Student Sessions5-7th September
Dear students and colleagues, we are pleased to invite you to join the Student Sessions, as part of the official SEH Congress in Belgrade.
The three sessions are designed for young researchers at an early stage in their career and will include three sessions. In a series of informal talks, we hope to encourage the exchange of research ideas and methods and facilitate sharing of knowledge and experience related to studies of reptiles and amphibians.
This is an opportunity to share your ongoing research, discuss ideas and questions that intrigue you, and to form new collaborations. If you would like to present your research at these
sessions contact us through the email addresses listed below. We look forward to hearing your story!
The sessions will be held at the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, right next to the venue of the official SEH Congress, after the main program has concluded. Due to limited space, the maximum number of participants per session will be 30.
The three sessions are:
1. Conservation
Conservation of amphibian and reptile populations is an important topic that concerns both scientists and the non-scientific community. The difficulties in the process of translating academic studies to real-world actions on species conservation urge to be addressed. We would like to hear your experience in conservation, to share advice and contribute to tackling this issue.

2. Ecology & Ethology
Ecology and ethology are broad fields covering a wide array of topics ranging from social interactions, foraging, ecology of movement and escape from predators. All of these processes require different types of adaptations which inevitably determine the fate of an individual. Within this session, we aim to bring together researchers interested in different aspects of behavior and ecology of reptiles and amphibian

3. Biodiversity & Evolution
From species and ecosystem diversity, across genetic diversity, numerous topics are highly intriguing, while many questions still lack answers. We believe that the topics on evolutionary processes that generate and maintain genetic diversity and on the species biodiversity patterns in time and space will stimulate an active discussion sparked with new ideas and research subjects.
