There is a rising tide of interest in urban environments: with the world’s human population still growing and UN habitat predictions forecasting that by 2050, 7 people out of 10 will be living in urban areas, the urban space is of intrinsic focal interest to humans worldwide, biologists included. With its conspicuously altered ecological dynamics, the urban environment stands in stark contrast to the natural environment that has been used as research ground for virtually all long-term studies of vertebrates investigated in the wild and used as cornerstones in evolutionary ecology research.
In this talk, Dr Charmantier will present a nascent, yet fast-growing field of research: Urban Evolutionary Ecology. She will present a diversity of studies in a large range of taxa, including work of her group on forest and urban great tits. She will argue that the city offers unique opportunities to study fundamental eco-evolutionary processes and will show how this work can provide novel insight for urban conservation planning.

Session description:

Within the next 30 years, the land-cover of anthropized habitats such as agricultural and urban habitats is scheduled to increase by at least 50%. Assessing how the management practices of these habitats impact on their biodiversity and ability to provide ecosystem goods and services is therefore critical. Among pivotal ecosystem functions, pollination is partly provided by insects like Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Coleoptera in temperate ecosystems. Maintaining pollinating insects is essential in agricultural landcapes, as crop production depends on pollination for 75% of cultivated plants. Pollinator conservation in urbanized habitats is also important, because of the increasing need for local food production and the risk of parallel declines between pollinating insects and flowering plants, in a context of growing need of citizens for nature and biodiversity in their surroundings. In these two examples of ecosystems, pollinator conservation requires changes in management practices, including less pesticides use. It also seems essential to rethink composition and structure of landscapes and the connectivity of favourable habitats, while preserving the diversity of floral resources for pollinator feeding and nesting spaces for their reproduction. The aim of this symposium is to gather knowledge on how changes in the management practices and landscape structure of anthropized environments impact on the diversity of pollinating insects and the maintenance of the pollinating function. We will discuss about the effectiveness of these management changes for pollinator conservation, in a context of agro-ecological transition and conciliation between human activity and biodiversity conservation.

· Session description

Ambitious biodiversity policies within the framework of “transformative change” (Ipbes, 2019) require convincing “desirable” scenarios, supported by robust modelling, related with stakeholders cognition and imaginaries, aspirations.
Scenarios consider multiple plausible, alternative, futures, based on 1/ present decisions and actions of societies, 2/ relationships within socio-ecosystems and 3/ uncertainties. They can, in turn, help to build future responses and solutions, to consider the necessary decisions and actions.

This symposium, organized as a round table, will discuss the conceptual and methodological issues of an interdisciplinary program focused on participatory construction of exploratory and/or targeted scenarios (Ipbes, 2016). Their development requires the use of qualitative and quantitative methods based on data and participatory methods (Oteros-Rozas et al., 2011) (Kok and Van Delden, 2013).

From this perspective, we plan, with stakeholders, to connect qualitative / quantitative data collected via narratives / cognitive maps and quantitative models:
• Narratives: science-fiction, projection into a desirable future but also dystopia, interaction of stakeholders, management of “common goods”, anticipation of lock-ins… with perspective to establishing a platform for the exchange of practices (protocols, case-studies, achievements).
• Cognitive maps: representation of biodiversity-science-society relations or coevolution, convergences or contradictions between individual and collective representations and actions, role of scientists, decision-makers, social movement and media in collective decision-making…
• Modelling: inclusion of societal aspects (e.g. organization, values, technologies), of mechanisms and interactions within socio-ecosystems, prioritization of direct and indirect pressures, responses and adaptations, uncertainties…

Practical cases, based on natural-based solutions, their promises and limits, could be considered.

At the end, this program will help to:
• Scientifically explore biodiversity complexity: dynamics, interactions and non-linearities, uncertainty.
• Move towards a shared stewardship of biodiversity issues with stakeholders: awareness, knowledge, responsibilities assumption, democratic debate, collective organization…
• Identify and prioritize levers and leverage points proficient to initiate transformative changes.

Abstract:
Soil is a heterogeneous and opaque environment that limit interactions between soil organisms. Trophic interactions determine the transformation of organic matter and the flux of energy across trophic levels. Biomarkers enabled to describe complex soil food webs with increasing precision, but what determine interactions remains largely unknown. Soil structure may be an important determinant of trophic interaction but was little studied yet. In addition, non-trophic interactions co-occur with trophic ones, and are also crucial to determine soil functioning, but trophic and non-trophic interactions rarely studied together in soils. For example, ecosystem engineers that modify the soil structure interact with numerous soil organisms by shaping their habitat, modifying their mobility and dispersal. Ecosystem engineers modify the pore structure and connectivity, and thus the renewal of gas and transfer of liquid phase, which is essential for the activity of soil organisms. Changes in soil pore connectivity is also thought to drive encounter probabilities between soil organisms, and thus trophic interactions.
To better understand what drives interactions in soil and how it affect soil functioning, a spatial approach is needed. We envision that interdisciplinary work at the interface between soil ecology and soil physics (that enable to describe the soil structure/microhabitats) will provide clues to advance this research frontier. This symposium aims to provide an overview of methods (experimental, modelling) to study trophic and non-trophic interactions in soil, and recent conceptual advance on the topic.

