Next week EXEB will co-organize a Minisymposium together with The Pheromone Group at the Biology Department in Lund entitled "Entomology Futures", which will focus on insect ecology and evolution.
This symposium is organized in conjunction with the visit by Dr. Niklas Wahlberg from University of Turkku in Finland to our department. Wahlberg is a leading phylogeneticist and systematist who mainly works on butterflies, but has broad ranging research interests in evolutionary biology and entomology.
The symposium is open for everyone interested, although the locality is small and can only take 20-25 attendants, meaning that you should aim to arrive early.
When: Wednesday March 5 2014, 14.00-16.00
Where: Seminar room "Tanken", 1st floor, Ecology Building
Scientific Program
14.00 - 14.30 Niklas
Wahlberg: The 215 million years of
Lepidoptera diversification: lessons from an ever changing world
14.30 - 15.00 Jadranka
Rota: Behavioural ecology and systematics
of metalmark moths (Lepidoptera: Choreutidae)
15.00 - 15.20 Coffee
break
15.20 - 15.40 Machteld
Verzijden: Courtship and mate preference functions are jointly shaped by geographic
variation in developmental plasticity and interspecific interactions
15.40 - 16.00 Jessica
Abbott: G x E effects of diet on male
fitness in Drosophila melanogaster: phenotypic plasticity, or genetic
robustness?
