ESEB Symposium on �Behavioural diversity: from ecology to genes and neural systems' 17th-22nd August, Barcelona ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 25th April 2025 https://eseb2025.com/call-for-abstracts/ Behaviour is a major axis of animal diversity that connects core themes of evolutionary biology - including ecology, development and genomics. Increasingly, new technologies and approaches are enabling traditional eco-evolutionary study systems of behaviour to be approached from a neurobiological perspective, giving new insights into where behavioural variation originates, and how behavioural innovations evolve. This symposium aims to bring together experts from different fields with distinct conceptual and technical approaches (e.g. evolutionary biology, paleoneurology, behavioural ecology, neurobiology), and at different career stages to support discussions around areas of focus, and community development, at the start of a new era for evolutionary behavioural sciences. This symposium will be facilitated by organisers of an ESEB Special Topic Network, The Integrative Biology of Brain Evolution (https://tibbe-network.github.io), which will provide a platform to take discussions forward to help grow a collaborative research community. We are convinced that this symposium will attract a broad ESEB audience and facilitate collaborations for future research to understand the evolution of behavioural diversity.
