The working group FREE<\/strong><\/em><\/a>,<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0from the FRB’s Centre for the Synthesis and Analysis of Biodiversity (CESAB<\/strong><\/a>), invites you to Montpellier for a conference in English<\/strong> on Thursday the 16th of June 2022 at 2pm, entitled “<\/strong>From species to functions: towards a paradigm shift for biodiversity conservation?”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This conference will present a new facet of biological rarity \u2013 functional rarity<\/strong> \u2013 and will lay the foundations for biodiversity and rarity conservation policies, revisited in the light of functional ecology. The working group\u00a0FREE<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0has largely contributed to the development of the conceptual basis of functional rarity and has proposed global analyses attempting to identify areas of the globe with a significant proportion of ecologically unique species.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During this conference, a group of international researchers will discuss the direct and major implications of this research for biodiversity conservation policies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The conference will be held in the afternoon and will be preceded, in the morning, by a training workshop dedicated to the use of R packages that allows to calculate various functional rarity and diversity index and to map them. The workshop will be <\/span>in English,<\/span><\/b> free, and lunch will be included.<\/span> Any other costs should be covered by the participants. <\/span>A good knowledge of the R software is required.<\/strong><\/div>\n
