Migrant Landbird Study Group - Landbird Migration in Different Worlds

Joining and being involved with the MLSG is simple. Just sign up now and prepare and post your profile detailing who you are, what you work on and any specifics of getting involved in meetings, training and mentoring. You will then be part of the MLSG network: people can find you to collaborate and share knowledge, and of course, you can also do the same. There is no membership fee: maintaining your profile annually is the only criteria for active membership, which puts you on the list for early information and reduced rates at MLSG meetings and events.

The MLSG – Migratory Landbird Study Group – is a network to connect people working on migrant landbirds, whether pure research or their conservation, to facilitate both. Collaboration and communication make a difference – particularly when the solution to understanding and conserving migrants must involve all of us on the flyways working together.

We are happy to announce a satellite symposium on "Landbird migration in different worlds" presented by the Migrant Landbird Study Group (MLSG) and the European Ornithologists Union (EOU) during the day of arrival at the 27th International Ornithological Congress in Vancouver, Canada.

On the 20th of August 2018, three plenary speakers will give insights into migration strategies and conservation issues related to landbirds moving along the world's major flyways:

The American Flyway - Caz Taylor (http://caz.tulane.edu/)
The Eurasian - African Flyway - Kasper Thorup (http://biodiversitet.snm.ku.dk/en/birdmigrationlab/)
The East Asian - Australasian Flyway - Simba Chan (http://storkibisspoonbill.org/simba-chan/)

These plenaries will be part of a day including student talks, panel & plenary discussions where we identify differences and common grounds between flyways for the effective conservation of migrant landbirds across the Globe.

The symposium is open to anyone interested in landbirds, migration and how fundamental differences or similarities in ecology might arise in different parts of the planet. Please remember to come to the IOC one day in advance to take part! More details will follow soon.
