Dr. Jim Brown will give a keynote lecture after receiving the Alfred Russel Wallace Award, recognizing his lifetime of outstanding contributions to biogeography.
&
Dr. Miguel Araújo will give a keynote lecture after receiving the Macarthur & Wilson Award, a new award recognizing an early-research individual for a notable, innovative contribution to biogeography.
In addition, before the meeting, on the 9th of January, five WORKSHOPS will be held: Biodiversity Informatics Training, Biogeography of Stress, Communicating Biogeography, Popular Science Writing, & an Introduction to Bayesian Statistical Analysis.
On the 9th & 13th of January, arranged FIELD EXCURSIONS will visit a number of Florida's beautiful biogeographic locations.
