In the context of the conference series called 'Jacques Monod Conferences', organised each year by the Institutes of Biological Sciences (INSB) and Ecology and Environment (INEE) of the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), and the Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale (INSERM), will take place the conference 'Marine Eco-Systems Biology'
in Roscoff (Brittany), France, June 22-26, 2015
Deadline for application: March 20, 2015
► Deadline for abstracts extended to April 7
Eco-systems biology is a new discipline being promoted by breakthroughs both in biology and ecology. On the one hand biology is moving beyond the reductionist breakdown of cellular functions towards the consideration of an organism as an ecosystem from a holistic point of view. On the other, ecology is now embracing new high-throughput bioimaging and DNA sequencing technologies to understand causality in ecosystem function from a mechanistic perspective. Both biology and ecology are at a meeting point of systems analysis between space and time that address gene function and genotype-phenotype interactions, as well as community structure. ...more
