Dear friends,
After the success of the 2nd international workshop, focused on
opisthobranch biology, held this year in Sicily Menfi: see e.g. some
comments in Bill Rudman's site:
http://www.austmus.gov.au/science/division/invert/mal/forum/menfwkshp.htm#944
the 3rd international workshop in Malacology will be held in Menfi (Sicily,
Italy) in June 15-19, 2000. It will be dedicated to:
"Systematics, Phylogeny and Biology of Neogastropoda"
go to its web-announcement at
http://www.futuralink.it/vannarotolo/istituzione/index.htm
Grants and general facilities are planned for students. The idea is to
gather as many "neogastropods" as possible there to draw the state of the
art in the knowledge on their biology, systematics and phylogeny,
bioochemistry, ecology etc.....
Have a look
Cheers
Riccardo Giannuzzi Savelli
