Hello Ornith-L, BARD and Birding-Aus members

I’m writing to solicit contributors to an avian landscape ecology
symposium that I’m trying to organize at the Brazilian Ornithological
Congress (CBO XV: Congresso Brasileiro de Ornitologia, 30 June – 6 July
2007 http://www.ararajuba.org.br/cbo2007/index.html) at Porto Alegre in
the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil in July 2007.

The working title of the symposium at the moment is “Ecologia de aves na
escala da paisagem - métodos, desafios e incertezas” (Bird ecology at
the landscape scale: methods, challenges and uncertainties). My paper to
kick it off on 4 July is expected to be “Métricas em Ecologia de
Paisagem e aves urbanas: há uma conexão?” (Landscape metrics and urban
birds: is there a connection?). I hope to submit a symposium proposal by
the deadline of 1 December 2006 – short notice I know, but currently I’m
a few players short.

Papers can be given in Portuguese, Spanish or English. The details for
individual contributors can be found here
http://www.ararajuba.org.br/cbo2007/resumos.html in Portuguese. Use an
online translator to get the gist, or contact me for a translation!
