This Functional Ecology conference will present the latest research on how organisms acquire and then make use of resources in metabolism, movement, growth, reproduction, as well as on how ecosystems cycle, store or lose resources through biotic and abiotic processes. The impacts of climate and anthropogenic changes on these processes will also be at the heart of the conference. There will be 6 sessions (for details, see the tag Sessions and keynotes):
Species responses to climate change and resource availability: flexibility mechanisms from the individual to the population
Functional ecology and agro-ecology: deepening the links
Enhancing the dialogue between modellers and experimentalists
Stoichiometry of biogeochemical cycles at various scales
Community structure and global changes
Emerging approaches and tools in functional ecology
