International Conference on Polyploidy, Hybridization and Biodiversity (ICPHB 2016)

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to inform you that International Conference on Polyploidy, Hybridization and Biodiversity (ICPHB 2016) will be held from May 11 to 14, 2016 in Rovinj, Croatia (http://www.hbd-sbc.hr/en/icphb2016/). This conference presents cutting edge research into the importance of polyploidy in genetics, evolution and ecology. The topics of the conference are organized in three core sessions: (1) the long-term and (2) immediate consequences of interspecific hybridization and polyploidy, and (3) polyploidy in light of ecological genetics. While previous polyploidy meetings have been dominated by plant research, there is now much exciting new data from animals and fungi, areas we are particularly keen to encourage. On behalf of the organizing committee, we cordially invite you to join the conference to communicate with the distinguished speakers and share your research results. Rovinj is one of the most developed tourist destinations in Croatia, boasting rich natural and cultural heritage with beautiful landmarks.
