[Christian Lindemann]

Dear Colleagues:

Registration is now open 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.

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

·Are trait-based approaches /objectively/ better?


Keynote speakers:

·Sandra Diaz (Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina)

·Brian Enquist (University of Arizona, USA)

·Alexandra Worden (Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, USA)

·Lionel Guidi (Laboratoire d'Océanographie de Villefranche-sur-Mer, France)

·Neil Banas (University of Strathclyde, UK)


The program will include a mixture of:

·Invited keynote talks

·Contributed talks

·Posters

·Chalk-talks and break-outs

·Thematic round-table discussions
