Dear Colleagues

The Third circular for our Biodiversity SA conference (2 – 6 Dec 2013) is now available.

We had a serious case of hacking on our website, and as such we have decided to change the closing date for the submission of Abstracts to 31 August 2013.

We have retrieved all Abstracts that have been previously submitted, so there is no need to resubmit. However, for people that still want to submit an abstract you have a few weeks in which to do so.

Please submit your Abstract online at  http://www.biodiversitysa.uct.ac.za/

The themes for the conference are:

o    Behavioural ecology

o    Biodiversity assessment

o    Biosystematics

o    Climate change

o    Conservation

o    Estuaries

o    Evolutionary ecology

o    Freshwater systems

o    Invertebrate ecology

o    Marine biodiversity

o    Palaeobiology

o    Physiology

o    Plant-animal interactions

o    Plant ecology

o    Vertebrate ecology

Participants will be informed by the 15th September whether their submission for oral or poster presentations were accepted.

Registration for the Conference, the Fieldtrips and Dinner is now open and will close on the 30 September 2013.

 PLEASE NOTE:  

Since fieldtrip costs depend on numbers of participants, payment for the fieldtrip will be due at the conference, however, it is important that you reserve a place for the fieldtrip that you wish to participate in.