Session description (max 300 words):
More and more ecologists are now using various types of images to address ecological questions. These images include satellite data of continental landscapes and ocean surface, photos of large organisms taken from camera traps, underwater videos of fish or benthic habitats, individual images of organisms taken in situ or in the lab, plant images taken from a smartphone, etc. Although these images have very different characteristics (automatic vs manual acquisition, homogeneous or complex background, community, population or individual scale, pixel resolution, color vs. back and white, etc.), ecologists are facing common issues and challenges. They include in particular detection and segmentation problems, how to efficiently use transfer learning approaches or how to deal with class imbalance in automatic classification algorithms. This symposium aims at gathering computer scientists interested in ecological applications and ecologists collecting and analyzing ecological images to exchange on common interdisciplinary issues.

Session description
Biodiverse ecosystems harbors numerous and tangled ecological interactions that shape their functioning and dynamics. The study of ecological interaction networks has led to a substantial body of theoretical knowledge. We now understand the general relationships between the structure and dynamics of food webs and mutualistic networks, as well as the main drivers of network assembly. These general advances have been possible thanks to pioneering empirical works that have assembled challenging data on interaction networks. This limiting step of data acquisition is being revolutionized by modern technologies such as DNA meta-barcoding or autonomous devices for sound and image processing. These next generation techniques not only change our previous understanding of ecological interactions, but also offer the promises of democratizing the collection and use of network data for a wide array of applications. These applications include the integrated management of ecosystems for conservation, the design and monitoring of sustainable fisheries, the ecological intensification of agriculture or the design of biodiversity-friendly productive landscapes, all of these applications being of tremendous relevance to tackle the challenges posed by global changes.
The objective of this symposium is to spotlight recent works that mobilize a network approach for ecological applications, in a wide array of ecosystem types. By gathering scientists belonging to distinct scientific communities, we aim at revealing common trends, challenges and perspectives for the use of ecological interaction networks for action.
Organization of the session: 7 talks of 15 min including questions followed by 15 min of general discussion with the audience on the perspectives of use of network approaches for action.

Session description:
Racism has been closely entangled with research in ecology and evolutionary biology (EEB) since its beginnings. For instance, eugenics has plagued the birth of population genetics, and is closely entangled with major groundbreaking work, such Galton’s work on heritability or Fisher’s seminal 1930 book. While many biologists were deeply involved in the fight against racism, first of all by deconstructing the vernacular, phenotypic-based, notion of race, depriving it of any biological significance (e.g., Mayr or Dobzhansky and their contribution to the UNESCO declaration on race), a few others have consistently performed questionable investigations with a clear racist agenda. Scientific racism, intertwined first with the concepts of r-K selection, and now with behavioural genomics, keeps emerging at the margins of ecology and evolution.
Current societal movements such as #BlackLivesMatter or prominent popular scientific publications like Saini’s “Superior” have cast a new spotlight on racism (both open and systemic) in EEB. Most recently an intense discussion regarding E.O. Wilson’s legacy, sparked by McLemore’s highly debated Opinion piece in Scientific American, its answers by prominent evolutionary biologists, and papers by historians (e.g., Borello and Sepkoski in NYRB, which, in the past, has hosted heated debates about sociobiology), who documented controversial unpublished letters by E.O. Wilson, has erupted, putting racism at the center stage of various social media discussions in the EEB social media bubble.
Interestingly, this discussion, which we urgently need to have as a scientific field, has largely taken place outside of scientific societies and, at the same time, has not taken advantage of the existing competence of researchers studying research, that is, historians and philosophers of science. Our symposium is a first attempt at formalizing this discussion in order to help the EEB community face up to its racist past and pave the way for a more inclusive future.

Global degradation has a negative impact on the well-being of at least 3.2 billion people and represents a cost of more than 10% of the annual gross world product in loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Alongside climate change, unsustainable land and ocean uses threaten the survival of a quarter of global species and affect the provision of ecosystem services crucial to our well-being. Ecological restoration can help protect biodiversity, increase the provision of ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration, and improve human well-being. The UN Decade of Ecological Restoration 2021-2030 and the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 define a new framework to meet global environmental challenges and improve the status of European nature. Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers across Europe should join forces to define restoration strategies that are based on a thorough understanding of social-ecological systems. These strategies must address multiple management scales, integrating ecological restoration into land-use planning, and responding to the challenge posed by international commitments. The European proposal of Nature Restoration Law will entail the need to (i) update the proposed guidelines at national and subnational level, (ii) develop prioritization frameworks and define priority areas for restoration, integrating top-down and bottom-up initiatives, (iii) analyze the consequences of different restoration scenarios, (iv) design operational participation protocols in the different phases of restoration programs, and (v) explore business opportunities in urban and rural settings. In this presentation, I will summarize the Nature Restoration Law, review its challenges and opportunities, and propose a multidisciplinary approach for translating the law into national guidelines and priorities for ecological restoration. The approach is structured along 5 main axes: diagnose, prioritization, financing and cost-effectiveness, social impact and participation, and quality, and it is currently being developed in a project led by the Spanish Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, involving ca. 100 experts.

