ZOOLOGY 2018 _ Zoology in the Anthropocene - Abstract Book

Abstract book of the ZOOLOGY 2018 meeting (13-15 December 2018, @Zoo, Antwerpen).
In addition, a workshop on basic skills for young scientists (networking, paper writing, reviewing, presentation feedback) will be organized on the 13th of December by the RBZS Young Zoologists Group. The general theme of the ZOOLOGY 2018 meeting is “Zoology in the Anthropocene” with two special sessions: 1. “Crossing borders: why and how biologists and climatologists must speak together”; 2. “How animals face global change: plasticity, resilience, adaptation”. As usual, the congress will also welcome all contributions from the field of Zoology, from the molecule to the biosphere. Thematic sessions will be organized depending on received abstracts.
All zoologists, at any stage of their career, are very welcome to participate actively during the whole meeting, and young scientists are particularly encouraged to contribute (especially to the Young Zoologist workshop).
Confirmed keynote speakers are Hilde Eggermont (Belgian Biodiversity Platform), Eelke Jongejans (Nijmegen) and Alexander Wilting. The floor will also be given to the Kets prize and KCZS winners.
