Dear colleagues We are pleased to announce a meeting entitled "Ecology and acoustics: emergent properties from community to landscape" that will take place at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris, France, June 16-18 2014.
This international event will explore the application of modern acoustic techniques in ecological and soundscape research. This meeting offers an opportunity for researchers, policy makers and practitioners to interact and discuss principles, methods and applications of an acoustic approach to ecological studies. This invitation is extended to all scholars and researchers who are interested in using acoustics as a tool to investigate the complexity of the ecological processes across multiple scales, from populations to communities and ecosystems to landscapes. There will be a particular focus on discussing this emergent field of research and developing an organization or an association whose principles are to establish new paradigms, orient and stimulate research, facilitate connections and interactions. Papers (no poster) are welcome and the deadline to submit a title and a short abstract is the 15th of December 2013. Please note that the number of participants is limited to 75 and that registration fees will be specified later. We are currently working to keep them as low as possible. Information and submission form is available at: http://ecoacoustics.sciencesconf.org/. We look forward to seeing you in Paris next year!
