IX INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON LITTORINID BIOLOGY AND EVOLUTION


The next International Symposium on Littorinid Biology and Evolution, IX ISOLBE, will be held in the Talaso Atlántico Hotel located in Baiona (Vigo - NW Spain) on September 2-7, 2008.

This meeting will deal with any topic related to biology and evolution of littorinid snails, and related marine gastropods. Two recognised researchers will open the daily sessions as invited speakers (Dr. B. R. Silliman and Dr. J. A. Coyne), and both oral and written contributions will be welcome.

There will be also three concurrent workshops (10 hours), aiming to train young scientists in different methods related to littorinid research:

  • Morphometric and taxonomic techniques (P. Conde-Padín & E. Rolán-Alvarez).
  • Methods to study mating behaviour (A. Carvajal-Rodríguez & E. Rolán-Alvarez).
  • Sequence data analysis (D. Posada and H. Quesada).
