Conference Outline

The scope of the conference is outlined by (but not restricted to) the following topics:
population dynamics and ecological complexity
animal movement and dispersal
biological invasions and spread of epidemics
collective dynamics and ecological pattern formation
uncertainty and predictability in ecology
climate, environment and regime shifts
ecosystem management and agroecology
models in behavioral ecology
epidemiology and eco-epidemiology
evolutionary population ecology
evolution of culture and human behavior, social dynamics
evolutionary game theory

The MPDEE-26 programme will consist of an honorary talk (one hour), plenary talks (45-50 minutes), keynote talks (35 minutes), mini-symposiums, contributed talks (20 minutes) and a poster session. The presentations are expected to be mostly grouped around the above subject areas. However, we will be ready and willing to consider any submission of a potentially high scientific merit which does not exactly fall into the above list.
A minisymposium will normally consist of at least four talks of 25 minutes each.
