Dear all,

Please find below an outline of the symposium organised by Leonardo
Cabrera and Mark Bonta at the VIIIth Beotropical Ornithological
Congress being held at Maturin, Venezuela next month.

The papers sound very interesting and I hope that we will be able to
post further information (abstracts, papers etc) to the site as they
come to hand. Good luck and I trust it will be a successful symposium!

Cheers,

Robert Gosford
ERSG moderator