Session description :
Land use change and agricultural intensification are considered major drivers of biodiversity loss and can impair ecosystem functions and services in agricultural landscapes. At the same time, agricultural production relies on vital agroecosystems and species providing important ecosystem services, such as decomposition, biological pest control and pollination. Hence, we need innovative production systems that sustain agrobiodiversity and promote ecosystem services (e.g. ecological intensification). Moreover, managing agricultural landscapes for heterogeneity could simultaneously enhance agricultural production and agrobiodiversity. While scientific support that these practices should work, examples that show that this works in practice are relatively scarce.
In this symposium, we will focus on how different approaches and measures increase the diversification of cropping systems in agricultural landscapes, and what their effects are on pollinator conservation and pollination services. The two main approaches to enhance diversity in agricultural landscapes are to increase diversity within the agricultural system itself, or to increase diversity in non-productive habitats. For instance, changes in the agricultural system, such as intercropping, mixed-cropping or the diversification of crop sequences, could result in enhanced crop diversity in space and time, and subsequently higher pollinator biodiversity and pollination services. At the landscape level, diversification of biodiversity-friendly land cover types, such as semi-natural habitats or agri-environmental measures, could contribute to increased heterogeneity of the landscape, with positive effects on biodiversity and provisioning of ecosystem services. In this symposium, we will highlight examples of what works and what does not work, and what appears to be success factors or barriers. We will furthermore synthesize evidence on how crop cultivation can contribute to pollinator conservation and discuss future avenues for more pollinator-friendly and productive agricultural landscapes.

Session description :
Climate change impacts and related disturbances are strongly affecting forests worldwide. Tree mortality is increasing while forest productivity is declining in many regions, which compromises crucial contributions of forests to people (goods provision such as wood or non-woody products, habitat provision for biodiversity, air and water filtering, protection against natural hazards and soil erosion…), as well as the possibility of using forest conservation and restoration as a Nature based Solution for climate change mitigation. The adaptation of forests to climate change is a tremendous challenge for practitioners, as recognized in recent ambitious international commitment such as the European Green Deal. Yet, adaptive forest management needs to accommodate multi-dimensional constraints, including the economic aspects. The design of new management guidelines to be adopted in the face of climate change is thus strongly debated. In particular, tree diversity was identified as a crucial leverage for forest adaption, for instance via provenance selection and tree species mixing. Other proposed practices, such as more frequent thinning, increased harvesting intensity or introduction of exotic species, need to be discussed in light of both carbon sequestration and biodiversity objectives. As this topic is now strongly linked to current decision in national and international forest policies, it seems timely to hold this symposium as it will review the current scientific evidence supporting (or not) methods of forest adaption to climate change, and discuss their implications for biodiversity conservation and the forest’s contributions to people.

Session description

Arts are privileged places of individual and collective recomposition of cultural processes. They document the concerns of their time but they also carry new horizons of desires and practices for the future societies. The arts shape ways of seeing, feeling, moving and speaking about the world. In this way they open sensitive paths, symbols, figures, stories, corporalities, thus building collective cultural perceptions that reinvent our relationship to reality.

Artists and scientists cultivate different ways of looking at the world from practices and theoretical frameworks that are often unfamiliar to both. If creativity seems to be common, the investigations, the analyses, the modes of productions or restitution seem very distant, even antinomic and so often hierarchize in terms of knowledges. In the last twenty years, fruitful alliances between Arts and Sciences have been invented and growing on ecological themes. Visual artists, choreographers, sound artists, circus artists… call upon scientists for their projects (Nicolas Floch', Anaïs Tondeur, (n), Jennifer Monson, Andrea Olsen...). Initiatives from scientists emerge also.

Faced with ecological disasters, many scientists who actively contribute to enlighten and disentangle the phenomena in progress, try to make their research known to the general public through art. They estimate that the sensitive and formal character (visual, sensory, immersive) of arts would be promising to the transmissions of knowledge, to the public debate of our collective futures. Facing the current state of the world and the political inaction, they are often themselves taken by feelings of hopelessness and discouragement to which the scientific register, little able to recognize the existence of subjectivation processes, cannot answer.
From this form of art instrumentalization sometimes comes experiences full of creative synergies that will be shared, without omitting the difficulties of interdisciplinary work. During this symposium we will also discuss how arts-sciences intersect, for instance in terms of “methods” employed, and how this contributes to a renewal of study corpus. The Symposium welcome scientists mainly from scientific ecology (the SFE2, Gfö, EEF communities) who are engaged in singular approaches with artists, artworks or artistic practices.

