Freshwater decapods conference

Adding to an already bountiful set of crustacean conferences around the globe, the close of the year will see a conference on freshwater decapod crustaceans in Frankfurt, Germany. The organizers cite an “upsurge of interest in recent years” and that “significant numbers of species around the world are threatened with extinction” as reasons for this conference.

The conference will run 8-12 December 2010. More information can be found at http://www.senckenberg.de/freshwater_decapods.
