Congress Abstract Submission Deadline:  30 June 2010

Deer managers, researchers and scientists are invited to submit an abstract for oral presentation or poster presentation at the 7th International Deer Biology Congress.  Hosted by the Huilo Huilo Foundation, the organizing committee is accepting abstracts reporting on scientific investigations of all cervid species.  Papers and posters will be selected based on their relevance to research, management and conservation of wild and farmed cervids. The official language is English.
 
Abstracts will be published in the symposium program.

Abstract Evaluation

Papers and posters will be accepted based on their technical merit and contribution to our knowledge of cervid species, populations, communities, ecological processes, management practices, conservation initiatives, education models, or policy issues. Papers and posters should present results from completed studies or completed phases of long-term projects. Work in progress is more appropriate for presentation at local or regional meetings and will not be accepted. Students can submit work-in-progress abstracts as part of a separate poster session held in conjunction with the conference. Preference will be given to work not previously presented elsewhere.
 

Notice of Decision

Notice of acceptance will be made within 4 weeks after submission
 

Registration

The presenting author or co-author MUST sign up online before submitting an abstract. In case a presentation is not accepted and the author already paid the registration fee, he/she can ask for a refund.
Authors are encouraged to pay the registration fee by May 31, 2010 in order to be considered for an oral presentation and to guarantee that the accepted abstract will be published in the symposium program.
