Abstract:

The 5^thInternational Symposium of Integrative Zoology will be held at the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, China, 25–28 June 2013 under the auspices of the International Society of Zoological Sciences (ISZS) and China National Committee for the International Union of Biological Sciences (CCIUBS).

The theme of the symposium is Biological Consequences of Global Change (BCGC) and the Symposium endeavors to provide a platform for scientists around the world to share information and data on BCGC, to exchange research results and techniques and to plot out a practical approach to establish a working mechanism for international data analysis and sharing.
