SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL ** PRESQUE ISLE **
SYMPOSIUM ON * MAINE, U.S.A. *
AQUATIC OLIGOCHAETES 18 - 22 AUGUST 1997
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
Time to think of the seventh symposium! It will be held on the campus of the
University of Maine at Presque Isle during the 18th to 22nd August 1997. You
are invited to present a paper on your research in either oral or poster
format, or attend and contribute to discussions on oligochaetology. The
major topics of the papers in the symposium will include morphology,
systematics, evolution, biogeography, ecology, pollution biology, parasite
interactions, and physiology of oligochaetes. Contributions on leech
phylogeny and systematics are also welcome. Please share this invitation with
your colleagues.
The University of Maine at Presque Isle is one of the smaller campuses in the
State University System. Most of the buildings are new and convenient to the
adjacent city. Presque Isle is located in northern Maine with the Northern
Maine Regional airport located only 3km from the campus. Most flights fly
directly the 650km from Presque Isle into the Boston International airport.
Presque Isle is situated on US Route 1, 65km north of the end of Interstate
95, and 30km west of the TransCanada Highway as it passes through
Perth-Andover, New Brunswick, Canada.
Accommodation, meals and scientific sessions will be held on the campus. The
accommodation is in high standard student dormitories, with two people sharing
a room. Single person rooms are available at a slightly higher price. If
more expensive motel accommodation is desired, this can be booked at one of
two motels within 300m of the campus. Tentative prices will be a registration
fee of 100 USD (maximum) and about 40 USD per day for food and dormitory
accommodation. Accurate prices will be given in the Second Announcement.
Please return your tentative registration form BEFORE 1 September 1996. If you
wish to make an oral or a poster presentation please indicate which on the
attached form. When, and how long your oral presentation will be, will be
announced later. In order to keep the mailing cost as low as possible, only
tentatively registered colleagues will be sent the Second Announcement.
