Scientists from every imaginable background of biology will once again join forces to discuss new ideas, new results and new opinions in the field of biological invasion. The 2010 NEOBIOTA Conference is hosted by the University of Copenhagen’s Faculty of Life Sciences.
The conference takes place on 14-17 September 2010 in Copenhagen, Denmark, and is kicked off with an evening keynote lecture presented by Richard J. Hobbs of Murdoch University in Western Australia.
The title of the conference is 'Biological Invasions in a Changing World - from Science to Management'. It will be the 6th European Conference on Biological Invasions NEOBIOTA, the first of which was held in Berlin in 1999, when German biologists and ecologists first put their heads together to co-ordinate responses to the ever increasing problems caused by the invasion of non-native plants, animals, fungi and micro-organisms.
These 'new species' (Neobiota) can threaten the biodiversity of existing native species, alter the structure and function of ecosystems and can eventually cause severe economic and human health problems.
Since then the NEOBIOTA Conference has spread from its modest European background, like a tough, adaptable Japanese vine, to include brains from all corners of the earth.
