Announcing the Evolutionary Demography Society,
please circulate
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the formation of the
Evolutionary Demography Society (EvoDemoS)
and to invite interested researchers to join. While many
societies include life-history evolution or evolutionary
demography within the range of topics they consider,
no active society focuses on these topics across taxa and
disciplines. EvoDemoS is intended to fill this gap.
EvoDemoS is an interdisciplinary scientific society dedicated
to the study of the interactions of ecology and
evolutionary biology with demography, including but
not limited to patterns of mortality, reproduction and
migration over age, stage and state and the evolutionary
processes that produce those patterns. All taxa
and methodologies are of interest. Our primary goal is
to facilitate communication between researchers, and
as such we are pleased to offer free membership for
2013 to any interested researcher. We invite members
from students to established experts. We will organize
yearly meetings to provide a specific forum for
evolutionary demography. Our first meeting will be in
Odense, Denmark in October of 2013, and will be open
only to society members. Membership can be gained
by emailing your name, preferred email address, affiliation
and a sentence describing your research interests
to: evodemo-list@demogr.mpg.de
Questions and comments can be addressed to this same
address.
Please feel free to distribute this announcement
broadly.
