July is usually cool, occasionally with rain. The average high temperature is 19.7 C degrees and the low is 10.7 C degrees. The Aeroporto Internacional Salgado Filho is located 7 km from downtown and 8 km from the University. Symposium sessions will largely take place in a new facility, the Centro de Ciencia e Cultura, which includes the Museu de Ciencias e Tecnologia with labs and collections, a theater with 600 seats, a snack bar, a restaurant, a small theater and several rooms. All researchers on phylogeny and classification of Neotropical Fishes are invited to present contributions.
Registration is opened to researchers interested in the subject of the meeting.
The contributions will be grouped into theme areas and will constitute mini-symposia. All contributions will have available 30 minutes for presentation, plus 15 minutes for questions and discussion. Contributions will be published in a Symposium volume. The aim of the organizers is to publish the symposium volume as soon as possible after the meeting. We consequently request that contributors have their manuscripts ready at the time of the meeting.