Session description:

Ecosystems face massive anthropogenic disruptions. It is thus imperative to develop a predictive approach to the dynamics of populations and communities subjected to changing environmental conditions. The study of the effect of climate-defining physical factors on the biogeochemical processes of the ecosystem is already well developed. But there is no equivalent theory yet on the direct effects of these same factors on intraspecific and interspecific ecological interactions. A theory describing interactions between individuals in a mechanistic way will necessarily be complex, because it must integrate physiological, behavioral and ecological processes. Adding a physical, environmental component can, however, help to simplify it. Indeed, physical laws are ubiquitous and unescapable. All ecological interactions includes physical processes, since they require from the individuals involved to perform mechanical movements or use their physical senses. Many advances have resulted from the use of physical principles in order to predict the existence and intensity of trophic interactions. New fields of research with more or less overlapping domains have appeared: ecomechanics, physical ecology, mechanoethology, mechanical ecology, among others. This symposium aims to define the potentialities and limits of a mechanistic approach to ecological interactions based on the physical properties of both the environment and the organisms. This analysis will be done through presentations of case studies and theoretical models, followed by a panel discussion with the aim to unify frameworks and methodologies.

How to summarize 30 years of research? A challenging task, but as is science. Early on, ecosystems were my objects of research, and they stayed in the focus ever since. From questions how ecosystems responded to N deposition and what the fate of this N within the system was, to questions how terrestrial ecosystems from the boreal zone to the tropics function in terms of their biogeochemistry and biosphere-atmosphere exchange, to questions how climate change, biodiversity loss, and land use affect those processes on the systems scale, the breadth of my research topics over these 30 years has been large. The choice of these topics has always been driven by curiosity and the ambition to work on grand challenges, contributing to science-based, sustainable solutions using observations and experiments. This also meant leaving my comfort zone of existing knowledge of facts, techniques, and ecosystems, challenging at times, but always rewarding. Complementing classical ecological methodology with those from micrometeorology and stable isotope applications opened new windows on those ecosystem processes, offering insights at different time scales, from 20 Hz to centuries. Working with great group members and incredible colleagues in small, national to big, international projects further sparked ideas, taken up in projects, publications or awaiting the reviewers ́ decisions.
The Swiss FluxNet, a network of six long-term ecosystem flux measurement sites, is the base of many projects. We quantify greenhouse gas fluxes and their drivers for three major land-use types in Switzerland, i.e., cropland, grassland, and forest. Up to now, we have 111 site-years of flux data, all openly available, ranging from CO2 and H2O vapour fluxes from a cropland with the 2nd longest time- series globally to CH4 and N2O fluxes of grassland and forest at different elevations. Measurements on soil carbon stocks, vegetation phenology, plant ecophysiology or remotely sensed proxies complement these flux studies. In this talk, selected highlights of past and on-going research will be presented.

Abstract:
Networks provide a powerful way to explore ecological complexity and have generated numerous insights into the understanding of the structure, function, and dynamics of ecological communities. While ecological networks have been fundamental to ecological theory, they have mostly been defined at a single point in space and time, and/or aggregated over multiple spatial locations and times. Moreover, they typically describe a single interaction type at a time (e.g. feeding or competition), although species in nature are clearly connected by a myriad of interaction types simultaneously. A few years ago, advances in the theory of ‘multilayer’ networks have provided a promising approach to incorporate these different facets of complexity in our descriptions of ecological communities. Such an approach allows space, time, multiple organizational levels and multiple interaction types to be incorporated into species interaction networks. The objective of this symposium is to show recent progresses made in the study of multilayer networks and to discuss how these novel approaches have contributed to improving our current understanding of ecological communities.

Session description :

The biodiversity crisis needs to be tackled in unison with the climate crisis and health crisis. The rise of One Health, Planetary Health or EcoHealth concepts also underline the close linkages between the state of ecosystems and human health, and ask for interdisciplinary approaches to tackle these global crises. Biodiversity links to health via four pathways, (i) reducing harm (e.g. provision of food, medicines, regulating climate, air and noise pollution); (ii) restoring capacities (e.g. attention restoration, stress reduction); (iii) building capacities (e.g. promoting physical activity, transcendent experiences); and (iv) causing harm (e.g. dangerous wildlife, zoonotic diseases, allergens). It is often postulated that ecosystem degradation favors both the emergence and the risk of transmission of these pathogens while restoration may contribute to a nature based health solutions. Forests, for example, are the main reservoir of terrestrial biodiversity and are currently threatened by climate change, becoming the object of much attention for the prevention of global sanitary risks. But conversely, forests also deliver ecosystem dis-services related to human health, e.g. through habitat provisioning for vectors of disease pathogens. This symposium will therefore review advances in ecological research on the functional link between biodiversity and human health risk mitigation, in the context of global change. In accordance with the One Health approach, it will adopt a multidisciplinary point of view, welcoming ecologists, physiologists, medical professionals and related disciplines.

