The Species on the Move Scientific Committee invites you to submit an abstract that can contribute to discussions on understanding and responding to climate driven species redistribution. Species on the Move aims to deliver state-of-the-art analysis, inspiring visions and innovative research methods arising from the latest research in climate change ecology and adaptation in the associated human-systems.
The international conference is being hosted in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia in February 2016, with Professor Camille Parmesan as the plenary speaker. Selected presentations and workshop outputs from the conference will have the opportunity to be considered for a virtual special issue in the journal Global Change Biology. The Scientific Committee are keen to encourage participation by, and highlight excellent work from, students and early career researchers. We have a dedicated early career networking function for this group of researchers to have priority networking time with our keynote speakers, a ‘mentor matching’ opportunity people can elect to participate in, and we plan to select and feature several ‘up and coming’ researchers for ‘lightning plenary’ speaking slots. Additionally, there is an exciting line up of social events including an informal Aussie BBQ at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and our end of conference dinner is at the world famous MONA museum, arriving by ferry and including a private showing of the museum. Authors are invited to submit abstracts of 250 words by 28 August 2015. All abstracts are to be submitted electronically via the presentation portal. http://www.speciesonthemove.com/presentations We look forward to meeting you in Hobart in February!
