[Pollinator] 13th International Congress of Entomology - Please respond - Pollinator Session

[Ladadams at aol.com]

The 13th International Congress of Entomology will be held in Durban, South 
Africa during 6-11 July 2008. The Congress will include two pollination 
symposia (see www.ice2008.org.za). This call for participants is only for Section 6 
ECOLOGY : Pollinators in full bloom. The organizers are: Carolin Mayer 
line.mayer at gmx.de & Connal Eardley eardleyc at arc.agric.za.

The symposium structure is one three hours session with 25 minutes for a key 
note address (to be delivered by Steve Johnson) and ten 15 minute 
presentations. Our aim is to have presentations that are generalized and appealing to a 
wide spectrum of participants on pollination and pollinators, interesting to 
scientists who are not skilled in pollination biology, informative on 
international collaborative activities, and advertise an attractive and interesting field 
of research for young scientists. Unfortunately we're stringently limited to 
10 presentations, so we will have to be selective. I do believe that there 
will be ample place for posters.

Please indicate whether you would like to give a presentation or poster and a 
short abstract to help us select before 31 August 16:00 South African time. 
Late applications will be considered if those who respond after August are 
unable to make it. If you need a letter of invitation to help raise the funds this 
can be provided. The Congress will not be able to contribute towards your 
costs.

For information about the second pollination symposim on The Pollinator 
Crisis: Native bees in Native Habitats and Agricultural Landscapes under Section 
15. CONSERVATION, BIODIVERSITY & CLIMATE CHANGE, please contact SujayaRao

Best wishes
Carolin & Connal
