Description
The Phytochemical Society of North America held its forty-fourth annual meeting in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada from July 24-28, 2004. This
year's meeting was hosted by the University of Ottawa and the Canadian Forest Service, Great Lakes Forestry Centre and was held jointly
with the International Society of Chemical Ecology. All of the chapters in this volume are based on papers presented in the symposium
entitled "Chemical Ecology and Phytochemistry of Forest Ecosystems". The Symposium Committee, Mamdouh Abou-Zaid, John T. Arnason, Vincenzo
deLuca, Constance Nozzolillo, and Bernard Philogene, assembled an international group of phytochemists and chemical ecologists working
primarily in northern forest ecosystems. It was a unique interdisciplinary forum of scientists working on the cutting edge in their respective
fields. While most of these scientists defy the traditional labels we are accustomed to, they brought to the symposium expertise in phytochemistry,
insect biochemistry, molecular biology, genomics and proteomics, botany, entomology, microbiology, mathematics, and ecological modeling.
Audience
