Dear colleagues,
 
Please note this ULTIMATE circular of the annual conference of the

international conference will be hosted at the Senckenberg Institute and

The conference theme is "The Past, Present and Future of Mammalian
Diversity", and hence all topics in Mammalian Biology are covered in a
modern and multi-disciplinary atmosphere. There will be three days of
conference with talks and poster sessions, divided into the
(non-exclusive) topics:

- past (palaeontology, ancient DNA, phylogeny, phylogeography,
evolution ...)
- present (population structure and distribution, behaviour,
physiology, morphology, current policy, other open topics ...)
- future (conservation, policy making, predictive modelling, climate
change, evolution again ...)

We have invited three plenary speakers to cover and introduce
cutting-edge research in each of these groups of topics:

- Michael Hofreiter
(http://www.york.ac.uk/biology/research/ecology-evolution/michael-hofreiter/)
- Phil Stephens (http://www.dur.ac.uk/philip.stephens/welcome.htm)
- Herbert H.T. Prins (http://www.reg.wur.nl/UK/Staff/Prins/)

We are looking forward to a major event this late summer, and hope to
welcome participants from a diverse range of topics and backgrounds.

With best regards, on behalf of the organising committee,

Robert
