International Symposium on Littorinid Biology and Evolution (http://webs.uvigo.es/isolbe/) will be held in the Talaso Hotel at Oia (NW Spain) during 2-7th September 2008. This meeting will deal with any topic related to biology and evolution of littorinid snails, and related marine gastropods. Two expert researchers will open the daily sessions as invited speakers (Dr. B.R. Silliman and Dr. J.A. Coyne), and both oral and written contributions will be welcome. The meeting has been traditionally multi disciplinary and very
friendly, and it is a good opportunity for students and young scientists to share their work. There will be also three concurrent workshops aiming to train young scientists in
different methods related to littorinid research:

I.    Morphometric and taxonomic techniques (P. Conde-Padín & E. Rolán-Alvarez).
II.    Evolutionary software for analysis of mating behavior (A. Carvajal-Rodríguez and E. Rolán-Alvarez).
III.  Sequence data analysis (D. Posada and H. Quesada).

The deadline for inscription and abstract submission is the 15th of July. All needed information is in the WEB page (see above).