· Session description:

Microbial communities are increasingly considered as units of selection in experiments and models. However, they differ from traditional units of selection such as individual organisms or genes since they do not exhibit the same degree of cohesion and stability, nor possess easily recognizable life cycles. Their ecological dynamics is thus key to understand their evolutionary dynamics. Experiments on natural or artificial selection of microbial communities are increasingly developed. They are guided by applied objectives, like improving the efficiency to perform a given function (e.g. to degrade a pollutant or improve plant growth), and/or by conceptual ones, such as unraveling their ecological and evolutionary dynamics, and defining their status in terms of selection unit. Some models are trying to mimic experiments and identify strategies to improve experimental protocols, others are focused on describing communities as complex systems. What makes microbial communities legitimate units of selection is a key conceptual question that started to be addressed in a small number of recent papers, with a diversity of perspectives, which reveals a cogent need to discuss the advantages and drawbacks of different modeling and experimental approaches.
The objectives of this symposium are to:
- communicate to the international community of ecology and evolution on this emerging field of research
- strengthen the links between ecology and evolution by gathering people from these disciplines and at their interface
- develop a common culture, encompassing theoretical and applied approaches, to promote the dialogue between experiments and models

Session description

Since generations thousands of teachers of conventional classrooms and educators of informal outreach facilities invested tremendous efforts into educational initiatives to improve environmental attitudes and behaviours of students. When analysing adolescent conceptions in relation to Environmental Education (EE) and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), responses overlap while statements concerning social and economy contexts contribute to substantial differences in EE and ESD. Under both umbrellas, outreach experience allows kids and adolescents to value nature and environment – and after frequent experience to understand the science behind ecosystems and related dilemmas which we face currently and which we need to cope with in the future. While cognitive issues are likewise conventionally to be monitored, variables such as attitudes and values or even behaviour are not. That is why, from the 1970ies to the 1990ies there were many measurement approaches applied, seemingly with more instruments than researchers were working in the field. Most instruments were developed for adult populations that is why the development of the 2-MEV scale (2 Major Environmental Values) for the age-group of adolescents began and on the basis on a solid theoretical foundation defined to measure on the basis of primary factors two higher order factors labelled as values: Preservation (PRE) and Utilization (UTL). The 2-MEV model received a quite new promotion when further independent research teams also repeatedly confirmed the two factor second order structure. Its increasingly worldwide use allows comparing and fine-tuning programmes of different backgrounds. Up to now several dozen studies were using the scale: Some providers are already satisfied that the measurement basis does not need further defence and numbers are secured. Others present the results on conferences and even invest the effort to publish. The educational efforts must go on to extract essentials out of thousands of programmes applied in the world.

Macroecology assesses large-scale, multi-species ecological patterns and the processes driving them. How species distributions and diversity change through time is one of the major questions of this subfield of Ecology. Recent works highlighted how past environmental conditions influenced the current distribution of species through several mechanisms, including shifts of species’ ranges and varying rates of speciation and extinction through time. In parallel to these past influences, several ongoing environmental changes are currently at play. Global warming is heavily acting on species’ ranges while a massive spread of alien species is altering the diversity in a multi-dimensional way. These major trends are expected to influence all facets of biodiversity, from taxonomic to functional and phylogenetic patterns.
This symposium focuses on notable advances in linking macroecological patterns to changes over time. We specifically aim at synthesizing how past and ongoing changes in environmental conditions are affecting patterns of diversity across taxa and scales by addressing the following questions. What were the main environmental drivers affecting macroevolutionary rates in the past? How were and will species track their suitable conditions and how is it changing their distributions? How are exotic species spreading and changing biodiversity across the globe and how are global changes altering taxonomic and functional biomes?

Session description:

How will future cities enable urban nature to thrive, mitigate climate change, and maintain ecosystem functions, upon which the livability of the world’s cities depends? What can urban ecology and evolution as a science, practice and participatory tool offer to the function and livability of future cities? Cities are faced with fundamental challenges including climate change, urban sprawl and densification and invasion with detrimental impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem functions and nature contributions to people. The city of the future describes a vision of urban environments that enhance the quality of life, while also protecting biodiversity and maintaining ecosystem functioning. Urban ecology has in recent decades vastly improved our mechanistic understanding of urban environments, offering theoretical insights to science while also delivering practical tools to urban planners and policy makers. In this session, we bring together research in urban ecology and evolution that is contributing to our fundamental understanding of urban ecosystems and landscapes to inform their management and design for more biodiverse and environmentally just cities in the future.

