Dear colleagues,

You are now invited to attend the INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON “SEX DETERMINATION AND DIFFERENTIATION IN FISHES – GENES, ENVIRONMENT AND BEHAVIOUR”.
It will take place September 23–24, 2014 at Fundação da Faculdade de Ciências (FFCUL), Lisboa.

This conference aims to promote knowledge exchange and debate on the latest findings regarding processes of sex differentiation and mechanisms of primary sex determination in fishes. Genetic/epigenetic, environmental and behavioural factors will be discussed as well as the diversity of evolutionary scenarios described in fishes.

This international meeting will feature three outstanding speakers in the field: MANFRED SCHARTL (University of Würzburg, Germany), FRANCESC PIFERRER (Institut de Ciencies del Mar, CSIC, Spain) and RUI OLIVEIRA (ISPA, Portugal).

We look forward to your presence at this world-class scientific conference.
