This is the question we will discuss at our upcoming ZSL meeting in London (22nd-23rd of November). The most immediate response of animals to environmental change is behavioural. This can have profound repercussions at the population and community level and is therefore of crucial relevance to conservation. Our symposium will bring together leading experts in behavioural ecology and conservation to explore how behavioural ecologists can make a difference in support of conservation by relating their research to ecosystem processes. The meeting will critically assess the role of the behavioural ecology in addressing conservation priorities and aims to inspire future conservation-oriented research.
The talks cover a range of conservation issues such as habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, disease transmission, but will also address the question how best to establish a link between the behavioural ecological and the conservation community. If you are interested in these topics please register at ZSL (where you can also find a complete list of topics and speakers). We are also happy to receive poster proposals!