The goals of this forward-thinking symposium are to: 1) provide a mechanistic understanding and predictability of urban biodiversity and ecological and evolutionary processes under different global change scenarios, including socio-ecological drivers, trait-based approaches, and evolutionary tools; 2) illuminate drivers of biodiversity, ecosystem functions, natures contribution to people, but also, importantly, of environmental justice in current and future cities; and 3) identify solution-oriented ecologically- and evolutionary-informed urban management and planning geared to preserve biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and natures contribution to people.

The symposium will be affiliated with the GfÖ-Specialist Group “Urban Ecology” and thus with Group events as well as many opportunities for exchange.

=> Awardee talk entitled: "Aspects of life in small populations: inbreeding, environmental stress and phenotypic plasticity"

Abstract

Plants growing in small populations face several challenges. When environmental conditions change, plants have to adapt or respond plastically. Moreover, they can only choose their mates from the small pool available, so inbreeding is more frequent than in large populations. When pollinators are declining or not attracted by the few plants of a rare species, plants may even have to completely rely on selfing for reproductive assurance. As a consequence, inbreeding reduces offspring fitness (“inbreeding depression”) and can influence plant functional and reproductive traits. However, environmental change and inbreeding depression usually are not independent, and it is often assumed that inbreeding depression generally increases under stressful conditions. In my research I am taking these aspects of small populations into the greenhouse or common garden to study the effects of inbreeding and environmental stress on various aspects of plant life under controlled conditions. I will present evidence from different plant species to show which types of stress do or do not increase inbreeding depression, and I will explain effects of inbreeding on phenotypic plasticity, and modifying effects of plant size on inbreeding-stress interactions. Finally I will bring these findings back to natural populations and discuss the effects of inbreeding on the success of ex situ plant conservation.

Changing our relation to publishing in the light of the San Francisco declaration on research assessment

The Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA, https://sfdora.org/about-dora/), which has been signed by quite a few French, German, Swiss and Austrian research organizations since its development 10 years ago, has highlighted ways to improve the process of research assessment. Among all the recommendations featured in DORA, a serious emphasis was given on the publication process, particularly "the need to assess research on its own merits rather than on the basis of the journal in which the research is published" and "the need to capitalize on the opportunities provided by online publication". In the meantime, academia has had to face the rise of predatory publishing, i.e. online journals charging onerous article-processing charges (APC) for very quick and dirty reviewing and easy publication.
The purpose of this discussion, spurred by the work of the 67th section of the CNU (French National University Council, in charge of many assessments regarding professors and lecturers), is to collectively exchange on a few topics linked to publication and research assessment:
* the issue of predatory publishing and its interaction with research assessment;
* acknowledging preprints in research assessment;
* the various new means of publishing and their pros and cons;
* how to improve academia through better research assessment and better publishing practices;
* behaviour of researchers as authors vs. researchers as evaluators: can we cure our collective schizophrenia?

In the Anthropocene, most if not all ecosystems are influenced by multiple stressors including several thousands of toxic chemicals. The quantification of this chemical multiverse remains challenging, which may explain why many studies have focussed on a few “hype” chemicals or simply ignored the issue of chemicals in ecosystems. Interactions between chemicals and between chemicals and non-chemical stressors further complicate prediction of the response of populations, communities and food webs in ecosystems to the cocktail of chemicals. This in turn hampers the evaluation of the role of chemicals as global change drivers and thereby environmental management and conservation. I provide an overview on our current knowledge on the distribution, risks and effects of chemicals and their mixtures in ecosystems. Methods and their pitfalls when aiming to consider the potential effects of chemicals in ecosystems will be discussed. I argue that chemicals represent a systemic problem that can not be captured through a single substance lense and outline how a stronger integration of ecology and ecotoxicology would improve our understanding and capacity for prediction. In this context, I also reflect on how recent advances building on breakthroughs in biomolecular and computational approaches may be useful for ecological studies on non-chemical stressors. The talk ends with a discussion of management solutions to reduce chemical pollution at different scales.

Session description: The European Commission is strongly promoting the establishment and operation of European Research Infrastructures (ERIs), funded by the Member States, as key components of the scientific research landscape supporting the global competitiveness of European research communities. ERIs are aimed at offering high quality data and advanced facilities to European scientists, with particular attention towards early career researchers, promoting innovation, technology transfer to industries, and citizen engagement in science.

In the area of Ecology, some ERIs have been already established as European Research Infrastructure Consortia (ERIC), and are currently operational, whilst others are in the process of becoming so. Globally, the landscape of European Research Infrastructures offers monitoring sites and facilities covering all types of environmental domains, i.e., terrestrial, freshwater, transitional and marine waters and key research areas, such as those dealing with biodiversity organization, conservation and recovery, with ecosystem processes and carbon, water and energy fluxes or with agroecosystems.

