Societies
International Society of Chemical Ecology
The International Society of Chemical Ecology, Inc. (ISCE) was founded in 1983. It is administered by a Council of 16 members and an Executive Committee which includes the President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, Past-President and a Representative of the Journal of Chemical Ecology.
The ISCE is organized exclusively for scientific purposes, more specifically to promote the understanding of interactions between organisms and their environment that are mediated by naturally occurring chemicals. Research areas include the chemistry, biochemistry and function of natural products, their importance at all levels of ecological organization, their evolutionary origin and their practical application.
The ISCE forms a nucleus for worldwide interdisciplinary cooperation between biologists and chemists. Its membership directory currently lists more than 600 scientists from 35 countries.
Asia-Pacific Association of Chemical Ecologists
The Asia-Pacific Association of Chemical Ecologists (APACE) was officially inaugurated at a symposium meeting held in conjunction with Third Asia-Pacific Conference of Entomology in Taiwan on Nov 21, 1997.
APACE is organized to promote the understanding of interactions between organisms and their environments that are mediated by naturally occurring chemicals. Research areas include the study of structure, function, synthesis and biosynthesis of natural products related to organisms, their importance at all levels of ecological organization, their evolutionary origin and their practical application.
Latin American Association of Chemical Ecology (ALAEQ)
The purpose of ALAEQ is to promote the interactions among scientists of the subcontinent, who are dedicated to the study of the role of naturally occurring compounds which mediate interactions between organisms and their environment. Research areas include the study of structure, function, synthesis, and biosynthesis of natural products related to organisms, their importance at all levels of ecological organization, their evolutionary origin, and their practical application.
