Registration is now open for the 12th Clonal Plant Symposium, to be held on
July 29 to August 2, 2018, at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, USA.
For three decades, researchers around the world who are interested in
clonal
plants have gathered every few years for talks, posters, and discussion of
all aspects of clonal growth in plants from genetics to ecology and
evolution. Previous symposia have been held in Europe and Asia; the 12th
symposium is the first to take place in North America. Students are
welcome
to participate.

Clonal Plants in Context
July 29 to August 2, 2018
Bowdoin College
Brunswick, Maine, USA
Please join us this summer for the 12th Clonal Plant Symposium in
Brunswick,
Maine, the next in a series of workshops begun 30 years ago to advance
scientific understanding of the physiology, ecology, and evolution of
clonal
growth in plants. Clonal growth is a common form of asexual reproduction
and
can allow plants to place offspring in favorable micro-sites, establish
offspring where seedlings cannot survive, share resources to compensate for
environmental heterogeneity, signal each other to induce defense against
herbivory, and develop a division of labor for resource uptake. This year's
international workshop focuses on the ecological and evolutionary contexts
within which these remarkable abilities operate and change. The results
could provide new understanding of the roles of clonality in the
invasiveness of introduced plants, the composition and resilience of
natural
communities, and the responses of natural systems to ongoing global changes
in climate, nutrient availability, and disturbance.
Over 30 years these meetings have been held in 10 countries and attended by
scientists from around the globe. The most recent meeting was in
Třeboň,
Czech Republic, in 2015. These international gatherings of plant ecologists
interested in clonality have served as a forum for the exchange of ideas
and
communication of new achievements. We are excited to welcome new people,
new
research areas, and new ideas.
