Bird migration specialists gather in Gibraltar for Calpe 2010

GIBRALTAR "Calpe 2010, linking bird migration to climate change in ‘Ecological Change and the Evolution of Bird Migration Systems’, is the fourteenth in the series of conferences held on the Rock," says Alice Mascarenhas in today's Gibraltar Chronicle. Acknowledging the prime location of Gibraltar as a migratory route, keynote speaker Jacques Blondel, Director of Research Emeritus at the Centre for Functional and Evolutionary ecology in France, said this made it a key place to hold the conference especially at such a crucial point in the world debate on climate change. The Gibraltar part of Calpe '10 took place at John Mackintosh Hall from September 16 to 19.
