Several members of the Mediterranean Biome working group participated in the different sessions of the International Conference of Ecological Sciences celebrated in Marseille on the 25th – 28th of October. The conference also gave us the opportunity to meet Virginie Baldy, one of the chairs of the BIODIVMEX network project.

BIODIVMEX is a research program developed within the framework of the MISTRALS initiative (Mediterranean Integrated Studies at Regional And Local Scales) and focused on achieving a better understanding of the environmental functioning of the Mediterranean basin in the context of ongoing global change. A very interesting collaboration for our working group!
