Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to inform you that the list of keynote speakers for the conference on �Modern Phylogenetic Comparative Methods and their Application in Evolutionary Biology� (11th-15th November 2014, Seville, Spain) is now complete.
Accordingly, the following experts will give plenary talks: Thomas F. Hansen (University of Oslo, Norway) Anthony R. Ives (University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA) Em�lia Martins (Indiana University, USA) Charles L. Nunn (Duke University, USA) Emmanuel Paradis (Institut de Recherche pour le D�veloppement, France) Samantha Price (University of California, Davis, USA) Liam Revell (University of Massachusetts, USA) In general, the conference will focus on phylogenetic comparative methods that are now widely used in very diverse fields of evolutionary biology to make robust inferences from interspecific data and phylogenies. Currently, we witness a rapid flourishing of the phylogenetic toolbox allowing researchers to tackle diverse questions concerning the evolution of species and their traits. We aim at providing a diverse overview on the most recent developments by the most prominent experts of the comparative methodology, and also at attracting an audience from different fields of evolutionary biology to demonstrate how the phylogenetic comparative approach can be used to address an ample array of biological questions in different taxa. We still welcome contributions to the main program (oral presentation or poster) For more info on the scientific and social program as well as for the registration, please visithttp://www.mpcm-evolution.org/conference/ . Please, note that places are limited! We look forward to seeing you in Seville! the organising committee: L�szl� Zsolt Garamszegi (Estaci�n Biol�gica de Do�ana-CSIC, Spain) Alejandro Gonzalez Voyer (Estaci�n Biol�gica de Do�ana-CSIC, Spain) Carles Vil� (Estaci�n Biol�gica de Do�ana-CSIC, Spain) Juan Arroyo (University of Seville, Spain) __________________________________ Alejandro Gonzalez Voyer Post-doc Estaci�n Biol�gica de Do�ana Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient�ficas (CSIC) Av Am�rico Vespucio s/n 41092 Sevilla Spain Tel: + 34 - 954 466700, ext 1749 E-mail: alejandro.gonza...@ebd.csic.es Web site: Personal page: http://consevol.org/members/alejandro_combo.html Group page: http://consevol.org/people.html For PDF copies of papers see: http://csic.academia.edu/AlejandroGonzalezVoyer [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
