Last year David S. Wilkove and Martin Wikelski published an eye-opening paper in PLoS Biology entitled: Going, Going, Gone: Is animal migration disappearing? In the paper Wilkove and Wikelski discuss threats of migrating animals, highlighting problems as well as scientific and political challenges. I strongly suggest to read the paper.
On Thursday 8 Oct during the PhD student course on “Ecology of Animal Migration” we will have a number of lecturers presenting their view on conservation and animal migration/dispersal, from Lund University Prof. Henrik Smith (pollinating insects in the agricultural landscape), Dr. Brendan Godley, University of Exeter (worldwide view on seaturtles) and Prof. John Fryxell (large mammal migration in the Serengeti; Thursday seminar). In the afternoon there will be a Panel Discussion on the topic: Conservation and migration research: what can be done? Taking place 15.30-16.30 in the Blue Lecture Hall.
We welcome anyone interested to attend the lectures as well as to take part in the panel discussion, which will be held after the Thursday seminar (given by John Fryxell, “Large mammal migration in the Serengeti”)
