Dear all,

Join us at the Linnean Society in London for a hybrid (in-person and
online) one-day symposium focused on the mechanisms and consequences of
variation in organismal resilience.

The mechanisms that allow organisms to both buffer system function
from perturbation, and dynamically respond to change are the foundation
of organismal resilience. Understanding these mechanisms and how they
evolve is one the most pressing challenges in modern biology. Meeting
this challenge will require perspectives that span all levels of
biological organization, from genes to populations to ecosystems,
and collaboration and integration across many different biological
disciplines. Organisms are the nexus that unites lower-level genetic,
cellular, and physiological processes that underlie resilience to concepts
of resilience at the population, community, and ecosystem levels. Why
are some individuals and taxa more resilient than others? And how does
individual and species-level variation in resilience relate to the
resilience of populations, communities, and entire ecosystems? This
symposium will address these and related questions to advance our
understanding of organismal resilience, and its potential to buffer
organisms from environmental change.

This is a hybrid day meeting, offering the option of both in-person
tickets or online attendance.

Confirmed speakers:
Patricia Schulte (University of British Columbia, Canada)
Christopher Wheat (Stockholm University, Sweden)
Rose Thorogood (University of Helsinki, Finland)
Luis-Miguel Chevin (Centre d'Ecologie Fonctionnelle et Evolutive, CNRS
Montpellier, France)
Maren Vitousek (Cornell University, USA)
Shane Campbell-Staton (Princeton University, USA)
Glenn Yannic (Université Savoie Mont Blanc & Laboratoire
d'Ecologie Alpine, France)
Chloe Haberkorn (Stockholm University, Sweden)

We will host a poster session, and short talks (~15 minutes) will also
be selected from submitted abstracts, with an emphasis on early-career
researchers. These short talks can be presented remotely for online
attendees. If you would like to contribute a poster or submit an abstract
for consideration for a short talk, please submit a title and abstract
(max 200 words), with lead author affiliation and career stage, to
evojlinnsoc@linnean.org by 17.00 (BST) Tuesday 30 September 2025.

Date: 20 November 2025

Venue: Linnean Society of London, Piccadilly London W1J 0BF, United
Kingdom

Registration and abstract submission deadline: 30 September 2025
