society of Naturalists is holding an independent meeting ("21st
Century Naturalists:
integrating pattern and process to understand biodiversity") at the Asilomar
conference center on the
Monterey Peninsula, California, on January 13-15 2014. Information about the
meeting is now
available at http://w3.biosci.utexas.edu/amnatasilomar/. The website will be
updated periodically
with additional information. Registration and lodging will open in early July.

The goal of the 2014 American Society of Naturalists meeting is to bring
together a diverse array of
biologists, including evolutionary biologists, behaviorists, and ecologists,
who might not normally
encounter one another at their regular meetings. This will be a small
conference to promote new
conversations and ideas (attendance is limited). We wish to create a unique
setting where graduate
students, postdocs, and faculty can carry out discussions that define new
research directions for our
disciplines, and promote integration between biological disciplines including
the fusion of theory,
data, and new technologies for data acquisition.
