The 10th Annual Meeting of the Macroecology Working Group for the Ecological Society Germany, Austria & Switzerland was held from 19-21 April 2017. This year, the titel of the conference was "Macroecology in Space and Time". Colleagues from the University of Vienna organised the conference with a broad focus on conservation biology, evolution and global change. We took the opportunity of living at the conference venue and presented a poster on our project and some new results.
