We attended the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Symposium (EEBST), held at Istanbul University, Istanbul, Türkiye, between 17 and 19 July 2023 (https://eebst.ekoevo.org/eebst-2023/).

Our alumni, D. Deniz Kazancı, presented her oral presentation titled “Drivers of among-population variability in fire-related traits in Turkish Red Pine (Pinus brutia Ten.)“, a presentation related to her Ph.D. thesis. We also had three posters by Çağatay Tavşanoğlu (“Comparison of flammability in two serotinous Mediterranean trees“), Mina Cansu Karaer (“In search of mountain gazelles: Examining diet, gastrointestinal parasites, and stress hormones“), and Esra Bayşahan (“Germination responses to incubation temperature in four herbaceous plants at low and high elevations in a Mediterranean mountain“).

EEBST has been held by the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Society (Türkiye) since 2014 every year. The next EEBST will be in Çanakkale, Türkiye in July 2024.
