Dear Giorgio,
we thank you for your observations about the information on the site for the 7th Tunicate meeting. Of course the meeting is open on ALL aspects of tunicate biology. In fact this was stated clearly on the introductory page:
'The call concerns studies describing any aspect of tunicate research,
such as, e.g., developmental biology, regeneration, genomics,
genetics, cell biology, physiology, neurobiology, biochemistry,
allorecognition, evolution/systematics, ecology. Abstracts describing
research on tunicates as invasive species are welcome, as this will be
a topic of special interest at this meeting. In addition, work
describing research in other organisms that sheds light on
deuterostome evolution and chordate origins is also of much interest.
and we dont think this excludes anything, though we have now added a line to the abstract page before the nominal list stating this (just in case there is any doubt and to encourage submissions on all aspects of tunicate biology). The sessions will be organized later depending on the pattern of submissions we receive.
Let us take this opportunity to underline to the community that the Naples meeting will cover ALL aspects of tunicate biology.
on behalf of the organizing committee .
