You are invited to submit abstracts for traditional talks, speed talks, and posters at the Alberta Chapter of the Wildlife Society Conference 2020. The conference theme is “Species on the Move”, but we welcome contributions from all topics related to wildlife management, conservation, biology, and ecology.
Traditional talks will be 12 minutes in length, with 3 minutes for questions. Speed talks will be 4 minutes in length, with a question period to follow the entire session.
Monetary prizes are awarded for the top three traditional talks, speed talks, graduate posters and undergraduate posters.
Abstract Submission is now closed.
