Registration and abstract submission is open for the British Ecological Society Symposium "Demography Beyond the Population" to be held in Sheffield, UK March 24-26, 2015. Preceding workshops will be offered on March 23.
The symposium and preceding workshops aim to highlight the emerging role of demographic tools as bridges across ecological, spatial, and temporal scales. Specific themes include evolutionary demography, environmental and physiological drivers of population dynamics, communities and coexistence, species ranges and spread, conservation and global change, and methodological advances.
