The 14th International Behavioral Ecology Congress will be hosted by the Department of Biology at Lund University, Sweden, in 2012. The congress is scheduled from Sunday August 12 to Friday August 17. CAnMove is one of the hosts for this big event.
The study of animal movement is important because it acts at multiple scales, and can shape the destiny of individuals and populations, govern community and ecosystem structure, and influence evolutionary processes and patterns of biodiversity. Movement is a ubiquitous feature of the lives of animals, and is integral to many important behavioural processes.
