Dear all,
a reminder that registration for Marine Evolution 2018 is open. Registration and Abstract submissions can be done until February 1st.
A conference arranged by Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology at University of Gothenburg
"Our ambition is to bring marine evolutionary biologists from all over the world together to present recent and ongoing work, share ideas and discuss future collaborations, all in the beautiful setting of the Kosterhavet Marine National Park in the archipelago on the Swedish west coast."
