[Taxacom] HYM Course 2015: Application deadline extended to December 19, 2014

[Gates, Michael]

Hi All,

Given some recent emails received by potential applicants and in light of the recent Entomological Society of America meeting and Thanksgiving holiday in the USA, we are extending the application deadline for the HYM Course (see below). We have about 3 slots left until we reach our maximum enrollment.

Cheers,

Mike

To Whom It May Concern:

We are pleased to offer the  6th offering of the HYM Course to be held at the CRILAR_CONICET station in Anillaco-La Rioja, Argentina, March 1-9, 2015.
This is the ONLY course that offers a complete coverage of the entire order Hymenoptera, including collecting techniques and curatorial methods. This offering will feature a symposium on the last day focusing on a breadth of research topics covering hymenopteran phylogenetics, biology, ecology, biocontrol, etc. Details are available at: www.hymcourse.org.

The climate is desert, with annual rainfall of ~180 mm per year, with minimum winter temperatures of -12C and maximum in summer of 38 C. The foothill vegetation development reaches a mountain forest in some places where streams flow down from the mountains.
