Biodiversity: Concepts, New Tools and Future Challenges The annual meeting of the Italian Society of Ecology (SItE) titled, “Biodiversity: Concepts, New Tools and Future Challenges” was held from 30 August–2 September in Milan, Italy. The SItE annual meeting was held jointly with the Italian Societies of Zoology and Biogeography and supported by the SETAC Italian Language Branch. Several sessions were organized to address topics ranging from basic to applied ecology. Antonio Finizio and Antonio Di Guardo chaired a special session dedicated to ecotoxicology. Several SETAC members participated in the session. The current president of the SETAC Italian Language Branch, Paola Grenni, presented the plenary presentation, “The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry as an open forum where ecologist and chemists solve environmental problems: The role of the SETAC Italian Branch.” She described SETAC’s main mission and past and upcoming events, including the SETAC Europe Annual Meetings, which will be held in Brussels (2017) and Rome (2018). The SETAC Europe Annual Meeting 2018 will be held in the new convention centre of Rome named “the Cloud,” which was designed by the famous architect Fuksas and is located in the modern area of Rome. The table below highlights the platform presentations given during the special session dedicated to ecotoxicology. Platform Presentations Ferrario C., Finizio A., Villa S.
