Call for contributions
The 16th OPTIMA (Organization for the Phyto-Taxonomic Investigation of the Mediterranean Area) meeting will be held in Athens (Greece) from the 2nd to the 5th of October 2019.
Symposium 7 at this meeting is organised by Christoph Oberprieler (Regensburg, Germany) and Karol Marhold (Bratislava, Slovakia) and deals with
New Methods in Plant Systematics
It will contain 5 oral communications each 30 minutes long (including questions). Talks may be given in English or in French, the official languages of the meeting.
To make a proposal for an oral contribution to this symposium please send an abstract of about one page before the February 15, 2019 to my email address
The following topics may be addressed:
- Next-Generation-Sequencing techniques (RAD-seq, GBS, etc.)
- Species-tree reconstruction methods
- species delimitation techniques
- eco-climatological niche modelling
- new morphometrical approaches
- experimental plant systematics
- cytological approaches
The propositions will be submitted to a scientific committee and a final programme established in March 2019. For accepted propositions, a definitive title and abstract of the talk should be submitted by the end of February 2016.
The organizing committee will have some limited funding to help finance the participation of speakers coming from outside of Greece.
