Dear all,
BES Symposium: The Ecology and Evolution of Emerging Plant Pests and Pathogens: Challenges to Global Food Security and Ecosystem Reliance Date: 13 - 14 July 2015 Location: Penryn Campus, University of Exeter, Cornwall, UK Registration is open: http://www.britishecologicalsociety.org/events/current_future_meetings/2015-annual-symposia - EARLY BIRD CLOSES 31 May! This symposium will bring together experts in genetics, cell biology, ecology, evolution, plant pathology, modelling, microbiology, climate change, remote sensing, agriculture and forestry to synthesize recent research into emerging plant pests and pathogens (EPPPs) and share findings across disciplines. The aim is to describe the threat that EPPPs pose, the mechanisms by which they evolve and spread, the ecological and environmental factors that influence emergence, and the management strategies that can be used for control. There will also be a Public Policy Debate, sponsored by the Society of General Microbiology, on Monday 13th July, in Falmouth at the Maritime Museum. Tickets and travel to the venue are free to all those attending the Symposium. Kind Regards, Amelia Simpson Events Manager British Ecological Society
