14th Annual Conference of The Wildlife Society Tucson, Arizona .. September 22–26, 2007
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED PAPERS AND POSTERS
Deadline: February 15, 2007
The Wildlife Society will hold its 14th Annual Conference in Tucson, Arizona, September 22–26, 2007. The meeting will include workshops, symposia, panel discussions, round tables, special poster sessions, contributed papers (oral presentations), and contributed posters. We invite submission of contributed papers and posters on topics of wildlife science, management, conservation, education, or policy within the broad theme of Excellence in Wildlife Stewardship through Science and Education. Presentations will not be published, so we encourage reports from the author's most recent scientific investigations and management experiences. 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. Papers and posters will be accepted based on their technical merit and contribution to our knowledge of species, populations, communities, ecological processes, management practices, conservation initiatives, education models, or policy issues. Please note that presentations from students are welcome but are not given preferential treatment during review. We have found that students do as well as or better than professionals under our blind review process. However time/space is a limiting factor and we will not be able to accept all papers/posters submitted (whether from students or professionals).
All contributed papers (oral presentations) will be scheduled for 20 minutes, which includes 15 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions. Oral presentations are limited to Microsoft PowerPoint; no other formats (such as slides, overheads, or video) will be accepted.
We urge participants to consider presentation of their work as posters. Posters provide an opportunity for authors to participate in more detailed communication with attendees. Posters are displayed for a half or full day and authors are requested to attend their posters during scheduled breaks. Posters will be displayed on horizontal cloth-covered boards 4-ft. high x 8-ft. wide.
Instructions for Submitting Abstracts
Submit an abstract according to instructions on the special online abstract submission site, OASIS (after December 15, 2006). It is accessed via a link from www.wildlife.org. The OASIS site will lead you through the submission steps. You may initiate a submission, leave it, and return to complete or revise your submission as often as you like until the submission deadline. The submission deadline is February 15, 2007 at midnight CST. Abstracts that miss this deadline will not be considered. Please submit only one contributed paper or poster per primary author. This is to allow as many people as possible to present.
Complete submission details can be found on the OASIS site. Highlights are listed here to aid in preparing your abstract. You will have the option of submitting the body of your abstract (maximum 300 words) either by typing directly into the space provided or inserting a Word file. Abstract should include a statement of objectives, brief description of methods, principal results, and conclusions. Include scientific names in the abstract but not in the paper/poster title. Also, do not abbreviate place names (e.g. state or country) in the paper/poster title. Do not include paper/poster title or author information in the abstract. This information must be entered in the spaces provided on the site. You will be asked to choose one of the following subject categories for your paper/poster.
Conservation and Management of Birds Ecology and Habitat Relationships of Birds Population Dynamics of Birds Conservation and Management of Mammals Ecology and Habitat Relationships of Mammals Population Dynamics of Mammals Reptiles and Amphibians Biometrics Conservation of Communities, Ecosystems, and Landscapes Human Dimensions, Conservation Education, and Conservation Policy Wildlife Damage Management Wildlife Diseases and Toxicology New Technology and Applications
Notice of Abstract Acceptance Notice of acceptance will be made by April 20.

new working group « Result #10 on Dec 5, 2005, 5:35pm »
Hello CPC/SCB members,
I'm starting a new work group, which will seek to put together a "conservation biology alternative" for the BLM Resource Management Plan revisions for the Moab and Monticello BLM Field Offices in southeast Utah.
As you know, BLM Resource Management Plans shape most management actions including grazing, off highway vehicle use, oil and gas development, wildlife habitat protection, wild and scenic river designation recommendations, and more.
Our existing group working on this project (myself and a co-worker here at Wild Utah Project, and a couple partners at other organizations here in Utah) would be keen to have a few conservation biologists familiar with the science and studies behind some of the resource issues (oil & gas development impacts to wildlife, effects of ORV use to desert soils, aridland grazing systems, etc.) join the team and offer input ranging from pertinent literature reviews to conservation biology based "BMPs," to guidance for field indicators to trigger management changes, etc.
There is a lot of work to do between now and spring of 2006 (when the DEIS for the BLM's proposed management alternatives in the RMP revisions are supposedly going to be out for public review). The sooner we can deliver a "Conservation Biology Alternative" to the field offices the better chance we have of it being addressed in the DEIS next year.
Just let me know if you're interested in helping out!
