ESA symposium on genitalia evolution

[Hojun Song]

Dear all,

The Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society of America will be held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida during 15-18 December. Sibyl Bucheli and I organized a Program Symposium on the evolution of insect genitalia which may be of your interest. It will be on 18 December morning. Below I am attaching the program extracted from the addendum.
Come join us for this exciting symposium!

Cheers,
Hojun Song
