<P class=MsoNormal>Dear colleagues,</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’m organizing a small symposium on Syrphoidea (even though
recent molecular analysis does not support Pipunculidae + Syrphidae) for the 8th
International Congress of Dipterology, which will take place in Potsdam
(Germany), from August 10<SUP>th</SUP> to 15<SUP>th</SUP> 2014.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I would like to know if you are interested on giving a talk
on this matter to include you in the Syrphoidea symposium. The focus of the ICD
is broad: taxonomy, systematics, phylogenetics, natural history, but also
applied biology, conservation, and biogeography.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I think your contribution would be excellent for the
Congress. Please, find all the details here: <A
href="http://www.icd8.org/">http://www.icd8.org/</A> and check “Important
dates”. Please note that talks are 15 minutes including time for questions.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Please, answer this email if you are thinking on
participating and let me know your “preliminary title”. It would be great to
have you there.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Please distribute this email with your colleagues that may
find it interesting.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thank you!</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Sincerely,</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
