Ernst Mayr Award Winner 2011 Winner of the Ernst Mayr Award for 2011 is Matthew Ogburn, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Brown University, for his outstanding research and presentation entitled, "Repeated evolution of three-dimensional leaf venation unlocks phenotypic space for exploration of succulence."
The Ernst Mayr Award is the Society's premier award, and is given to the presenter of the outstanding student talk in the field of systematics at the annual meetings of the Society of Systematic Biologists. What is systematics?Systematics is the study of biological diversity and its origins. It focuses on understanding evolutionary relationships among organisms, species, higher taxa, or other biological entities, such as genes, and the evolution of the properties of taxa including intrinsic traits, ecological interactions, and geographic distributions. An important part of systematics is the development of methods for various aspects of phylogenetic inference and biological nomenclature/classification. The objective of the Society of Systematic Biologists is the advancement of the science of systematic biology in all its aspects of theory, principles, methodology, and practice, for both living and fossil organisms, with emphasis on areas of common interest to all systematic biologists regardless of individual specialization.

Frontiers in Phylogenetics Spring Symposium: Sequence Alignment and Tree EstimationBaird Auditorium TOPICS and SPEAKERS
Registration is free but required. Please send name, affiliation, e-mail and phone number to Sarah Kingston (kingstons 'at' si.edu). III Moscow International Conference “Molecular Phylogenetics MolPhy-3”, 31 July – 04 August, 2012
The conference mission is to provide a stimulating platform for the exchange of ideas and experiences in contemporary phylogenetics, molecular evolution and bioinformatics, and for developing methodology, algorithms, and applications for state-of-the-art analyses of molecular genetic data. The primary scope is in molecular phylogenetics and systematics, phyloinformatics, evolutionary genomics, reconstructing the Tree of Life, and applied phylogenetics. Postdoctoral fellowship in population genetics of insular snakes - University Of São Paulo/FapespThe Laboratory of Herpetology of the Museum of Zoology of the University of São Paulo seeks a highly motivated scientist with experience in molecular biology and genetics to receive a 24 month FAPESP Postdoctoral Fellowship (monthly salary: R$ 5,333.40, relocation funding available; for more information visit http://www.fapesp.br/en/5427). The successful applicant will employ next generation sequencing methods to produce large amounts of genomic data to study the colonization processes of snakes species in the insular formations of the Galapagos Archipelago, Brazilian continental islands, Lesser Antilles, and Baja California as part of the project “Origin and evolution of snakes and their diversification in the Neotropics: a multidisciplinary approach,” which aims to investigate the systematics, phylogeny, ecology, and biogeography of Neotropical snakes. iEvoBio 2012 Challenge: Synthesizing phylogenies
São Paulo School of Advanced Sciences - Evolution (SPSAS-evo)
SPSAS-evo will be a two-week course centered on a range of topics in Evolutionary Biology taught by a host of world class experts conducting cutting-edge research in Evolution. The main goals are to generate authoritative outreach material focused on Evolution and to showcase ongoing research in São Paulo, aiming at attracting the most promising students, post-docs and young faculty to the state of São Paulo. |
