Some of us met at the Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution meeting in May 2017 in Victoria, BC. The (herbivory) highlight of the conference was the session “Ecology of Plant-Herbivore Interactions in Cold Places”, where we listened to very interesting presentations by Jen Forbey, Greg Henry, John Serafini, Michel P Laforge, Peter Tarleton and Peter Kotanen. We also had a lovely HN lunch get-together, discussing some science while enjoying the sun!
