*2016 International Conference on Pollinator Biology, Health and Policy*



UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Online registration and abstract submission are now
open for the third International Conference on Pollinator Biology, Health
and Policy.  The conference will be held from July 18 – 20, 2016 at Penn
State’s campus in University Park, PA.  The conference website is at:
http://agsci.psu.edu/pollinator-conference



Pollinators are essential for the health of agriculture and natural
ecosystems, but there have been dramatic declines in key pollinator
populations worldwide. A major theme of this year’s conference will be
translating the results of recent research advances in the biology and
health of pollinators into solutions that can be applied to conserve and
expand pollinator populations.  Symposium speakers from North and South
America, Europe, Africa, and Australia will cover a range of topics in
pollinator research, from genomics to ecology, and their application to
land use and management, breeding of managed bees, and monitoring of global
pollinator populations.  Recent initiatives in policy, education, and
extension will also be highlighted.  A full agenda including the list of
invited speakers and symposia organizers is available on the conference
website.



Abstracts for oral and poster presentations are due on April 18, 2016.
Individuals will be notified if their abstract is selected for oral or
poster presentations by May 13, 2016.  The early registration deadline to
received discounted registration costs is June 17, 2016.



The conference will begin in the evening of July 17, 2016 with a welcome
reception, and proceeded earlier in the day by a Pollinator Conservation
Short Course hosted by the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. Please
