We are pleased to announce the third edition of the “Trends in Biodiversity and Evolution - TiBE2011” conferences organized by CIBIO (Research Centre in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources, University of Porto, Portugal; http://cibio.up.pt).

The TiBE conferences aim at joining researchers and students working on the field of evolutionary biology to discuss cutting-edge topics related with speciation, molecular evolution, comparative genomics, population and conservation genetics research, among others.

Held in an informal but stimulating scientific atmosphere, these conferences provide an excellent opportunity for strong interaction and brainstorming between students and more experienced researchers. The programme of the 2010 edition can be found at http://cibio-tibe2010.org.
