Confirmed in person

Owen Petchey

University of Zurich · Switzerland

Professor of Predictive Ecology. Research on population, community and ecosystem dynamics, environmental change, ecological forecasting and statistical modelling.

Til Hämmig

University of Zurich · Switzerland

Junior researcher working on species environmental responses and temporal stability, including the relationship between response imbalance and community stability.

Assistant Professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology studying biodiversity change, macroecology and global change using long-term data across taxa, habitats and scales.

Arnaud Sentis

INRAE · France

Researcher studying how temperature and other global-change drivers affect traits, trophic interactions, community dynamics and ecosystem functioning.

Stephan Munch

NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center / UC Santa Cruz · United States

Quantitative ecologist working on population dynamics, nonlinear ecological systems, empirical dynamic modelling and ecosystem forecasting for fisheries and management.

Online participation. Whether online participation will be possible will be clarified when the detailed programme is sent. This will depend on whether a hybrid format is feasible and useful for both those attending in person and those participating remotely.
