Birds offer numerous services and play indispensable roles in structuring and functioning of the world’s ecosystems. They are recognized as one of the most important indicators of the state of the environment and habitat change. For centuries, birds have been the subject of both field and laboratory research, and have been used as a model organism in studies spanning the entire gamut of biological research, from molecular and cell biology, through anatomy and physiology, to behaviour, ecology and evolution. Researches on birds have often led to great theoretical and conceptual advances, for example in physiology, ecology, behaviour, biogeography and evolution. Birds exhibit considerable variations in their life-histories and ecological requirement-variations that can be put to good use in understanding fundamental biological questions.
The symposium on Avian Biology in Haridwar at Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya is going to be the third symposium in a row under the auspices of the Association of Avian Biologists in India (AABI) organized in successive years since the inception of the AABI. The first and second symposia were organized in Mizoram University, Aizawl and IISER, Tirupati. During the forthcoming symposium, the speakers will elaborate upon various aspects of avian biology ranging from physiology, chronobiology, endocrinology, behavioural ecology, bioacoustics, ecology, evolutionary biology, conservation biology etc. The symposium will provide an opportunity to promote interaction among the avian biologists from different parts of the country that in turn, shall expose researchers to new and exciting ideas and directions in modern avian biology.
The objective of the symposium is to promote interactions and discussion on various aspects of avian biology through invited talks and poster presentations. Interested researchers may send an abstract (within 300 words) latest by 12th March 2021 for poster presentations.
