WORKSHOP INVITATION: INTERPLAY BETWEEN PARENTAL CARE AND SEXUAL SELECTION
Dear Colleagues,
We are glad to invite you to our Workshop that will take place between 26th
February and 3rd March 2018 at Kristineberg, in Fiskebäckskil, Sweden.
The main goal of this workshop is to provide a relaxed atmosphere where
researchers interested in different aspects of the interplay between
parental care and sexual selection will exchange ideas, discuss the recent
developments in the field, and propose in details future directions. We
embrace diversity as a way to enrich scientific discussions and we will
prioritize attendees with diverse backgrounds, at different career stages,
and that use different organisms and methodological approaches to address
their questions. Besides, the workshop will provide the perfect forum for
researchers (especially young scientists) to network with other specialists
in the field.
Topics include:

The event will start with a reception on Monday 26th February, will include
3 full days of talks from invited speakers and attendees, 1 night of poster
exhibition, and a last full day of general discussion of relevant
sub-themes in the field, conducted in small groups self-organized by the
participants. We ask participants to present results or ideas from on-going
research instead of already published papers, given that the main focus of
the workshop is the discussion of fresh perspectives and initiatives.
Confirmed invited speakers include:
- Professor Suzanne H. Alonzo, University of California – Santa Cruz, USA
- Dr Lutz Fromhage, University of Jyväskylä, Finland
- Professor Wolfgang Goymann, Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, Germany
- Dr. Irja Ida Ratikainen, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway
- Professor Nick Royle, University of Exeter, UK
There is no registration fee. Accommodation and meals for 40 participants
will be covered by the financial support of the Gothenburg Centre for
Advanced Studies in Science & Technology *(GoCAS)* and the Royal Swedish
Academy of Sciences (*KVA).* Participants will only be charged for the
costs of their social events and the transportation to the event venue.
