We are excited to announce the annual Lacawac Ecology Conference (LEC) to be held September 26 - 27, 2014 at Lacawac Sanctuary in the Poconos of Northeast Pennsylvania (Lake Ariel, PA).
Registration is now open! LEC provides: - A great venue for connecting with regional scientists - An opportunity to discuss research ideas in an informal setting (for both faculty and students) - Building new collaborations in the Northeast region - Lodging in our beautiful and historic Great Camp Lodge, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places This year we have Dr. Shannon LaDeau from the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies (Millbrook, NY) as our plenary speaker. LaDeau's research investigates how anthropogenic stressors and changing climate influence ecological networks (pathogen-vector-host) that support endemic vector-borne disease and spillover to humans. Her presentation title is "The ecology of emerging infectious disease and the urbanization of sylvatic disease systems". For more details or to register, see our webpage: http://www.lacawac.org/? p=96 Registration should be received by September 12, 2014 and please contact Lesley Knoll (lesley.kn...@lacawac.org) with any questions. Thanks from the Lacawac Ecology Conference Organizing Committee.
