Dear Colleagues,


We are pleased to announce that registration is open for the 8th biennial
conference of the Systematics Association, held for the first time in
Northern Ireland!

There is an exciting programme that includes both plenaries and thematic
symposia, as well as a large number of contributed sessions. Currently
scheduled symposia include:

       - Next Generation Systematics - Studying Evolution and Diversity
         in an Era of Ubiquitous Genomics
       - Arthropod Systematics: are Morphology, Palaeontology and
         Molecules Coming Together?
       - Algal Systematics: Where Next?
       - Advances in Using Museum Specimens and Ancient DNA in
         Systematics Research

Symposia will include a mixture of talks from invited speakers and other
contributions. The Biennial also presents excellent opportunities for
contributed papers on any aspect of systematics and is a great forum
for students and young researchers to present their work. For further
details, please see http://www.systass.org/biennial2011/.

On behalf of the conference organisers, we hope to see you there!
