California Native Plant Society Conservation Conference, 17 – 19 January 2009, Sacramento, CA
The CNPS 2009 Conservation Conference: Strategies and Solutions aims to bring together over 1,000 scientists, conservationists, university students, public policy makers, local and regional planners, and land managers from all regions of the state and beyond to share and learn about the latest developments in conservation science and public policy. We seek solutions-based papers and posters on the following topics: climate change and California's flora; rare plant conservation and restoration; mitigation and monitoring of impacts to plants and communities; invasive species; vegetation classification and mapping to promote native plant conservation; conservation genetics; achieving equal protection for plants; regional planning tools; land management; and basic conservation-related plant science. We also seek papers on plant conservation from regional and ecosystem-level perspectives, including Baja California. The conference will take place at the Sacramento Convention Center and Sheraton Grand Hotel. For more information, see our web site <http://www.cnps.org>. [Posted 3 January 2008]

The International Organization of Systematic and Evolutionary Biology (IOSEB)
announces the
VII International Congress of Systematic and Evolutionary Biology, ICSEB 7
"Extending the Darwinian Panorama"
Celebrating the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth
Veracruz, Mexico
5-10 July 2009
The International Congress of Systematic and Evolutionary Biology (ICSEB) is convened approximately every six years, the last one having being held in Patras, Greece, in 2002. The scope of these congresses is to bring plant, animal, and microbial systematists and evolutionary biologists together to discuss and debate topics of general interest. The focus of this congress, in context of significant historical backdrop, is on modern and forward-looking ideas, concepts, and methods in systematic and evolutionary biology. Due to its location, a strong emphasis will also be placed on understanding biodiversity in Latin America
