Dear colleagues,
The Society of Malacology of Mexico, the American Malacological Society, the Latinoamerican Society of Malacology, and the Western Society of Malacologists cordially invites you to attend the meeting Mollusca 2014.
The Meeting of the Americas is a conference that gathers the CLAMA, as well as the corresponding annual meeting of the AMS, the WSM and the SMM.
Mollusca 2014 will be held at the Library Complex “Amoxcalli” in the Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico City, from 23 to 27 June 2014.
We are expecting wide global participation in the Congress, and anticipate highlighting the tremendous progress in molluscan research of the Americas. Oral talks and posters will be considered on any topic that includes mollusks: including, but not limited to, taxonomy, ecology, biology, evolution, fisheries, and the distribution and conservation of marine, terrestrial and freshwater mollusks.
Currently proposed symposia are:
Bivalvia of Americas – organized by Diego Zelaya and Paul Valentich-Scott
Currently proposed workshops and classes are:
The Purple snail– organized by Zoila Castillo
Histology – organized by Pilar Torres
We are actively soliciting suggestions for additional symposia and workshops. Please contact one of the meeting organizers if you would like to assist in organizing a symposium. See contact information below or send an email to:
