Saturday Maj 14th: 

Scintific symposium in English: 
For love of insects – odours, diversity and ecology

An international symposium dedicated to the work of late Jan Tengö, heading the Ecological research station of Uppsala University at Ölands Skogsby. For several decades, at this island in the Baltic Sea, important work was performed within the fields of chemical and behavioral ecology in insects. Today, under the name of Station Linné, the station remains a key meeting place for scholars of different disciplines and nationalities. As a link between this period and future research, we present and discuss highlights of present day international insect research in chemical ecology, evolution of behavior and traits, systematic, and conservation ecology.
