ATBC and the Society for Tropical Ecology (gtö) will be meeting next month in Europe

The first joint meeting of the gtö and the ATBC will be held in the medieval city of Marburg, located in the center of Germany, from July 27-30, 2009. Concentrating the strength of two renowned international societies is an excellent opportunity to profoundly foster international collaboration in the field of tropical ecology. For that reason, gtö has decided to postpone the traditional February meeting to late July 2009, the common date of the annual ATBC conference. The University of Marburg, particularly the faculties of biology, geography and ecomomy will host the meeting at the main lecture hall building of the university. The truly interdisciplinary theme of the meeting will be "IMPACTS OF GLOBAL CHANGE ON TROPICAL ECOSYSTEMS - CROSS-CUTTING THE ABIOTIC, BIOTIC AND HUMAN SPHERES". Website
