SECOND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

NEEC 2004
NORTHEASTERN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION CONFERENCE
UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT
STORRS, CONNECTICUT, USA
26-28 MARCH 2004

We invite all undergraduate, graduate, and
postdoctoral researchers in ecology, evolution,
environmental sciences, limnology, natural resource
management, marine sciences, and other related fields
to submit abstracts for either oral or poster
presentations at the second Northeast Ecology and
Evolution Conference (NEEC) to be held 26-28 March,
2004, at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT.
NEEC, like its sister conferences in the Midwest
(MEEC) and Southeast (SEEC), is a professional meeting
intended for students to present their research to
their colleagues. These events are designed to
encourage new personal and professional relationships
within our field and to share research ideas and
projects in all stages of development. While we
anticipate most NEEC participants to be from the
northeastern region of North America, we encourage and
welcome all individuals to submit abstracts and/or
attend.

We are please to announce our two keynote speakers,
Dr. Michael Soule and Dr. Kel Wieder. Dr. Soule is
Professor Emeritus in Environmental Studies,
University of California, Santa Cruz and is a founder
of the Society of Conservation Biology and the
Wildlands Project. His talk will follow the Saturday
evening banquet. Dr. Wieder is the current NSF Program
Director for Ecosystem Studies. His talk will be the
opening event of the conference, and will be followed
by a reception and mixer.

The University of Connecticut's main campus is located
in rural northeastern Connecticut, 1/2 hour drive from
Hartford, 11/2 hours from Boston and 21/2 hours from
New York City. The UConn campus is an ideal site for
NEEC 2004 for many reasons, including the university's
central location in the northeastern region. The
campus is the heart of the village of Storrs, a
section of the town of Mansfield with a growing
downtown area consisting of several restaurants and
retail stores. UConn is situated in an attractive
landscape of forested hills interspersed with pastoral
farms and small colonial New England villages.
