Evolutionary ecology and management of aquatic ecosystems

A scientist - stakeholder interaction symposium

22 & 23 November 2012, Eawag Dübendorf, Switzerland

Evolutionary and ecological processes occur over similar timescales and affect the emergence, maintenance, and change of biological diversity. The potential for rapid evolutionary processes can also affect a broad range of applied issues - ranging from effects of invasive species to conservation of threatened species, management of aquatic pathogens to ecosystem services.

Our goal: We will discuss how appraoches from evolutionary ecology can contribute to solving environmental problems in aquatic ecosystems. The symposium is targeted both for scientists and stakeholders.

Organizers: Katja Räsänen, Christoph Vorburger, Blake Matthews, Jukka Jokela