Here, we propose an expert panel discussion, with leading scientists from LifeWatch ERIC, the European e-Science Infrastructure for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research, the ecosystem component of ICOS ERIC, the Integrated Carbon Observation System, eLTER RI, the Long Term Ecological Research site network, DiSSCo, the Distributed System of Scientific Collections, Danubius-RI, the International Centre on Advanced Studies on River-Sea Systems, and from the marine Research Infrastructures EMBRC ERIC, EMSO ERIC and Jerico-RI, presenting the key integrated research facilities these infrastructures offer to the EEF ecological research community of practice, running developments, opportunities for engagement and the possibilities to propose new measurements and services to be implemented in the ERIs.

Session description
Ecological phenomena result from the behavior of their constituent agents and their interaction with their biotic and abiotic environment. Agent-based modeling aims to capture these processes and is thus an important complement to more aggregate or statistical modeling approaches. However, the amount of data required to parameterize and test agent-based models (ABMs) often limits them to small areas or specific species and systems. Advances in monitoring (e.g., genetic markers, motion tracking, remote sensing), powerful workflows including machine learning methods to exploit large data sets, and the increasing availability of high-performance computing systems have now enabled agent-based modeling to "go big," i.e., cover large regions and target more general applications and theories. In addition, advances in transferability, scaling, and first-principles theory development through ABM are enabling a mechanistic explanation of the processes behind patterns detected by statistical tools in large data sets. So-called "digital twins" for biodiversity, as envisioned in a recent European Commission funding initiative, appear to be becoming possible: They would allow us to continuously incorporate new data to reduce uncertainty in models and use them for new regions, making them a tool for scenario assessment and policy development. This symposium reviews advances in monitoring, data science, and agent-based modeling, and presents a vision of "big" ABMs that can take ecological application and theory to a new level.

· Session description
The state of the socio-ecosystems is a key challenge today. The sustainability of natural resources is of first importance and priority for the sustainability of human societies. Over time, the ecological systems have moved from climate/natural driven states to human driven states. This considerable change has been triggered mainly by the growing use of natural resources by humans, including land use and resources use. This has reached a critical level in the Anthropocene, which is facing its sixth extinction crisis. Looking at the origin and long-term dynamics of the socio-ecosystem trajectories might provide significant insights that would be useful in addressing the challenges of future of human societies, the environment, and the sustainability of the ecosystem services. Indeed, it appears to be relevant to look at the trajectory of the relationship between the human use of natural resources, according to the socio-cultural development and the state of the ecosystems that support the natural resources.
Dealing with such a long-term scale retrospective, we propose in this symposium to share and discuss research results, and insights, about the assessment of past human use of natural resources and their consequences for socio-ecosystems. We especially welcome contributions that concern the assessment of ecosystem resistance/resilience that are related to human disturbances, identification of state of references, and or legacies on the on-going trajectories. Moreover, innovative and interdisciplinary contributions are highly welcome, as well as more standard researches providing new data/insights.

Session description:
Tropical rainforest loss is mainly driven by the transformation of forests into agricultural lands. This transformation is threatening biodiversity and associated services, as well as jeopardizing vital regulatory ecosystem functions. Ultimately it may endanger whole ecosystem integrity. As such, developing more sustainable strategies to alleviate the negative impacts of rainforest transformation, while reconciling agricultural production and ecosystem functioning is a pressing challenge for past, present, and future ecological research. In this symposium we want to address these challenges. Our overall motivation is to learn and be inspired by each other so that we might synthesize ideas for new projects and think about how to address future challenges.
Specifically, with this symposium we aim (i) to showcase recent advances in ecological research on consequences and sustainable alternatives of rainforest transformation and (ii) to highlight research challenges and future perspectives on rainforest transformation. The symposium will bring together an international research community that has tackled this topic in different locations and with varying perspectives. Talks will range from presenting new methods on how to assess biodiversity at the landscape scale, results from field experiments in tropical regions, and large-scale biodiversity surveys. In addition, two review talks summarizing current knowledge on rainforest transformation and sustainable alternatives for tropical forest conservation will be followed by a moderated discussion panel between all speakers.

