SPOTTED at ESA 2014! Messrs Halliday and Lefcheck
This week, BioDV contributors Jes Coyle, Emily Grason, Fletcher Halliday, and Jon Lefcheck are be attending the 2014 annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America.
Yes, we are all here to learn and share in the wonders of modern Ecological research, but we are also here because we want to meet you, our readers [and future contributors]. And to that end, we are organizing a BioDV social/mixer/meetup/shindig (pick your poison):
Thursday night, 8pm at Lowbrau Bierhall in Midtown
It’s just 7 blocks from the convention center, and the center of all hep activity in Sac-town, or so we’ve been assured. We will try to snag some of the tables out on the deck under the sycamores. Come by and snag one of the BDV rulers – there are only a few left!
Hopefully you were all at Jes Coyle’s fantastic talk on local and regional diversity in lichens yesterday. We also you want to see you at our other talks. Emily and Fletcher are both talking at the same time at 8:20 on Thursday:
Emily: Strangers in strange lands: Evidence for generalized risk assessment strategies in non-native marine snails in 315
Fletcher: Uncovering the structure of foliar parasite metacommunities in California grasslands in Ballroom B in the Hyatt.
You’ll have to choose between us, but Emily’s title is better – just sayin’.
Jon has no BDV competition, and speaks about how: Biodiversity drives ecosystem multifunctionality: A meta-analysis Friday 9:20am in Hyatt Ballroom B. An altogether more reasonable time of day to have a talk.
If you haven’t already found the good local fare – here are some insider tips:
