Dear all,

We are organising a symposium on *eco-evolutionary dynamics of sexual
selection and sexual conflicts *as part of the XIII European Congress of
Entomology from June 29 to July 3 2026 in Tours, France (www.ece2026.org
<http://www.ece2026.org/>).

We are delighted to have *Pau Carazo* (University of Valencia, Spain) as 
a keynote speaker, and *David Berger* (Uppsala University, Sweden), 
*Graziella Iossa* (University of Lincoln, UK) and *Mike Ritchie* (St 
Andrews University, UK) as invited speakers.*
*

*We welcome abstract submissions for oral presentations and posters 
(submission deadline: 15/12/2025).*

Information about the congress and our symposium can be found on the 
website (www.ece2026.org), but feel free to 
contact us if you need additional information.

Best regards,

*Symposium Description*. Sexual selection and sexual conflicts are 
embedded in complex eco-evolutionary dynamics that are increasingly 
important to understand in the context of global environmental change. 
Sexual selection can influence demography and thus a population's 
adaptive potential (evo-to-eco), while ecological conditions may alter 
the strength and outcomes of sexual selection (eco-to-evo). Although 
interest in this field is growing, research on the interplay between 
sexual selection, sexual conflicts, and ecology is still in its early 
stages. This symposium aims to showcase cutting-edge empirical and 
theoretical work that advances our understanding of these interactions, 
their evolutionary consequences, and ecological implications.
