Organising committee
Invitation
The
aim of this joint workshop is to adress issues related to
to the emergence of macroecological
patterns, drivers of global change, and novel methods to
describe these patterns and processes. Bringing together
the Specialist Groups on Macroecology and on Theory in
Ecology gives an opportunity for fruitful discussions and
for a lively exchange of knowledge and methodological
expertise. We propose three thematic blocks which will be
introduced by plenary speakers. The sessions will be
filled up by 3-min talks of each participant leaving a lot
of space for discussions. Workshop language will be
English.
(Heartily invited are scientists, PhD and Master students)
Scientific
questions
1)
Factors determining geographic ranges or species
diversity; how will ranges and diversity respond to global
climate change?
2)
Invasions and changing community structures
3)
Integrating mechanistic and statistical modelling
approaches (incl. integration of dispersal, biotic
interactions, adaptation, local population dynamics)
