The congress with venue at the Universitat
Autònoma de Barcelona calls together neontologists and palaeontologists with a
research focus on bivalve molluscs. Plenary talks include population genetics,
evolution of ontogeny, evolutionary paleontology, biomineralisation and
freshwater conservational biology, but contributions need not be restricted to
these topics. In addition, there will be a planning session for a new bivalve
treatise. Two one-day excursions - one on recent one on fossil bivalves - will
be organised.
Interested persons are asked to register and submit abstracts via the congress
