9th Symposium on Mesozoic Terrestrial Ecosystems and Biota June 2006. Manchester UK Call for Abstracts The 9th Symposium on Mesozoic Terrestrial Ecosystems will take place at the University of Manchester from June 27th to June 29th, 2006. This international meeting will provide a forum for palaeontologists and geologists working on different aspects of Mesozoic continental ecosystems to meet and exchange ideas and information. The symposium will consist of three days of scientific presentations (plenary speakers, regular platform presentations, and posters). Preference will be given to those contributions that focus on the broader implications of Mesozoic biotas (e.g, overviews of particular clades or biotas, palaeoenvironments, palaeobiogeography, etc), rather than narrower descriptive studies. A symposium volume containing the meeting abstracts and short papers will be published and distributed at the meeting. We hereby invite submission of abstracts from those intending to participate in the meeting, whether as platform or poster presenters. The body of the abstract should be limited to 250 words (no figures, no references) and should present concrete and original research results rather than vague statements relating to work in progress. Electronic submission of abstracts is mandatory. Abstracts should include full contact information for all listed authors (i.e., address, e-mail) and should have the following format: Title, Authors (Surname, Initials), Addresses, Text, each beginning on a new line. Abstracts should be submitted as Word documents, single-spaced, left-hand justification for the text only, and Title, authors and addresses centred. Deadline for submission is 3rd June 2005 Authors may submit only one first-authored abstract for platform presentations, though multiple submissions are acceptable for poster contributions. Abstracts will be peer-reviewed for suitability and will be used to allot platform vs. poster slots. Authors will be contacted in late June/early July regarding the status of their presentation. Abstracts should be submitted to either Paul Barrett or Susan Evans at the addresses listed below.
