International Conference on Insect Systematics and Evolutionary Biology

16-18 February, 2022


This conference aims to bring together some of the foremost researchers in ecology, evolution, and insect systematics from India and around the world. The conference will be organized in the Hybrid mode (i.e., a combination of online and offline lectures), thus allowing a much larger section of academics to take part.

Edward Osborne Wilson (1929 - 2021)

This conference is dedicated to the memory of Edward Osborne Wilson, scientist, naturalist, and a great synthesizer of ideas. At the dawn of his career, he, along with Robert MacArthur, carried out pioneering work on island biogeography, which explained patterns of colonisation and extinctions of species on islands as a function of their distance from the mainland as well as the size of the island.

Affectionately called the Ant Man, E. O. Wilson went on to become the world's leading myrmecologist who will be remembered for his pioneering contributions to the field of sociobiology, and his avid support for advances in global conservation.
