The National Forum for Biological Recording and the British Ecological Society Macroecology Special Interest Group have released a call for papers for their conference A Question of Ecology – answers from biological recording which will take place in Sheffield on the 23rd-25th April 2015.
Biodiversity information is crucial to understanding ecological relationships and supporting conservation effort in a changing climate. A Question of Ecology will celebrate achievements, highlight opportunities and seek to overcome obstacles regarding the use of biological records to answer ecological questions, by both professional and amateur naturalists.
NFBR and BES are inviting speakers to give ‘quickfire’ talks or longer talks to set the scene, raise key issues, and showcase examples of good practice to guide future action and policy development. They are looking for examples of original work at all scales and levels, from global to the local, where knowledge of species and systems is being advanced through accurate observation and recording. They are also inviting people to present posters, which will be displayed throughout the conference and at a dedicated poster session with refreshments on Thursday afternoon before the conference dinner.
