The deadline for submitting abstracts for full talks to the 2012 conference on Informatics for Phylogenetics, Evolution, and Biodiversity (iEvoBio) has been extended to Monday, April 9, 2012. We hope that this will give those interested in contributing sufficient time to do so.
Please see http://bit.ly/iEvoBio2012_CfA for the full Call for Abstracts and author instructions. We still expect to be able to notify accepted talks in time for the early registration deadline of iEvoBio (and Evolution).
