The fourth International Conference on Invasive Spartina will be held July 7-10 at the University of Rennes in France. Plants in the genus Spartina play important ecological roles within their native ranges, and have had large ecological impacts as invasive species outside their native ranges. The meeting will cover both fundamental biology and applied research on the genus. For more information, see the conference website at http://ici-spartina2014.univ-rennes1.fr/index.php.
