The AzSS – Azores Summer School follows the need and ambition to create a complete, high-quality multidisciplinary course on Marine Island (Palaeo)Biogeography, gathering internationally recognized experts to present state-of-the-art knowledge in diverse areas. Over the past two decades, multidisciplinary studies on recent and fossil coastal marine Macaronesian taxa have culminated in the publication of an in depth marine biogeographic theory, contributing to a better understanding of the evolutionary processes and patterns in marine groups inhabiting these remote regions.
The first edition of the AzSS will be held at Santa Maria Island (Azores Archipelago, Portugal) from 6 to 19 of August, 2021, aiming to grow in the next years into the most complete and unique course on Marine Island [...]]]>
