The Editors of Physiological and Biochemical Zoology have again agreed to publish the symposia synthesia.

This will be done in a very similar manner as to was employed for Ithala 2004. You can view that published volume at:

The editors of PBZ have again proposed that each symposium session contribute an ‘overview’ or ‘synthesia’ paper - which is to reflect the theme of the session, and will be published collectively after the normal peer review process. We think this is continues to be a novel and exciting idea.

The different symposia session chairs will determine exactly how each theme is to be represented. In some cases, especially where the session is large, the organizer might elect to compose an overview or review of the theme. In other cases, the session chair may elect to co-opt some or all of the speakers into a co-authored paper. These options were both employed previously.

Individual delegates should be contacted by their session chair but otherwise should contact that person to determine how their session might be represented.
