About the symposium:

The 6^th International Tenebrionoidea Virtual Symposium is a chance for researchers interested in Tenebrionoidea to come together and share our research. Presentation topics can include any aspect of their biology, including taxonomy, systematics, biogeography, conservation, or ecology. Presentations highlighting significant collections of Tenebrionoidea, in terms of overall specimen diversity or history, are also welcome. Time will be made during the meeting for social mixing, discussions on large-scale projects that could be undertaken by our community, and next steps towards strengthening international cooperation between Tenebrionoidea researchers. Attendance is free, though registration is required.

Types of presentations:

Intent to give a presentation should be indicated by ticket type (regular 12 min, lightning 5 min, poster, or attending but not presenting).

In addition to presentations of scientific studies, we also welcome talks with a more narrative focus, such as virtual tours of historical specimens/collections that are important to tenebrionoid research or narratives of tenebrionoid-related fieldwork.

Talks must be pre-recorded. We invite speakers to present in their native language, but ask that non-English talks be subtitled in English.

Registration deadline: March 15th, 2021.

An email request for talk title and a short abstract will be sent after registering, along with instructions and helpful hints for recording presentations.

Fees: Participation in the conference is free of charge
