During the International Limnological Congress in Munich, Germany in 1989, it became apparent to a small group of participants that the time had come for waterbirds to be treated in a limnological context. This led to an ad hoc Symposium, ‘‘Aquatic Birds in the Trophic Web of Lakes’’, held in Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada, in August 1991. The proceedings of this symposium were published in Hydrobiologia (1994) (Kerekes & Pollard, 1994) and Developments in Hydrobiology (1994) (Kerekes & Pollard, 1994). The outstanding success of this symposium led to the formation of the Working Group on Aquatic Birds of Societas Internationalis Limnologiae (SIL) during the XXV SIL Congress in Barcelona, Spain, in 1992. |
