ISEC 2012 - call for abstracts

Postby torbjore » Mon Aug 15, 2011 8:03 am

The third biennial International Statistical Ecology Conference (ISEC2012) is now accepting abstracts. The conference will be held 3-6 July 2012 at Sundvolden Hotel outside Oslo.

Plenary speakers and titles:

- Nils Chr. Stenseth, Univ. of Oslo (Norway): Opening remarks
- Steinar Engen, Norwegian Univ. of Science and Technology (Norway): Stochastic age-structured modeling; dynamics, genetics and estimation
- Rachel Fewster, Univ. of Aukland (N.Z.): Genetics in statistical ecology
- Joanna Mills Flemming, Dalhousie University (Canada): The Ocean Tracking Network - Visualization tools and novel analyses for acoustic tracking data
- Otso Ovaskainen, Univ. of Helsinki (Finland): The analysis of spatial data: individual movements and species and community models
- André Punt, Univ. of Washington (U.S.): Estimating precautionary thresholds for US west coast fisheries
- Andy Royle, Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (U.S.): Incorporating auxiliary spatial information in capture-recapture models
- Len Thomas, Univ. of St. Andrews (Scotland): The future of statistical ecology

In addition to a wide range of session topics for contributed talks, there will be two special sessions with invited talks:

- Statistical approaches to paleobiological questions (chaired by Lee Hsiang Liow)
- The development and use of statistical methodology in fisheries research (chaired by Mark Maunder)

Other session topics may include mark-recapture methods, distance sampling methods, abundance estimation techniques, monitoring of biodiversity, study design, integrated population modelling, stochastic population dynamics modelling, stochastic multispecies modelling, stochastic modelling of animal movement, and other topics of interest to statistical ecologists.

There will also be four pre-conference workshops within the area of ecological statistics taking place 30 June to 3 July:

- AD Model Builder (by Mark Maunder, Hans Skaug and Andres Nielsen)
- Hierarchical modelling and R-package 'unmarked' (by Andy Royle and Richard Chandler)
- Population genetics for statisticians (by Rachel Fewster and Arnaud Le Rouzic)
- Model selection (by Nils Lied Hjort)

We welcome abstracts for contributed talks and poster presentations. Further information can be found at the conference website:

Abstract submission deadline is 20 January 2012. Registration opens late October 2011.
