Call for Contributed Oral and Poster Abstracts 95th Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania August 1-6, 2010 http://www.esa.org/pittsburgh
Deadline for Submission: Thursday, February 25, 2010 We invite submissions of abstracts for contributed oral and poster presentations at the 95th annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America. The theme for the meeting is "Global Warming: The legacy of our past, the challenge for our future". Abstracts related to this theme are highly encouraged, but submissions may address any aspect of ecology and its applications. We also welcome submissions reporting interdisciplinary work, that address communication with broad audiences, or that explore ways of teaching ecology at any level. Please note that invited speakers for Symposia and Organized Oral Sessions should not submit their abstracts until they receive specific instructions by email in late January. These abstracts will still be due on February 25, 2010. Contributed oral presentations are allotted 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions, and will be placed in thematic sessions scheduled Monday afternoon through Friday morning. By submitting an abstract, it is expected that authors will be available during any of these time slots. Contributed poster presentations are placed in late afternoon poster sessions scheduled Monday through Thursday afternoon. Posters should be hung all day preceding their session, and authors are expected to present their posters during the entire 2 hour poster session. For more information and to begin the submission process, please go to http://esa.org/pittsburgh/call_contributed_opa.php.
