Presentation Information
Symposium
*In order to present in Providence, all presenters, including symposia presenters, must register and pay for the meeting. Please note that submitting an abstract does not automatically register you for the meeting. Online registration is a separate system from the abstract submission site and requires a separate login. Your username and password are not necessarily the same for the two systems.
Presenters who need to cancel and do not notify ASIH or K-State 24 hours before the start of the meeting date are penalized and are not allowed to present in the next JMIH.

Special Symposium in Honor of Dr. Karel Frederik Liem
We will honor the life of Dr. Karel Frederik Liem, Henry Bryant Bigelow Professor of Ichthyology and Curator of Ichthyology at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, who died on Sept. 3, 2009 at the age of 74 after a summer-long battle with pancreatic cancer. Karel was a pioneer in the field of functional morphology of fishes and a much admired mentor and teacher at both Harvard and at Friday Harbor Labs, U. Washington. He was a recipient of the Frederick H. Stoye Award (1961), and served as Copeia Section Editor for Genetics, Development, and Morphology (1973-1976), and member of the ASIH Board of Governors (1987). A Symposium and Poster Session will highlight the diverse achievements of his students and colleagues. These events will conclude with a celebratory dinner at the conference hotel in Providence (specific dates TBA in the JMIH Call for Papers). If you would like more information, please contact Jackie Webb.

Fish evolution, biogeography, diversity and development: A symposium in honor of John Lundberg
John Lundberg has been a key figure in the development of the systematics of Neotropical fishes, particularly catfishes and the deepwater Amazonian/Orinocan fauna. His vision and insight has led to an explosion of systematic work by scientists from several countries, and it continues to have a major impact on these areas of systematic ichthyology through his outstanding ability to involve students and colleagues in his publications, to stimulate them to share his passion, and to continue on their own. Lundberg’s former students and colleagues (below) have contributed to a wide range of topics in ichthyology, and the theme of this symposium will be on the integration of diverse data sets and research areas that were inspired by John. John’s contribution to the fields of phylogenetics, paleontology, biogeography, rates of evolution and extinction, biomechanics and functional morphology, life history, systematics, and development will be emphasized in the talks.
