BGC lab at the 32nd International Congress on Conservation Biology

Last week Marta and Moreno went to the other side of world to attend the 32nd ICCB congress in Brisbane Australia. A total of six contributions were presented at the congress, involving current and past lab members.

Marta Cimatti presented a talk on "Synergies and trade-off between maintaining climate niche variability and preserving climate stability" (part of a symposium on Climate-smart considerations in conservation planning), and a poster on "Climate-proofing the Trans-European Nature Network" based on her recently published paper. Moreno Di Marco presented a talk on “Connecting conservation and zoonotic disease research through macroecology" (part of a symposium on Biodiversity and Health), and a poster on "Two forms, two functions: functional specialisation in parasitoid flies and their larvae".

The conference gave us a fantastic chance to stay connected with the wider scientific community, engage with colleagues, exchange ideas and spark new collaborations—and even make some new friends. See you at the next conference!
