Dear all,

This is a reminder that authors are invited to submit an abstract for their presentation or poster for the fifth biennial International Statistical Ecology Conference (ISEC2016), to be held 28 June - 1 July 2016 at the University of Washington in Seattle, USA. The submission deadline is 11:59pm PST (UTC -8:00) on Sunday, 10 January 2016.
