Registration for the 2016 Asilomar conference of the American Society of Naturalists will close in two weeks.
The American Society of Naturalists will be holding a small independent meeting at the Asilomar Conference Center on the Monterrey Peninsula in coastal California, January 10-14, 2016. The goal of the meeting is to promote integration between evolution and ecology by attracting a more diverse community of biologists than typically attend the evolution meetings held jointly each summer by ASN, SSE, and SSB. All attendees will have the option to present their research in talks or posters which will be grouped by topic. Information about the conference can be found on the conference website: http://www.amnat2016.org including a general schedule and information about three afternoon symposia and exiting evening events. To register, visit: http://www.amnat2016.org/register.html Lodging must be booked separately: http://www.amnat2016.org/foodandlodging.html The conference is limited to 200 people due to meeting space constraints, so we expect the conference will fill up completely. We therefore encourage potential attendees to register shortly after the registration period opens. Who should attend: We invite graduate students, post docs, or faculty from fields related to ecology, evolution, behavior, genetics or associated fields who are interested in big-picture and integrative research into patterns and processes in biological diversity. The meeting is not restricted to ASN members, but newcomers are encouraged to join the society. The conference will be kept small to encourage new conversations. ASN is subsidizing student and post doc registrations to encourage graduate students and post docs to attend the meeting. We look forward to seeing you there! Sincerely, Volker Rudolf ASN Organizing Committee Chair
