SYMPOSIUM ON FISH MATING SYSTEMS

Brno, Czech Republic, 21-23 January 2025

Platform for researchers to explore genetic, physiological, behavioural, 
ecological, evolutionary, and applied perspectives on fish mating systems.

Aims to establish a coherent framework for understanding the adaptive 
basis of the extraordinary diversity of fish reproductive styles.

Invited plenary speakers: Suzanne Alonzo, John Fitzpatrick, and Chiara 
Benvenuto.

Early bird registration deadline is 3 November 2025 
(https://fish.ivb.cz/registration/)

The meeting will be held on the Masaryk University campus, near the 
Augustinian abbey where Gregor Mendel made his groundbreaking discoveries.

No parallel sessions, to foster a friendly atmosphere and encourage 
discussion. We anticipate 60 to 100 participants.

We are consulting with the editors of Evolution on the possibility of 
producing a theme issue.

Celebrating the 60th anniversary of the publication of "Modes of 
Reproduction in Fishes" by Charles Breder and Donn Rosen!

Organised by Martin Reichard, Carl Smith and Jakub Žák
