Welcome to the Australasian Evolution Society web page. The aims of our relatively young society are to foster interest and intellectual exchange among those interested in all facets of evolution. The society intends to realise these aims by holding a conference every two years, and by various exchanges fostered by this web page.
The society was established in 1998 at the University of Queensland, and the intention of members is to make it grow and persist as a vigorous and stimulating forum. Membership costs Au$40 (Au$20 for students and retirees) and covers the period up to 27 September 2011. I therefore encourage you to join the society, if you have not already done so, to participate at our conferences and to contribute to the web page.
The highlight of 2011 will be the yth AES Conference at
James Cook University , Townsville from 24-27. We hope to see many of you here in Townsville during this time.
We continue to develop a strategy and information resources that will increase the profile of evolutionary biology and foster greater interaction among
members and institutions within the region. We are particularly interested in working with members to engage the local, national or international media on matters evolutionary
and assisting members who are planning to engage government at any level. Please ensure your profile on the
Evolution Research pages of this website are up-to-date.
