The 19th European Carabidologists Meeting will be in Italy. The Meeting will be organized by the
“Parco Naturale Paneveggio - Pale di San Martino” in the town of Fiera di Primiero (TN), Italy,
16th-20th of September 2019. Great visibility to your research starting from the abstract!
The central topic of the 19th European Carabidologists' Meeting is "Carabids in extreme
environments". It is consistent with the geographical location of the Meeting, but at the same time
"extreme" leaves room for many interpretations (e.g. city, tundra, road roundabout are extreme
environments). As usual, it is possible to send an abstract even on a different topic, e.g. carabid
taxonomy, ecosystem services, agroecology, species traits, etc. We are also open to suggestions of
mini-symposia, roundtables, etc.

Abstracts for the 19th European Carabidologists Meeting will be published online in the journal
ARPHA Conference Abstracts (ACA). It is a novel, open access, human- and machine-readable
platform designed to assist conference organisers and participants in authoring, submission, peer
review, editorial management, publication and dissemination of conference abstracts in any field of
science, published with DOI in semantic HTML, XML and PDF formats.
Manuscripts intended for submission to ACA, should be written in the collaborative online ARPHA
Writing Tool.

European Carabidologists Meeting" was created
