The TWS Nutritional Ecology Working Group defines nutritional ecology as the science of relating an animal to its environment through nutritional interactions, involving nutritional requirements, food availability and quality, foraging and life history strategies, changes in body mass and condition, with implications for reproduction, survival, and population performance. The upcoming webinar series explores a range topics including resource selection modeling, the role of nutritional condition in mule deer ecology, nutrition, movements, and conservation of the northern pintail in Texas and beyond and macronutrient correlates of immune defenses in free-living ungulates.

Understanding Livestock > Wildlife > Human > Environmental Health connections are critical in meeting challenges of disease disasters involving depopulation, decontamination, and disposal activities. Response to highly-consequential animal disease is not limited to farm animals and disposal of wildlife, marine mammals, fish or other species may be necessary. The symposium to be held in Wisconsin, USA will highlight new research, case studies, and field experiences related to recent animal mortality disposal methodologies. One Health discussions, most recently HPAI in multiple species, as well as critical assessments of public policy to capture and disseminate new information on these topics, and stimulate additional research, policy, and educational programs are on the agenda. 

At the 8th ECCB in Leiden, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners will have the opportunity share knowledge and exchange ideas. Not only will this congress present exciting scientific research, but will also showcase successful collaborations and build bridges between stakeholders and disciplines.  The meeting will provide an important opportunity to tackle the issues everyone faces in everyday life, including how to communicate the biodiversity conservation message effectively, and   how to maintain a dialogue in difficult political or social circumstances.

During this week the congress will try to find answers to its key question: how can biodiversity be safeguarded effectively in the long term?
