The Grupo de Investigación y Educación en Temas Ambientales (GrIETA) has announced that the 2nd World Conference on Biological Invasions and Ecosystem Functioning (BIOLIEF 2011) will take place over 21-24 November 2011 in Mar del Plata, Argentina (click here).

The first BIOLIEF meeting, held at Porto, Portugal in October 2009, was attended by nearly 300 people from more than 20 countries.  BIOLIEF 2011 will continue that important initial effort toward strengthening communication among the large international community of scientists devoted to the study of biological invasions.

Instructions for registration and abstract submission will soon be provided on the conference  web site.

Addressing biological invasions on breeding islands of ACAP-listed species has been identified as an important activity by ACAP (click here for the Guidelines for Eradication of Introduced Mammals from Breeding Sites of ACAP-listed seabirds).
