[Coral-List] 4th workshop on "Trait Based Approaches to Ocean Life"

[Christian Lindemann]

Dear Colleagues:

Please save the date for the 4th workshop on “Trait Based Approaches to 
Ocean Life”, to be held 18-21 August, 2019 at Chicheley Hall, 
Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom.

The workshop brings together a broad range of ecologists and marine 
scientists to study how organism traits shape ecosystem structure, 
biodiversity, and function. The program will include a mixture of 
plenary talks and smaller, targeted discussions. Key topics for the 4th 
workshop include:

• the traits of non-competitive interactions (e.g. predation, symbioses, 
parasitism)
• linking bioinformatics, traits, and ecosystem function
• trait evolution and its effects on community and ecosystem dynamics
• quantifying fitness.

We are still developing the themes and program for the 2019 workshop, 
and expect that abstract submission will open on 1st March 2019. We hope 
that you will join us at Chicheley Hall.
