Symposium: Dispersal of marine organisms
![](/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Composite-image-for-dispersal-symposium-copy.jpg)
Understanding dispersal and its complex variables is critical to understanding ecology and evolution of life-histories of species, but research on dispersal tends to reflect or emphasize a particular discipline, such as population genetics, functional morphology, evolutionary and developmental biology, physiology and biophysics, or to emphasize a particular clade or functional groups (e.g. fish, plankto- or lecithotrophs, pelagic or benthic organisms in marine ecosystems). This symposium assembles an interdisciplinary group of outstanding young and established speakers to address dispersal in marine organisms in order to foster integration and cross-talk among different disciplines and to identify gaps in our knowledge and areas of future research. To facilitate a broad conversation, the symposium includes two discussion sessions.
