Annual Physiological Ecology Meeting White Mountain Research Station hosts the annual Physiological Ecology Meeting at the Owens Valley Lab (OVL). As always, the meeting format emphasizes an enjoyably informal exchange of ideas and research, and a comfortable venue to discuss topics of interest, for students to gain experience presenting their work in a friendly setting, and for veteran researchers to try out new ideas with only limited heckling.
