Using a wealth of knowledge to deal with complex ecological problems.
Sfécologie conference, Marseille, France 24-28 october 2016
At the sfécologie conference in Marseille in October 2016, there was a very interesting session, the first for CESAB, in which 12 CESAB groups presented their work.
The topics presented during this special session focus on some of the many aspects of biodiversity in this troubled era. More than 180 people were involved in the twelve CESAB projects represented here. Each of these projects is, or promises to be, an unrivaled synthesis and collection of information and data that would otherwise be scattered. All of these efforts are important to leverage information treasures to produce new answers to complex ecological questions.