Session description : Vineyards belong to the most intensively used agroecosystems in Europe. Insecticide and fungicide treatments are common, often accompanied by weed control using glyphosate. In particular, regular inter-row tillage has resulted in a loss of plant and related arthropod diversity. Recent approaches to restore vineyard biodiversity have shown that environmentally sound management may not only increase species richness but also provide ecosystem services such as improved regulation of pests, increased pollination, improvement of soil structure and reduction of soil erosion. In the present symposium, the relationship between vineyard management, biological diversity and ecosystem functions or services will be analysed and discussed in seven talks from four different European countries. The session keynote speaker Silvia Winter from BOKU Vienna presents an overview on trade-offs and synergies of biodiversity, ecosystem service provision and grapevine production. The two following talks by Adrien Rusch and Verena Rösch will analyse biodiversity at landscape scale in France and in Germany focusing on semi-natural habitats within and outside vineyards. They are followed by four presentations highlighting the importance of inter-row vegetation for vineyard biodiversity and related ecosystem services. The talks by Karsten Mody and Lea Schubert/Daniel Elias will show approaches to sow and establish species-rich inter-row vegetation and its effects on arthropod communities in two different German regions. Tamas Miglecz presents an evaluation of different Hungarian approaches to establish cover crops in vineyards and apple orchards. And the final talk by Leo Rocher and Emile Melloul will demonstrate interactions between spontaneous inter-row vegetation and predatory arthropods involved in biological control of pest insects. The presentation takes into account consequences of increased irrigation to compensate for water competition and for climate change induced drought. The work of the last three talks is part of the EU funded international Life project VineAdapt that also contributes to symposium funding.

Session description:
GBIF - the Global Biodiversity Information Facility - is an international network and data infrastructure funded by the world's governments and aimed at providing open access to data about all types of life on Earth. It is coordinated by its Secretariat in Copenhagen and is working through 104 participant nodes, mainly the National Nodes of the GBIF member countries. The data backbone is diverse and set up by a growing community of more than 1,800 organisations providing free and open access to primary information about “where” and “when” species have been recorded.

Germany and France are among the top four countries delivering datasets and among the top eight regarding georeferenced single data records. Altogether GBIF is publishing more than 2.2 billion species occurrence records. GBIF-mediated data are used and cited in more than 6,900 peer-reviewed articles. Data, scripts, software as well as web tools and portals using the GBIF data landscape and standards are continually being developed. Biological research is supported by GBIF training courses and outreach activities worldwide.

The GBIF4Ecology symposium will introduce the unique data network as source, its variety of stakeholders, from citizen scientists to policy makers, and emphasis on its growing impact for data-driven research in ecology. GBIF standards, data and web tools are being integrated into a worldwide infrastructure given new options to integrate further types of biodiversity data like bio-logging data and eDNA data and interlink non-biological data. Ecological studies with various objectives use GBIF quality data. This session gives the background behind the GBIF landscape of data, standards and tools. It is highlighting the great potential of GBIF-mediated data and services on the long-run and for future (re-)use.

17:15 > 17:55 • P6 • 17:15 > 17:55 • EEF awardee lecture: Biodiversity dynamics under past, present and future global change – insights from macroecology and implications for biosphere stewardship • Auditorium

Earth’s wonderful diversity of life is under strong, increasing pressures from human-induced global change, and it is a massive challenge how to avoid catastrophic biodiversity losses, while meeting the rising needs for sustainable development. Through large-scale and long-term perspectives, macroecology offer important insights on biodiversity dynamics under global change and what is required to achieve sustainable biosphere stewardship in the long-term on a human-dominated planet. The last few millions years have experienced extraordinary instability in climate and the rise of humans as a global ecological force. Hence, there is much to learn from biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics through this period for conservation, restoration and sustainable development in a future characterized by a rising human population and human-driven climate change. The strong climate shifts drove massive ecosystem reorganization, with dispersal and extinction playing major roles. Importantly, strong shifts to novel climates caused massive biodiversity losses, with enduring legacies. Further, there is a globally consistent pattern of strong biodiversity and ecosystem changes in the wake of the global spread of modern humans, Homo sapiens. Losses of large vertebrates are typical, and the associated trophic downgrading had profound ecological effects on a global scale. For the last 10,000 years increasing land transformation through agriculture have exacerbated these impacts. Looking ahead, we can forecast further intensifying impacts from direct human activities and human-driven climate change, with strong potential to lead to massive biodiversity losses with long-lasting consequences. Achieving a positive future for biodiversity requires intensified, integrative efforts to solve the climate and biodiversity crises alongside sustainable, democratic development. We need to strengthen conservation efforts, with major foci on safeguarding biodiversity hotspots and intact ecosystems with special attention to areas buffered against future climate stress – alongside the massive efforts needed to limit global warming as much as possible. Simultaneously, there is strong need, but also high potential for widespread ecosystem restoration through rewilding (restoration to restore self-managing complex ecosystems) to enhance the biodiversity capacity and resilience of natural areas. An emerging important point is that global change is increasingly forcing the rise of novel ecosystems, where alien species inevitably play increasing roles. While their effects can be negative, they also sometimes have positive contributions for biodiversity that need greater consideration. Proactive approaches such as species translocations will be needed to overcome negative effects and enhance adaptive responses to climate change. These efforts to secure biodiversity have major potential for sustainable development, contributing important co-benefits for climate mitigation and adaptation, livelihoods and livability.
