Dear All,

 

6.00-7.30pm, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 – ZSL Scientific Meeting MONITORING OF WILDLIFE: FROM INDIVIDUAL BEHAVOURS TO GLOBAL DISTRIBUTIONS

 

This Scientific Meeting will explore the surveillance and monitoring techniques used by conservationists to study animals in their natural environments and describe how these findings can improve our understanding and help mitigate the impacts of environmental change.

 

ZSL Scientific Meetings are free and open to everyone – no need to book in advance but please arrive early as seating is limited; the ZSL Meeting Rooms will be open from 5.15pm on the evening – and seats will only be reserved at the talks for those who have booked to come to the dinner.

 

The evening has been organised by Drs Chris Carbone, Tom Hart, Ben Collen and Marcus Rowcliffe (Institute of Zoology, ZSL); talks will be given by Professor Martin Wikelski (Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, Germany & Princeton University, USA), Dr Iain Staniland (British Antarctic Survey), Dr Sarah Durant (Institute of Zoology, ZSL) and Dr Roland Kays (New York State Museum, USA); and we will have time for questions following the talks.
