UCMP and the Forams 2010 symposium
Held September 5–10 in Bonn, Germany, this international symposium attracted ~350 people, ~400 papers (half posters), and an authorship over 1000. The meeting dealt with forams in the fossil record, foram evolution, and a heavy dose of foram biology, genetics and use in environmental assessments. It certainly demonstrated a dynamic discipline making all kinds of breakthroughs in many areas of foraminiferal and related research as well as continuing solid research on known problems. UCMP was a sponsor of Forams 2010 and Ken Finger and Jere Lipps were deeply involved, submitting papers, contributing to posters, and convening sessions:
Kenneth L. Finger: Galapagos Islands — an enigmatic hotspot of foraminiferal diversity? Jere H. Lipps, Kenneth L. Finger: How many foraminifera are there? Marie-Thérèse Vénec-Peyré, Jere H. Lipps, Michele Weber, Annachiara Bartolini: Amoco Cadiz oil spill and foraminifera thirty years later David B. Scott, Jere H. Lipps, Thomas E. Duffett: Catching an earthquake in progress: The January 9, 2010, 6.5 earthquake in Northern California (poster) Jere Lipps, Samuel Bowser, Jan Pawlowski: Workshop on The foram Tree of Life Samuel Bowser, Jan Pawlowski, Jere Lipps, Steve Culver (conveners): Session on the Molecular, morphological and database approaches to foram phylogeny
