Programme & Abstracts. 284 pp Print: Facultas Verlags- und Buchhandels AG Wien 2 WELCOME Welcome to Salzburg! The 19th SEH European Congress of Herpetology takes place at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the University of Salzburg. It ist hosted by the University of Salzburg and Co-organised by the Herpetological Work Group of the Haus der Natur Museum of Nature and Technics Salzburg and the Austrian Society of Herpetology (ÖGH). More than 200 participants from all continents and 37 countries have registered and contribute to this particularly divers and significant meeting in many fields of the science of herpetology. The scientific programme includes four invited talks with topics which will encompass many scientific fields in herpetology, as well as many geographical areas and herp groups. 129 oral presentations are scheduled in 12 regular sessions, one symposion on Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans and a workshop on Micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT). Also 88 posters will be presented during the two poster sessions and will be accessible throughout the congress. An open meeting of the Regional IUCN Viper Specialist Taxonomy Working Group for Europe and North Asia completes the manifold programme. There will also be a contest for the best student talk and poster with valuable prices. At the welcome party, the visit to the Augustiner Beer hall and at the gala dinner, there will be additional opportunities to meet each other and have inspiring talks. As it is autumn already, we chose localities for the field excursions, where amphibian and reptile sightings are still very likely and the habitats are both picturesque and of conservation interest, also in terms of landscape, botany or ornithology. We also chose places, which are not far from the congress venue, to limit the transport time in favour of herping. On behalf of the Local Organising Committee I wish you an inspiring and stimulating meeting. Kind regards, Andreas Maletzky 3 GENERAL INFORMATION Venue Unversity of Salzburg, Faculty of Natural Sciences Hellbrunnerstraße 34, A-5020 Salzburg Opening Hours and Registration Monday, September 18th 15:00 – 21:00 Tuesday, September 19th 08:00 – 18:00 Wednesday, September 20th 08:00 – 19:00 Thursday, September 21st 08:00 – 18:00 Friday, September 22nd 08:00 – 18:00 Internet Access Free Wi-Fi is available in the building Message Board can be found next to the registration desk Coffee Coffee, tea, soft drinks, mineral water, cakes and cookies will be served during the coffee breaks right in the area in front of the lecture halls.
