The conference offers various types of scientific communication, including oral presentations and posters. Oral presentations will be allocated to specific thematic sessions, which include the following topics: Conservation biology – Ecology – Taxonomy – Evolution and development – Biomimetics – Ecophysiology – Others. The exact themes of the sessions will be refined based on the submitted abstracts.
The Scientific Committee will be responsible for selecting individuals for oral presentations, including the possibility of double-slot presentations.
Oral communication:
Two types of oral presentations are available: standard oral communication (12 minutes plus 3 minutes for questions) and double-slot communication (25 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions).
