The International Congress on Vertebrate Morphology will be convening in Barcelona, Spain July 8–12, 2013. I have found past meetings extremely enjoyable with many exciting talks. How many from the anole community are considering attending?

The call for symposia for ICVM 10 was recently announced and the deadline for proposed symposia is April 15. With the growing number of labs studying anole development is it time to consider organizing an anole evo-devo symposium? What about a “reptilian” evo-devo symposium that brings together biologists working on other squamate, crocodilian, and turtle species? Perhaps its too soon or maybe another meeting? While mulling these ideas over I would appreciate hearing thoughts from others in the community. Please leave your comments below or email me directly.
