The final workshop for EBIRD Europe 'Coping with environmental change: integrating avian ecology and endocrinology’ will take place at the University of Glasgow, 17-19th November 2006.
Plenary speakers will provide overviews on topics such as birds and climate change, and the role of the endocrine systems in mediating responses or buffering birds against environmental challenges. Details will be posted on the web site.
Overviews of studies in progress that have resulted from collaborations established in the framework of the E-BIRD network will be encouraged. The meeting is open to all those interested in the topic.
Accommodation will be in local hotels/bed and breakfast details of which will be posted on the web site shortly.
If you are interested in attending the meeting and/or offering a paper contact P.Monaghan@bio.gla.ac.uk.
A short abstract of offered talks (maximum 200 words) should be sent to the same address by 31 July 2006.
This final workshop aims to present an overview of studies in progress that resulted from collaborations established in the framework of the E-BIRD network. This will enable us to assess to what extent the network has been able to stimulate interactions between endocrinologists and ecologists during the last three years. Speakers will be invited to present studies in which ecological and endocrinological approaches are combined to resolve a scientific problem related to avian reproduction. The meeting will provide the necessary information required for the preparation of a programme proposal to financially support integrated research combining endocrinological and ecological approaches. Representatives from laboratoires that were not involved in the initial E-BIRD network will be invited to the workshop. This will enable us to extend the existing network to countries that were not initially involved, in order to develop a pan-European integrated research platform focusing on impacts of environmental changes on different aspects of avian reproduction.
