ABLE OF CONTENTS
We welcome all of you to the first ATBC meeting held in France. We hope you have fruitful interactions
with colleagues, old friends, and new collaborators and mentors amidst the beautiful surroundings.
Founded in 1963, the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC) is a membership
corporation, international in scope, membership, and objectives, functioning as an international body to
foster scientific understanding and conservation of tropical ecosystems by supporting research, collaboration,
capacity building, and communication among tropical biologists and conservationists. The ATBC, currently
with members from over 65 countries, composes a broad community of tropical biology professionals and
provides outlets for research dissemination, educational and funding opportunities, particularly for early career
scientists working across the tropics. As a diverse community of science professionals, the ATBC provides a
credible, collective, and authoritative vision of tropical biology and conservation issues that underpin public
policy and management action. Our journal, Biotropica, is the leading international journal on tropical biology,
and publishes six issues per year on-line.
Starting with the Asia-Pacific and Student and Early Career Scientist Chapters, new regional and
thematic chapters are being formed to provide more outlets for collaboration, communication, and regional
networking. The ATBC also offers a Mentoring program and Capacity Building activities at annual meetings.
The Conservation Chapter works actively to focus on important issues where ATBC resolutions and
declarations can have an impact on decision making and mobilizing conservation actions around the tropics.
We offer many ways to become involved.
ATBC provides tiered membership options for students and regular members regardless of economic
status, and provides a limited number of travel grants to annual meetings. We aim to be supportive, inclusive,
participatory, transparent, and multidisciplinary in all of our activities and events.

Greetings and welcome to Montpellier and to the first meeting in France, and the third meeting in Europe
of the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation! Our 53
rdAnnual Meeting focuses on reconciling
conservation with the sustainable use of biodiversity, and follows on the momentum generated by the
COP21 in Paris. We are fueled by the power that research collaboration and communication among scientists
can unleash for the betterment of the environment, biodiversity, and society. This meeting represents a
partnership among many organizations (International Union of Forest Research Organizations, Center for
International Forest Research, British Ecological Society Tropical Ecology Group, Society for Tropical Ecology,
Société Française d’Ecologie) and several host institutions (CIRAD, IRD, INRA, CNRS, and Muséum National
d’Histoire Naturelle). We thank them and all of our sponsors for their support and for making this exciting
and important meeting possible. Together we can forge new paths that unite conservation and sustainable
development in the tropics. Let this meeting be a new beginning for all of us.

Welcome to the 53
rdATBC 2016 annual meeting held in Montpellier, France. The location of the
conference in a temperate country to debate about tropical ecosystems biodiversity can be at first glance
surprising, but Montpellier gathers one of the most important French research institutions involved in
natural resources management issues in tropical regions. Having this 53
rdATBC meeting here is therefore
a recognition of the work of these institutions to improve biological conservation in tropical countries.
We are grateful to Montpellier region and its academic institutions for supporting the organization of the
ATBC Annual Meeting. The conference theme is “Tropical Ecology and Society: Reconciling Conservation
and Sustainable Use of Biodiversity”, a theme that is particularly relevant for tropical ecosystems which
are still under constant pressure by conversion to agriculture and pastures, are in most cases unsustainably
exploited for their goods and faced therefore high degradation pressure as well. Moreover, six months
after the Paris declaration of the COP 21, the challenges to fight climate change still remain very present in
our minds. In this context, we all know that conservation and sustainable use of the biodiversity of tropical
ecosystems will play a major role in any action taken towards climate change mitigation and adaptation. In
a world where human population of 9 billions people is expected for 2050, tropical biodiversity will have
to be maintained in human-modified and sometimes novel environments. Reconciling conservation and
sustainable use of biodiversity in the tropics is therefore a major challenge for the present and the future
of tropical ecosystems. The 53
rdATBC Annual Meeting is a great opportunity for tropical biologists from
many different disciplines and regions attending to exchange ideas, concepts and approaches, as well as to
elaborate and promote innovations for the conservation of tropical ecosystems in the decades to come.
We hope that you will all enjoy the program of this conference which includes more than 70
symposia and free sessions. We have no doubt that you will meet old friends and make new ones, and will
have exciting discussions. We are sure that you will also enjoy Montpellier and its beautiful countryside.
Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all the colleagues of the organizing committee and
everyone who has worked with us to make this meeting possible, and for sure a great success.

Stéphanie CARRIÈRE (IRD)
Stéphanie M. Carrière is co-responsible for the multidisciplinary research team 1:
“Biodiversity and society” of the Research Unit GRED (Governance, Risk, environment
& Development) at IRD. She is working as a tropical ecologist and ethnobiologist mainly
in central Africa and Madagascar tropical rain forests for about 20 years. Her particular
interest is to address ecological dynamics induced by human activities especially in tropical
agroecosystems but also to understand the potential role of local ecological knowledge and practices on
biodiversity conservation.
Pia PAROLIN (INRA)
Pia Parolin is an ecologist and botanist at the Agronomy Research Institute (INRA) in
Nice/Sophia Antipolis, France, and at the Dept. of Biodiversity of Plants / University of
Hamburg, Germany. She is the Vice-President of the Society for Tropical Ecology (gtö)
and the Chair of the Conservation Committee of the Association for Tropical Biology
and Conservation (ATBC). She studies floodplain ecology in the Amazon and the Pantanal in
Brazil. She is part of the founding group of ATBC Europe and hopes to contribute, with this European ATBC
meeting in Montpellier, to improve the networking between European tropical ecologists.

Biology and Conservation (ATBC), and current vice-president of the Society for Tropical
Ecology. He had (co-)chaired ATBC2008 and ATBC2012 meetings, and the symposia on
frugivores and seed dispersal (FSD) in 2010 and 2015. His research is about the animal-plant
relationships in tropical rainforests, Carapa tree diversity, the sustainable use and conservation of non-timber
forest products, and the impact of anthropogenic activities on biodiversity and tropical ecosystem health.
