VIII SOUTHERN CONNECTION CONGRESS 18-23 January 2016 Punta Arenas, Chile WELCOME TO THE VIII SOUTHERN CONNECTION CONGRESS 2016 It is our great pleasure to host the VIII Southern Connection Congress in Punta Arenas, Chile, one of the southernmost cities on the South American continent and bordering the Straits of Magellan. Many 19th-century naturalists and explorers dared to navigate the treacherous Straits of Magellan on their way to the distant shores of the southern continents and islands. Among these explorers is the illustrious Charles Darwin, a champion of modern biology, one of the founders of the science of biogeography, and an individual who has inspired many of us to address questions about the diversification of southern biotas, together with their similarities and differences and conservation needs. It is thus very fitting to host the VIII Southern Connection congress in this part of the world. Punta Arenas is also the proud home of the University of Magallanes, an academic institution that sustains long-standing records of studies on the natural history, ecosystems, and human settlements at the southern end of the Americas. The city is currently an important gateway to the Antarctic continent. As of 1993, scientists from many parts of the globe have met seven times in five different countries to discuss the progress of research on the biota and ecosystems in the far-flung southern lands characterized by strong Gondwanan links. In this VIII Southern Connection congress – the second to be hosted by Chile – we are very happy to receive many distinguished scientists and new generations who have come to this southern bastion of Chile to share their deep or emerging knowledge of the history and ecology of the southern lands in research areas such as Climate Change, Invasion Biology, Phylogenetics and Phylogeography, Macroecology, Paleoecology, Earth and Ocean science, Ethnography, Plant Reproductive Biology, Ecophysiology, Ecosystem and Population Ecology, Conservation biology, and Environmental Ethics, among others. We hope that the 2016 meeting, bathed in the especially invigorating windy environment of Punta Arenas and surrounded by outstanding beauty of the southern channel islands, mountains, fjords and Patagonian steppe, will stimulate the development of many new ideas, and 2 collaborations, leading to exciting future research for all present. We will endeavor do our best to ensure that the VIII Southern Connection Congress is an enjoyable and memorable experience. Juan-Carlos Aravena Juan J. Armesto Mary T. K. Arroyo Ricardo Rozzi January 2016 ORGANIZING INSTITUTIONS Institute of Ecology and Biodiversity (IEB) The Institute of Ecology and Biodiversity (IEB) is one of nine research institutes of the Chilean Millennium Science Initiative (MSI). Millennium Institutes are competitively-awarded Centers of Excellence in science, bringing together scholars sharing a common philosophy and research goals and with demonstrated capacity to engage in quality collaborative research. IEB was created in 2006. A novel institution organized as a national network of scientists pertaining to several Chilean universities, IEB currently counts with 13 principal scientists, several associate scientists, and over 100 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. IEB´s main research lines are Palaeoecology, Macroecology, Ecosystems Ecology, Microevolution, Invasion Biology, and Biocultural Ethics, with Climate Change and Conservation as cross-cutting themes. IEB represents Chile in several international committees such as the GMBA, ILTER, MIREM, IPBES and has been recently recognized for its high Nature Index 2014. As of 2008, in addition to receiving MSI funding, IEB has received Base Funding from CONICYT, principally destined to support the transference of scientific research into tangible actions that directly benefit society. The host institution of IEB is the Universidad de Chile, Santiago. University of Magallanes (UMAG) The University of Magallanes (UMAG) was created in 1981 as a successor to the Punta Arenas branch of the former State Technical University, which was originally established in 1961. As a public institution with a solid tradition in the Chilean university system, UMAG currently has over three thousand students enrolled in its five faculties. Through teaching, research and extension, UMAG aims to develop knowledge and human resources in the southernmost region of Chile and South America. UMAG’s academic core is formed by 160 full-time professors and a number of associate professors. UMAG’s teaching, research and extension activities takes place in four faculties: Engineering Sciences; Humanities; Social and Health Sciences; and Economic and Juridical Sciences. Together, these faculties offer 29 undergraduate degrees and technical degrees, as well as some post-graduate degrees. All students are 3 prepared with a high level of academic excellence, with emphasis on all-around development. Instituto Antártico Chileno (INACH) The Instituto Antártico Chileno (INACH), located in Punta Arenas, is a technical organization of and advisory body to the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is the national institution responsible for planning, co-ordinating, directing and controlling officially authorized scientific and technological activities of the Chilean government and private organizations on Antarctica. INACH organizes and leads its own expeditions and maintains scientific stations in the Antarctic. INACH is responsible for compliance with Chilean Antarctic Policy, which requires the development of scientific research, technology and innovation in Antarctica following international standards, effective participation in the Antarctic Treaty System and related international forums, and communication and outreach of scientific activities on Antartica.
