We are organizing a series of contributed paper
sessions on Plant-Pollinator Interactions at the
upcoming joint meeting of the British Ecological
Society (BES) and the Societe Francaise
d'Ecologie (SFE) in Lille, France on Dec 9-12,
2014. We hope to encourage interaction and
collaboration amongst pollination ecologists on
topics ranging from pollinator behavior and plant
mating patterns to large scale studies of
plant-pollinator networks and strategies for
conservation of biodiversity. We have chosen a
contributed paper format, rather than a
symposium, to encourage broad participation, and
anticipate that 40-60 talks will be presented.
Known for its stunning architecture and excellent
restaurants, Lille was named a European Capital
of Culture in 2004. Lille is a 60 minute train
ride from Paris, 80 minutes by train from London,
and 35 minutes from Brussels.
More information about the BES / SFE meeting may be found at:

If you are planning to attend, please be sure to
designate # 27 Plant-Pollinator Interactions on
the BES/SFE abstract submission form. Also,
please send an email to Jeff Karron, Emmanuelle
Porcher, and Mathilde Dufay so that we have a
sense of the number of speakers. Organized
contributed paper sessions are new to BES, and we
want to ensure that there will be a sufficient
number of sessions to accommodate all of the participants.
