Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to participate in the 1st International Electronic Conference on Biological Diversity, Ecology, and Evolution (BDEE 2021), sponsored by the MDPI open access journal Diversity. The meeting is an opportunity for researchers in the field of science of biodiversity to present their research and exchange ideas with colleagues. This is an electronic conference, removing the need to travel and eliminating participation expenses.
The conference will be organized around the following general topics, providing a forum for presenting and discussing new results. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
1. Marine diversity
2. Animal diversity
3. Plant diversity
4. Microbial diversity and culture collections
5. Chemical biodiversity and chemical ecology
6. Biodiversity conservation
7. Biogeography and macroecology
8. Phylogeny and evolution
9. Biodiversity loss and dynamics
10. Mesophotic ecosystems diversity
11. Invasive species and diversity
This will be a virtual conference held at www.sciforum.net, a platform developed and sponsored by MDPI to organize and provide technical support for electronic conferences.
The format of the conference is as follows: After abstract acceptance, the authors will submit a pre-recorded video presentation or a series of narrated slides that will be accessible online, open for discussion, comments, and questions during the entire conference and will remain available after the e-conference. Authors are requested to submit a full description of their work in a conference paper that will be peer reviewed and, upon acceptance, probably published in the MDPI Biology and Life Sciences Forum journal. Paper submission is not a requirement for active conference participation.
The participation is free of charge for both authors and attendees. The accepted proceedings papers will probably be published in the MDPI Biology and Life Sciences Forum journal and available online on the MDPI website. Selected extended versions of the papers will be published in a Special Issue of the journal Diversity with a 20% discount on the article processing charge (ISSN 1424-2818; Diversity).
The best conference paper and presentation will receive an award of 500 CHF, as well as an offer to publish an extended paper, free of charge, in the Special Issue of Diversity.
We look forward to engaging in exciting discussions and hearing new ideas and perspectives from experts in the field. All participants are welcome to join the online conference.
Kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Michael Wink
