Welcome to the Homepage of the Society of Avian Paleontology and Evolution, an international scientific society dedicated to the study of the evolution of birds. Here you will find news and information about SAPE, how to become a member of the society, current members, past and future meetings, and links to many sites of importance to those who have an interest in fossil birds, bird origins, or any other aspect of the evolution of birds. We encourage and welcome comments about our webpage so that we may better serve all of our members and visitors to this site.

Please note that the next SAPE meeting will be hosted by the Natural History Museum in Vienna, 11-16 June 2012! More info on this from Ursula Gölich, chairman of the organization committee, will be presented in the upcoming Newsletter 2011.
