8th International Conference on Biodiversity Research. Daugavpils, 28-30.04.2015.
Organising Committee of the 8th ICBR. December 2014.
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Organising Committee, it is my great honour and pleasure to invite you to participate in the
8th International Conference on Biodiversity Research (ICBR) to be held in the University of Daugavpils,
Latvia, on 28 - 30th April, 2015.
The ICBR is a well-established international meeting (previously called International Conference "Research
and conservation of biological diversity in Baltic Region") for scientific exchange of knowledge and ideas
bringing together conservation biologists, population biologists and researchers of related fields. We would
like to especially welcome students and postdoctoral researchers to the conference and we hope that you
will find this event useful and incentive. The meeting is known for its friendly atmosphere which gives
inspiration for new investigations and promotes collaboration between scientists.
At this conference we will highlight the latest trends in biodiversity: a biodiversity decline due to the
climate change, land use change, invasive species, overexploitation and pollution, and its indirect drivers, as
well as more traditional topics - biodiversity within and between species and variability among living
organisms from terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Both oral and poster presentations on any topic related
to research of the biological diversity will be accepted. It will possible to continue scientific discussions in
more unofficial ambience during the conference dinner and an excursion.
We believe that the ICBR 2015 will be an exciting and meaningful event, bringing together scientists from all
over the world and providing new ideas for future studies. We are looking forward to meeting you in
Daugavpils.
In the name of Scientific Committee
Prof., Dr. biol. Arvīds Barševskis
Chairman of the Organising Committee of the 8th ICBR
