Insect Communities

Together with Klara Rehounkova (University of South Bohemia), Robert Tropek is organising a special session at the next conference of Society for Ecological Restoration (http://www.ser2016.org). The session is entitled “Conservation importance of early successional stages in restoration of human-made sites”, so the presentations will aim at a multitaxonomical comparison of species dependent on early succession, bare substrate and sparse vegetation. We want to answer questions on the importance of such habitats at various postindustrial sites for particular groups of organisms and how can we effectively maintain them during and after restoration projects. Any interested speakers are welcome to submit their talks!
