BES Macro 2021

Uniting researchers working at the macro-scale.

BES Macroecology SIG

BES Macro 2021 is the annual meeting of the BES macroecology and macroevolution SIG.

BES Macro 2021 is the annual meeting of the BES macroecology and macroevolution SIG. Each year we aim to highlight all kinds of macro-scale research, across diverse taxa, timescales, and career stages. This year for the first time the meeting will run online, across three days at a different time slot each day to facilitate attendance across different time zones as follows:<ul><li>Monday 5th July 8am-11am BST (British Summer Time, GMT +1)</li><li>Tuesday 6th July 5pm-8pm BST</li><li>Wednesday 7th July 11am - 2pm BST</li></ul>We will also have a Slack channel for discussion, questions and coffee breaks during the meeting!Whatever your speciality and career-stage, we hope you&#x27;ll join us for three days of macro-fun! Details of the conference can be found below, or feel free to contact us on Facebook or Twitter (@BESMacroecol) with any questions.PLENARY SPEAKERSOur plenary speakers are all breaking new ground and developing new fields of research in macroecology and macroevolution. We like to emphasise the exciting work being done by scientists at early career stages, and from both near and far. Our confirmed speakers are:<ul><li>Jessica Ware (AMNH, New York, USA). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Ware</li><li>Signe Normand (Aarhus University, Denmark). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signe_Normand</li></ul>In addition, and as is tradition, there will be a student plenary speaker chosen from the attendees. PhD students: please opt in to be selected for this! It is a great opportunity to broadcast your research in greater detail to the macro community! The student plenary will be chosen based on their abstracts in a double-blind review process undertaken by the MacroSIG committee. We highly recommend applying; it&#x27;s fun and a great thing to put on your CV.  You&#x27;ll be asked for an abstract and a short biography if you choose this option when you register. TALKS AND POSTERSWe will have slots for talks and space for virtual posters at the meeting. Talks will be 5 minutes long. There may not be enough talk slots for everyone, so priority will be given to early career researchers (ECRs). You will need to submit a title and choose which day/time slot you would prefer. Talks can be pre-recorded or given live as you prefer.VIRTUAL POSTERSWe will set up a shared document where poster presenters can share a link to their poster (or video or whatever format they choose) and a time and meeting link where they will be available for discussion at certain times during the meeting. ACCESSIBILITYIf you have any accessibility needs please do indicate this on your registration form and we&#x27;ll be happy to help out! TWITTERWe&#x27;ll be using the Twitter handle #BESMacro2021. Join in!TICKET PRICESAs an online conference overheads are lower than for an in person meeting, but overheads still exist so we are still charging for this event. Money is required to keep the BES meetings team going and to secure the future of SIG events. The BES has asked that we all charge the same prices for online SIG events which is where these prices come from.If you are experiencing hardship as a result of the pandemic, or are from a low/lower middle income country and are unable to afford the full ticket price please get in touch at SIGs@britishecologicalsociety.orgREFUND POLICYWe can offer refunds up to the week of the event. However, we are unable to refund the Eventbrite fees as these go directly to Eventbrite. ISSUES REGARDING UNIVERSITIES NOT FUNDING PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT SPEAKINGWe are a small meeting with a small organisational team, so unlike larger meetings we can&#x27;t logistically cope with abstract registration followed by registration for the conference after talks are accepted. We are aware, however, that some universities will not pay for conference attendance unless a talk is confirmed, leaving people in a precarious financial position. If this is an issue for you please let us know and we will see what we can do.DEADLINESRegistration and abstract submission ends midnight BST (GMT+1) 15th May 2021. We will contact attendees after this to confirm talk slots.Normal registration ends at 23:59 BST on Monday 14th June 2021To view the British Ecological Society’s privacy policy please click <a href="https://www.britishecologicalsociety.org/bes_privacy_policy/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
