Conference: Flexibility matters: Interplay between trait diversity and ecological dynamics using aquatic communities as model systems
The conference will address trait-based ecology with a focus on biomass-trait feedbacks and eco-evolutionary dynamics typically arising from trophic interactions. We aim to bridge between theoretically guided empirical field and laboratory studies and data-informed development of theory and modelling. The meeting will provide opportunities to exchange ideas and results with members of the DFG funded Priority Program DynaTrait and guests through a series of contributed and invited talks, poster sessions and small working groups. The meeting focuses on aquatic systems, but other systems are welcome as well if results are sufficiently generalizable. For more information and list of speakers see http://web.evolbio.mpg.de/dynatrait/Site_2/DynaTrait_Meeting_2017.html. The meeting will take place 9th-13th October 2017 in Hannover, Germany.
