We are pleased to announce the formation of the
Evolutionary Demography Society (EvoDemoS)
and to invite interested researchers to join. While many societies
include life-history evolution or evolutionary demography within the
range of topics they consider, no active society focuses on these topics
across taxa and disciplines. EvoDemoS is intended to fill this gap.
EvoDemoS is an interdisciplinary scientific society dedicated to the
study of the interactions of ecology and evolutionary biology with
demography, including but not limited to patterns of mortality,
reproduction and migration over age, stage and state and the
evolutionary processes that produce those patterns. All taxa and
methodologies are of interest. Our primary goal is to facilitate
communication between researchers, and as such we are pleased to offer
free membership for 2013 to any interested researcher. We invite members
from students to established experts. We will organize yearly meetings
to provide a specific forum for evolutionary demography. Our first
meeting will be in Odense, Denmark in October of 2013, and will be open
only to society members. Membership can be gained by emailing your name,
preferred email address, affiliation and a sentence describing your
research interests to:
evodemo-list@demogr.mpg.de
Questions and comments can be addressed to this same address.
Please feel free to distribute this announcement broadly.
Sincerely,
The Board of the Evolutionary Demography Society

Following the business meeting (thursday morning) I felt that a good way to have an internet presence is via wikipedia.
Evolutionary Demography has no page, but is covered by biodemography. However, it is clear to me it is out of date.
I started some small Changes and in the spirit of wikipedia I suggest we all do so.
Best
