The 2023 edition of MCEB is special, as it will take place on the island of Corsica, for the first time, near the amazing town of Cargèse and its beautiful coastline.

This edition will address a major theme: the characterization of species biodiversity and the monitoring and conservation of natural and anthropized populations, using mathematical modeling and computational methods.  These approaches are based on the complementarity between: (1) the analysis of biodiversity on a large evolutionary scale (macroevolution) using phylogenetics, population genetics and macro-ecological approaches; and (2) the detailed study of micro-evolutionary and micro-ecological processes that allow us to understand the dynamics of the populations studied and their interactions with their ecosystems.

Beyond this year’s themes, general concepts, models, methods and algorithms will be presented and discussed, just as in the previous editions of MCEB. As usual, the meeting will bring together researchers originating from various disciplines: mathematics, statistics, computer science, phylogenetics, population genetics, epidemiology, ecological modeling... Keynote speakers will introduce a field of research and discuss their own work in this field. Afternoon will be for short presentations and posters, with plenty of time for discussions. We will stop early every day, thus leaving time for other activities, such as hiking, snorkeling, sea kayaking…
