IBS 2019 Humboldt Meeting
Universidad San Francisco de Quito USFQ, Ecuador
Two centuries ago Alexander von Humboldt explored the linkages between geology, ecology, and diversity, and laid one of the cornerstones of biogeography. The 2019 IBS Special Meeting celebrates the 250th anniversary of Humboldt’s birth and his legacy.
This academic celebration took place in Ecuador, one of the most symbolic and relevant places in Humboldt´s studies, as exemplified by his Naturgemälde. The event was organized by the International Biogeography Society, Universidad San Francisco de Quito USFQ, and Universidad Regional Amazónica IKIAM, and was housed at USFQ.
