8th International Shallow Lakes C 8th International Shallow Lakes Conference will be held from October 12 – 17, 2014, Antalya, Turkey. Its purpose is to provide a stimulating scientific environment for communicating the advances in the ecology of shallow lakes. This will be a forum to revise and discuss new results, foster the exchange of ideas, and synthesize current knowledge to facilitate new research collaborations. (www.shallowlakes2014.org) Scientific topics include; • Food webs along gradients in latitude, longitude and altitude • Interspecific interactions • Structures, function and metabolism of polar, temperate, subtropical, tropical and arid ecosystems • Interactions of multiple stresses • Hydrological constraints and salinity • Eutrophication and harmful algal blooms • Adaptation, plasticity and evolution of organisms • Theoretical developments • Ecosystem services and goods • Biodiversity and invasive species • Water Framework Directive and other legislations • Restoration, conservation, recovery and sustainability • Paleolimnology • Ecosystem modeling • New methods However, we welcome additional perspectives in submitted abstracts for oral and poster presentations. The Scientific Committee will review all abstracts and those which meet the scientific quality of reviewing will be selected for oral presentation. Abstracts submitted to the congress will be published in E-Book of Abstract and will be available online at Shallow Lakes 2014 web site. ➢ Selected presentations of this conference will be printed as full paper after peer reviewing in a special issue of Hydrobiologia (Springer-http://link.springer.com/journal/10750). ➢ Best Poster and Presentation for students will be awarded during Shallow Lakes 2014.
