25 Years Studying Small Mammal Socio-Ecology in a Biodiversity Hotspot

The Succulent Karoo Research Station (SKRS) was founded in 2001 as a base for organismal research in this biodiversity hotspot. For a quarter of a century, it increased our ecological understanding of the Succulent Karoo via its ground-breaking research in eco-physiology and behavioural ecology of small mammals. During a two days symposium we want to review past, current and future research at SKRS (day 1) and show how this contributes to a better understanding of the ecology, evolution, and management of this biodiversity hotspot (day2).
 
Location: Conference facility in Goegap Nature Reserve.
 
Date: Thursday 30th October and Friday 31st October (2 days). Starting at 9:00 and finishing at 17:00

Day 1 (Thursday 30th October): Presentations by researchers and students working at SKRS. We will present the most important research that was conducted in the fields of behavioural ecology on small mammals in the last 25 years and its impact on the international scientific community.

Day 2 (Friday 31st October): Presentations by researchers and by nature conservationists about the Succulent Karoo biodiversity hotspot with a focus on small mammals and their impact on this ecosystem.

Registration is closed.
