International Conference on Population Ecology and Species Distribution (ICPESD - 26)

This session will explore the principles of population dynamics and metapopulation theory, focusing on the interactions between local populations and their spatial arrangements. Contributions that examine the implications of these dynamics for conservation and management practices are particularly encouraged.

This track will delve into the mechanisms and patterns of species dispersal, highlighting their ecological consequences. Researchers are invited to present studies that link dispersal strategies to population persistence and ecosystem functioning.

This session will address the biogeographical factors influencing species range shifts in response to environmental changes. Papers that investigate historical and contemporary range dynamics are welcome, particularly those that incorporate climate change scenarios.

This track focuses on the development and application of demographic models to understand population structure and dynamics. Contributions that utilize innovative modeling approaches to predict population trends are encouraged.

This session will examine the concept of ecological niches and their role in determining habitat suitability for various species. Researchers are invited to present findings that integrate niche modeling with empirical data to assess species distributions.

This track will explore the intersection of population genetics and species distribution, emphasizing how genetic diversity influences population resilience and adaptability. Studies that utilize genetic tools to inform conservation strategies are particularly welcome.

This session will investigate the distribution of ecological communities and the interactions among species within these communities. Contributions that explore the effects of species interactions on community structure and dynamics are encouraged.

This track will focus on the spread of invasive species and their ecological consequences for native populations and ecosystems. Papers that analyze the mechanisms of invasion and strategies for management are particularly sought after.

This session will address the impact of climate change on species distributions and population dynamics. Researchers are invited to present studies that assess the ecological and evolutionary responses of species to changing climatic conditions.

This track will explore the factors driving population fluctuations and patterns of species abundance across various ecosystems. Contributions that integrate empirical data with theoretical frameworks are encouraged to enhance our understanding of these dynamics.

This session will highlight integrative approaches that combine ecological, genetic, and modeling techniques to address complex questions in population ecology. Papers that demonstrate interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative methodologies are particularly welcome.
