Dear colleagues, For your interest: the International Association of Vegetation Science (http://iavs.org/) is organizing its annual symposium in Perth, Australia from 1-5 September 2014: http://iavs2014.com/
This symposium offers the great opportunity to meet vegetation ecologists from across the world. We still have places available for some of our fascinating excursions. See, for example: http://iavs2014.com/excursion3.php We just extended the deadline for early-bird registration to June 1. On behalf of the LOC, Jesse Kalwij
