[Mitarbeiter.zoologie] ESEB - FYI

[Michael Mikát]

Hello all,

I do not plan go to this conference, as I will be still in Toronto this
time.
However, If someone of you plans to go there and would like low-cost
(probably free) accommodation, let me know, I have many friends in Prague
and I can arrange it.
best wishes,
Michael

> Dear colleagues,
>
> Abstract submission deadline for the ESEB 2022 Congress has been extended
> until 22 April, so if you are considering attending the symposium "Predator
> cognition and the evolution of prey defence strategies" (S.16), there is a
> little more time for submitting your abstracts.
>
> The meeting will be held in Prague, Czech Republic on 14-19 August 2022;
> see https://www.eseb2022.cz for further details.

> Symposium description:
> Animals employ numerous strategies to avoid predation, and the evolution of
> camouflage, aposematism, mimicry and other forms of antipredator defence is
> at the core of research interest of evolutionary biologists. As shown by
> recent studies focused on interactions between prey defences and predator
> cognitive mechanisms, understanding the selective forces driving the
> evolution of prey defence strategies requires studying their coevolution
> with predator perception, cognition, and subsequent behavioural responses.
> Furthermore, these studies have also highlighted the importance of studying
> predator cognition in ecologically relevant settings and testing
> behavioural responses in addition to investigating sensory capabilities.
> This approach has made it possible to address new questions, such as what
> factors influence predator decisions to attack potentially dangerous prey,
> how prey defences and predator cognitive mechanisms interact through the
> predation sequence, how predators respond to multicomponent and multimodal
> defences, and how predators use individual and social information about
> prey. This symposium aims to bring together current experimental,
> comparative and theoretical approaches to study interactions between
> predator cognitive mechanisms and prey defence strategies, identify the
> factors shaping predator behavioural responses, establish critical gaps in
> our understanding of the evolution of antipredator defences, and outline
> directions for future research.
>
> Our keynote speakers are Johanna Mappes (University of Helsinki)
> and Tom Sherratt (Carleton University).
>
> Abstracts can be submitted on:
> https://www.eseb2022.cz/en/call-for-abstracts-page. The call is open until
> the 22nd of April 2022.
>
> Early-bird registration is open until the 15th of June 2022.
>
> ESEB also proposes a conference attendance aid grant. For further details,
