  Theme: This conference will focus on: 1) incorporating a dynamic perspective
  into invasion ecology and management; 2) developing specific mechanisms to
  assemble and evaluate the needed datasets; and 3) fostering a collaborative
  research-management approach wherein site-specific data reveal broad patterns,
  which in turn yield management recommendations.

  Poster Submissions: We are calling for abstracts for posters addressing one or
  more of the following themes: a) invasive species management activities that
  incorporate a dynamic aspect (e.g., climate change, natural enemy acquisition,
  interactions of multiple invasive species); b) basic research on dynamic
  aspects of invasions; c) invasive species
   monitoring and database initiatives;
  and d) collaborative undertakings between invasive species ecologists and
  managers. The deadline for abstract submission is March 15, 2009. For
  submission procedures please see the conference website,
