Human ‐ driven scenarios for evolutionary and ecological changes

MEDECOS is an international conference organized by ISOMED, the International Society of Mediterranean Ecology, which aims to meet the scientific community interested in Mediterranean‐type ecosystems (MTEs). The AEET is the Spanish ecological society mainly devoted to terrestrial systems. The main focus is on any aspect of the ecology and evolution of Mediterranean ecosystems and their species, from plants to animals and also microorganisms. By joining scientists and students which research focus on MTEs we expect great advance in providing similarities and differences on how MTEs function, change and evolve.

A preliminary list of themes will include:

  • Comparative ecology and evolution
  • Historical biogeography of Mediterranean lineages
  • Current species conservation challenges
  • Biodiversity: species interactions, networks, communities and phylogenetics
  • Evolutionary and ecological drivers of MTEs as biodiversity hotspots
  • Ecophysiology and functional traits
  • Ecosystem functioning and services: challenges and risks in a changing world
  • Consequences of biotic and environmental global changes on MTEs
